Home Again

We have made it back to UK soil again. Now for a couple of days on Naughty-Cal.

Sunny Amsterdam

We are being really lucky with the weather today. Blue skies all round in Amsterdam.

On The Big Ship

After a brilliant day in Hull we have just checked onto The Pride of Rotterdam for the evening.

Getting Ready

After the extended weekend last weekend it has felt somewhat of a rushed week this week and we have only just started getting ready for this coming weekends adventures.

Yesterday we felt it was about time we picked up some Euro's and got some cash out for the weekends jaunt to Hull and then onto Amsterdam.

The exchange rates are not the best right now but that doesn't really matter for what we took out just for a few days beer tokens. It will make more difference later in the year when we head to Brittany for the week.

It seems to have been a really short week this week, well in truth it will have been, just three days at work. Tonight we can start winding down and getting ready to go tomorrow morning. We will get our bags packed ready so we just have to get up, grab a bite to eat and then hit the road.

What a Weekend - Part 2

With Hewy Louis not fixed it is time to strap her to the back of Naughty-Cal and head for home. We can at this point still make the last advertised locking into Torksey so lets get going.

It's a pleasant day for it

Meandering up river. It is as this point that we hear the news the last lock will now be 5pm not the 6pm advertised. We won't make it back in time!

Time to ring the relevant bosses and arrange an extra day off work.

The end of another day.

Day three and time to set this rig up and bit better.

Up onto the Fossdyke.

Heading for home. Nearly there now.

Naughty-Cal enjoying a well earned rest.

Hewy Louis back on her mooring.

It has been an adventure that's for sure and a trip to West Stockwith that none if us will forget for a long time to come. Now we just need to get Hewy Louis fixed and it's time to arrange the next E Pontoon outing.

What a Weekend - Part 1

Well what a weekend that turned out to be!

It started off well.

Heading out onto the Trent.

A lovely run down river. Cob webs fully blown away.

A walk to the Haxy Gate for a dinnertime pint.

Says it all really

In the Waterside where we had a lovely curry.

A good time had by all.

Day Three

So today is another unexpected surprise. Day Three of our weekend. We missed the last locking off the Trent yesterday due to the lockie clocking off early so have had to take an extra day off work.

Today we will hopefully get both boats back to the marina safely.
