What a difference a week makes

Last Monday Olivia was due in to the boatyard to have her bottom blacked and a few other jobs to prepare her for the new season. I went over on the Friday (10th February) to find her well and truly iced in. Luckily, the boat due in before me had not made it and the yard were working on a local job from further down their list. They assured me I hadn't lost my spot and I went home happy. This week the canal has completely thawed and not only that but it was quite a mild day for cruising. The boat was nice and warm when I arrived as I have found the best firelighter in the world - and his name is Rick :-). Although only a mile and a half I really enjoyed my first cruise.

For my last birthday, my family bought me a new camera so I am also hoping that I will be able to put more pictures on the blog in a hope of making it more interesting.

Ta ta for now....
