Light at the end of the tunnel!
Well, the days are getting longer, it's very nearly not quite dark when I leave work at night, so our thoughts naturally are turning to boating. David and Sarah had to test their new gearbox before March, so despite freezing rain, Sarah's flu and David's bad leg, they decided it needed doing.
Naturally Mr Blue Dragon and I scrounged a lift, and Mark and Cormack turned up just in time too, so we all went for a jaunt. Up to Bait's Bite Lock, down to Bottisham Lock and home to the Club.
Sam, of course, was in his element! He looked out the whole time, regardless of the rain and cold wind, and got very upset when we went right up to Bottisham Lock without going in and stopping - he wanted to jump ship and run around like a mad puppy, like he usually does!
We got back to the Club safely, the boat worked, and the season seems a lot, lot nearer, Huuary!

Cleaning the boat (thanks to Woody's mowing the grass, most of it seems to have landed on the side of the boat) and sorting out the caravan, a fairly peaceful weekend. We had a curry and a drink or three with David and Sarah on Saturday night, nice and snug on their boat. The weather was lovely, although there was a rainless rainbow at one point
You can only just see the rainbow, above the chalet in the middle. I was standing in bright sunshine!
On Saturday afternoon, we welcomed Wkd to her new mooring at the Club - it'll be great to see more of John, Pat, PJ, Connor and, of course, the dogs!

We're hoping for more boating before the depths of winter set in, when David and Sarah's boat gets mended.
The season draws to a close
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and all than that, but sadly it means that the boating season is drawing to a close. The dinghy's taken off, ready to be cleaned and dried
but some things never change, and Sam's still guarding the boats!
