Made it into Liverpool





Hi
Ok we have made it into Liverpool, It was a bit hairy at time traveling through the docks in a force wind was a bit well not unsafe but if the wind had gone any higher then they would have had to cancel all passages. We picked up our three passengers at the Stanley locks and teamed up with another boat belonging a very nice couple from the Midlands as we had done it a few times before and they were new to the in and outs of the docks Buggerlugs led the way everything was going great and we were managing the wind until we left Mann island lock and headed into open water going through to Albert Dock were the wind really got a hold of Buggerlugs, turning into the wind she had a list to port that was quite worrying however she responded to good burst of power and came around the whole episode only lasted 2 mins and we were soon on an even keel heading into Salthouse dock and our mooring
We are now as snug as a bug in a rug and listening the whole of the docks come alive with all the hundreds of bars and restaurants its a vibrant place at Liverpool 1 and we are moored right in the middle of it
We said good by to our passengers Silvia, Alan, Robyn and Daughter Rowan they had a great time I didn't see the need to tell them that we almost capsized ???? Little Rowan loved playing with the switch's especially the Clackson horn its a bit loud but the general public in Liverpool are use to it.  then Steph and Phil arrived with their Granddaughter Scarlet. so all in all we had quite a busy day

Only one photo I had no time today

God Bless
