Getting Closer

The date of our upcoming holiday is edging ever closer, we now have just over a week to get ourselves and the boat ready to go.

We are now booked into the lock at Boston and booked onto the moorings at Kings Lynn for a few days, so next on the list is confirming with the lock keeper at Denver Sluice that I have my timings right for our trip up the 100ft drain and onto the Fens. We won't be using the sluice on our inbound leg of the trip but I want the reassurance from local knowledge that I have calculated my tide timings right on these unfamiliar waters.

This coming weekend we have a small list of jobs to do on the boat but nothing that should take too long. The battery charger is off for repair tonight, we may have that back to fit at the weekend if all goes to plan. Other then this we need to fit a new gas pipe for the Boat Safety Test which we will be having done on our way down the Witham and cleaning the dinghy and outboard and giving the boat a good scrub. We will fill up with diesel at Geordies as we are having the safety test carried and once Naughty-Cal has a clean bill of health again we can set off on our next big adventure.
