Tuesday,
Gorgeous day and on to St Ives. Pretty town, stopped for a bit of shopping, and as we had to reverse into the EA moorings, there were a few white boat folks looking very nervous. They needn’t have been, as Mick is good at handling his boat. But one of them did not have a sence of humour, good coming from people who had 3 little birds in a cage on their boat.
Onto to Houghton mooring which is a GOBA mooring, there’s loads of room for everyone here, and its such a great place, and comes complete with a very small herd of cows that turn up evenings and mornings.
Mick did some fishing, but the maggots that James gave him have now turned to chrysalids, the bread won’t stick together, so we hiked 2 miles back to St Ives to try and track down a bait shop. It closed some time ago. HOWEVER, tomorrow onto to Godmanchester , where there Are some maggots to be had. Then we may even come back here. We are hanging about until Sunday, when “the gang” will be visiting, and with our boat and theirs, we are off for a cruise and picnic.
Finlay likes it here, as he can get into the water on the slipway, but then the towrag doesn’t want to come out. !
There was a storm and loads of rain last night, and it looks like the same is going to happen tonight.
The big boat near to us, had his rope untied by some naughty boys last night, but the old boy on board happen to hear them and got up to investigate, to see them running off.
Phew its warm, but becoming a tad cooler tomorrow and loads of rain. Well, plants and boat need re-freshing, to say n othing of us. !!!
