Hooray the sun is shining and we have decided to take a trip to Gayton Junction and back for the weekend.

This is my first time cruising the boat since breaking my wrist as it has been left to Hilary and others.

We have had a bad day today, Hilary put on the washing machine and damaged the domestic alternator.

Then this afternoon as she stepped off the boat she slipped and fell into the canal.

On Thursday we caught up with Al and Del from Derwent 6 at the New Inn.

On Monday of this week we also managed to catch up with Penny and Mic from our sister boat Intrepid.

Since we have been moored at Weedon we have found a few walks where Cassie can play ball.
After playing ball she enjoys a walk in the stream.

Today would have been Mum's birthday and The Maisibert is also three years old .

BW are still working on the locks from Whilton to Buckby Top lock.
