A slight decrease in the wind made it possible to head for water at Gifford park. Slow going and made it after a couple of hours. Waterpoint was busy, everyone had the same idea, so moored further back and will wait till Sunday morning.
Lots of floatsam from the storm, and it looks like the winds will continue into next week.
Feckin wind!
Moved today, did shopping and headed for New Bradwell. Hopefully a bit of shelter from the storms that have been forcast for later in the week.
Grounded again at Wolverton, and at the shopping mooring, had to use a plank. Never known it to be this shallow. The Grand Union is desperate for dredging, but canal and river trust are only interested in brand promotion and pension pots.
Utterly disastrous for the canals in the present management company. I'm beginning to believe those that say canal and river trust policy is to rid the inland waterways of boats.
Busy at Cosgrove with the winding hole works. Lots of oil in the canal though from their machine leaking.
Looks much better and preserves the bank.
