We took advantage of one dry spell to improve the way we’d moored. We had tied on rings that were pretty square to the bow and stern and as a result were moving back and forth quite a bit when boats passed, even those who were moving slowly. Combined with a sloping washwall, this was decidedly uncomfortable. We’ve now put a pin in a bit ahead of the bow, pulled the boat forward to tie the bow line to it and then used one of the centrelines to spring back onto the ring.
Things are now much more stable.
Apart from that, it’s been a day for largely lurking inside. We have cleaned and rewaxed the study bedroom floor. We managed to get down to the Co-op this afternoon to get some fruit, veg and a couple of bottles of wine to keep the stock going until we can get an Ocado order in when we get to Poynton. We’ll probably go down again tomorrow for some more bits and bobs. It’s a pleasant stroll down the wooded slope to the road but quite a pull back up hill when returning with full daysacks.
Typical Macc, in fact.
