We were waiting the arrival of Adrian and Jayne as they travelled up from Coventry. A bright day with clear skys, sun, and best of all, it was warm. We did a bit of maintenance, including a filter change on the fuel system, and cleaning the brown scum line off the waterline. We cleaned the boat through, airing all the lockers, & we also had to rearrange the contents of the boat as over the last two months we had spread our stuff all over the place and now needed to make space for two more people and all their gear!

After some delays on the journey, which included an 80 mile detour for them, they arrived at about 16.45 and we soon had them settled in on the boat. It was great to just relax with a drink in the cockpit with friends. It had been a long day for them, so it was an early night for all after dinner had been eaten. It seems they have bought the sunshine with them.
