So naturally it doesn't rain when I'm not going anywhere, but it's ok. A walk around Tewkesbury to have a look around and replenish the empty (and less smelly I think!) fridge. Coffee in Costa (no Starbucks to be seen) and a call to the Gloucester pilot about the looming trip down the Severn estuary. Complicated was what he said! So with the BW restricted locking, boats waiting due to recent poor weather and commercial shipping taking priority, we're going to have a go for Friday morning with Saturday and Sunday as back up days. After that I'll have to look at the forecast and decide what to do based upon that. The big question is "Do I feel lucky" where have I heard that before? Unlike me I know, but I'm actually a bit nervous about making this passage.
View from the mooring:
So, to tidy the boat some more pending arrival of assorted moteley crew, repack the self emptying cupboard, make sure everyone advised of plan B, check Tewkesbury marina for pump out opening time tomorrow and check out local indian restaurants for a treat tonight. Oh, it also looks like the DVD player on my telly is no more! Who says I've got it easy? See you tomorrow.
Today: 0 miles - 0 locks - 0 hours
So Far: 99 miles - 122 locks - 59 hours
