Friday's Cruise

Done the tidal Trent Keadby to Torksey, rather boring actually apart from the spray coming over the bow and hitting us in the face.

Now on the Fossdyke canal(which was kindly built for us by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago) and moored for the weekend at Saxilby,

Ken caught a fish, fish ok, Ken traumatised and gave up fishing!

Lynda operating a lift bridge. What power I have, stopping the traffic, almost as much as a car park attendant with a limp!
