Snug at last

So here we are in Lyme view marina and very nice it is too.  The owner is pretty relaxed about rules so we can leave shore power connected, put up our washing line and let the dog out without a lead  and not be immediately shouted at.  All things we have experienced elsewhere.  There is a massive field at the back for throwing the dog's ball in. Its quiet with no railways or major roads nearby.  The other locals all seem to gather every evening for a beer or three which is also rather nice.
We've already been co-opted into looking after grandkids although I made the excuse that I needed to take the back of the boat apart this afternoon.  We've had an annoying transmission rattle for ages now and it seemed like a good time to have a go at it.  I now have most of the transmission dismantled so we aren't going anywhere for the moment even if we wanted to.  Probably home at the weekend for lots of writing and maybe some golf.

Things you see on the canals - last chapter:

Is this an Alligator or a Crocodile??

This is a canal that the Canal and River Trust say is maintained to be navigable for two boats.  Think we'll take a hedge trimmer with us in the future.
