Hi Everyone
We have come along the Trent and Mersey canal as far as Anderton. We decided to take cover over the Bank Holiday weekend by escaping down onto the river Weaver the river is such a peaceful place ???
However today Maryanne Stev and Pippa arrived, being such a beuatiful day we opted for going down river for a bit of a cruise Pippa is a real water girl and loves to sit on the stern watching the river go by, though we did have a crisis when when the call went out for"" man overboard !!!"" we emediatley put our emergency drill into action and signaled the boat behind us to to take our starboard I reversed to the Port this putting the man overboard between the two boats I was then able to get my landing net and rescue the poor sole that being Pippa's favourite doll Rosie Jim was frantic with worry and much relieved to see Rosie back on boatd even if she was very wet.
We are here untill Tues morning then its fill with water, fuel, do a pump out and set off for manchester that way we hope to arrive by early friday afternoon.
The river is very quiet I dont know if that is because of the restrictions that Peel Holdings have put on traveling on the Bridgwater and boaters will not pay the extra cost. I CONSIDER that 40 pounds for 28 days is not to bad they want to try the great Ouse that cost us an extra 180 pounds for 30 days anyway I for one will not be getting excited over it
God Bless everyone
