Seven and a half hours

With just seven and a half hours of work left to go, the excitement of going on holiday is starting to kick in. Destination is still unknown but one thing is for sure we WILL have a good time.

Tonight we will arrive at the boat, chuck our gear aboard and set sail into the sunset on the River Witham on our way to Boston’s Grand Sluice, the gateway to the sea.

The weather doesn’t look too promising, but even a few heavy showers and a stiff breeze wont dampened our spirits. Tonight’s destination is where ever we get bored. We intend to get the two locks, Stamp End in Lincoln and Bardney Lock, out of the way tonight so that we have a clear run to Boston in the morning. Hopefully reaching the lock by midday. As of yet we are still unsure as to whether we will have an evening in Boston or head out to test the waters as it were on Saturday afternoon. Either way it should be interesting
.
It may well be a week or so before I get to report back in, internet reception is pretty hit and miss. So have fun, stay safe and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
