First day out

We made it
Yesterday the boat got finished and even though I may sound like a doting granddad she is looking gorgeous.
It was  a fantastic feeling to get back on the water. We actually got away from the boat yard just after lunch and 7 weeks behind schedual, but this is part of boating and it cannot be rushed. We made some great friends in the boatyard and I learnt a lot more about boats.
This morning at 07.30 we set off for our first cruise since late March what a glorious feeling to be back out and what a great day to do it
It was so god that Noreen and I were fighting over the tiller we both needed to regain the experience of gliding along the open water  with nothing to see but what God has given
For the first day and both being a bit rusty and being on a strang water plus Buggerlugs has been very lazy and not worked for three months  we expected a few HIC ups however I am please to say that all went very well.. that well we did 10 hours cruising just enjoying it

Friday we enter the river Trent at Keadle this will be another new water for us the tidal Trent can be a bit dodgy but hey lots of boats do it so why not us.
Keep you all informed about the trent.
God bless
Buggerlugs
