We travelled up to the boat from home on Thursday last week (5th) and back home just as the light was fading. The reason was to get an update on a significant piece of work being done on the electrics which was expected to be completed by then - the majority was in place on Tuesday. However, Amazon did not play ball and a few minor items needed to complete the work did not arrive on Wednesday as expected - they did, alas, turn up at his home well after the electrician had set off to Brinklow!
This has been a complex story and we will recount it in full as soon as we are confident that all is now well! It will be a week or so yet as the final items cannot be slotted into his very busy - booked ahead - schedule. So far it is looking good but our usual shakedown cruise will be the 'acid' test. We are now planning a couple of weeks over Easter, perhaps to Coventry and then back to Brinklow before planning our main cruise this Spring - Summer- Autumn. The reservoirs are looking good at this stage so we are hoping that last year's disaster (no cruising since 4th August!) will not be repeated . . .
Just a hint for the curious:
