This is the scene from the bow this afternoon.
.
.

We had a short cruise down to here from Newark where we are tied to a floating pontoon again.
Crunchie is getting the right hump about this, no nice banks of grass to play on just hard old pontoons.
She goes out, has a look then comes back in and positively throws herself onto the floor with a big thump and sulks.

Ubique is being got ready for this part of the trip as best we can. Nice new oil in the engine and gearbox, water trap drained, filters changed and the stern tube greaser packed with grease.
.
.

We are booked in to leave on the first leg of the journey at seven thirty tomorrow morning. Three to four hours should see us at a place called Torksey where we will over night and pick up our instructions for the following days trip.
