26th October, 2011
A lazy day that started with torrential
rain that looked to be set in for the day. The Kingsground team was supposed to
come down today to do the first service and to bring the missing items such as
the mirrors, vent surrounds and shower door. However, when Robin phoned Tiffany
on Tuesday evening she said that they couldn’t make it.
Wrote up the skeleton of this log on the
laptop.
Sailed to St. Catherine’s lock when the sun
came out in the afternoon. Winded there and came back to the water meadow
moorings facing into town ready for tomorrow morning. As we were mooring the rain
returned with a strong wind that blew MM away from the bank. With her high
straight sides and small draught she is easily taken by a strong wind and
difficult to hold! One of the rowing coaches from the Guildford Rowing Club
just along the river was passing and helped us get her back to the bank and
moored her successfully.
Walked into Guildford
to do some shopping at M&S. The rain returned again as we were returning so
we took refuge until it eased off a bit.
2 miles and 0 locks – 3.0 hours (2.0 to charge
the batteries and run the washer/dryer).
Total 126 miles and 65 locks – 65.8 hours
