Hi everyone
Well we are nearly at the end of our rivers we only have the trip from Castleford to Leeds to do which is only a days journey. the journey from Selby to Castleford was a real pleasure trip brillient sunshine, calm breezes, and no boats we had the whole of the river to ourselves being so quiet and peaceful I just glided Buggerlugs along she does not need a lot of power just a gentle tickover speed is all she needs
This of course makes ideal conditions for wild life spotting we didnt see anything rare but what we did see was magical. Noreen did manage to see that all illusive King Fisher and a few Oyster catchers, Herons this year are in abundance and its a long time since I have seen so many sand Martins of course the sandy banks of the river Aire make ideal sites for the nesting burrows,
Tomorrow we move the boat into yet another marina this is only so we can collect the car and get ready for going back to Rufford for the funeral on Tues Wed once we have delivered the hire car we will make it into Leeds and fron there we will decide on a new plan of action.
some nice pics of the trip form Selby......

The Alpha and the Omega
The swans are still playing guard
Now swear that one away to Mr Duck
Why can't we be as tolerant with each other
On reflection a nice Picture
This cheeky little bugger started eating my mooring ropes
