Usually I am lucky enough to be a healthy chap only suffering from the usual coughs and colds associated with winter but as the title of this blog entry indicates the 2010/11 winter brought something very different.

South to Stowe Hill

Posted by jelunga in jelunga's Blog, 06 April 2012 · 0 views

Time for bottom blacking. We made an arrangement for Stowe Hill to do our bottom and they have just finished it. So we left dry dock this morning to float for the first time since Monday. Felt really strange living on the boat in dry dock. Rock solid and no rolling as you move about. I felt I was drunk all the time.
We went to the local pub next to Rugby...
