We seem to have had a busy few weekends of late and the
upcoming one is set to continue the trend.
We have an extra day off on Friday
as we are heading to Newark for the annual Newark Festival weekend and want to
get a decent mooring for the duration.
We plan to head to the boat on Thursday evening picking up
another 60 litres of fuel on the way. Once refuelled and the bedding has been
changed we will take a gentle evening cruise to Torksey.
Our tide for Friday to get us up the Trent to Newark isn’t while 1pm so we can have a steady morning of pottering around, refilling
the water tank and having a leisurely breakfast all in our town time. There should even be plenty of time to fit in a short stroll to the village post office to stock up on their amazing duck eggs.
Assuming we can get a mooring as intended we will be moored
in Riverside Park, Newark by 4pm and plan to spend the rest of the weekend here
enjoying the atmosphere and hopefully soaking up some sun, although the weather forecast looks to have let us down. But as we all know this can soon change.
Saturday should be spent sitting on the boat listening to the many bands playing with Madness headlining the evening line up. Then on Sunday it will be a steady run back to Burton Waters. Another afternoon tide so there will be no rushing about on Sunday morning.
