Jannock has 3 days cruising to get back to her own mooring and as we have utilised all of our cat-feeding resources, we have decided to complete these as individual days out.
It was a cold start on Wednesday, at least much colder than weve been used to whilst weve been away, and so we arrived at Cosgrove and opened up a very chilly boat. All was shipshape aboard with no unexpected surprises and so we were soon off heading south through the MK level. Very little traffic coming the other way, we only met 3 other boats moving. As we approached Great Linford we found a diesel boat selling coal and gas to the moored boats just before the bridge so we pulled over and took on diesel at 55ppl. I managed to round it up to £100 by putting 20 litres into a jerry can for topping up when we get back Ouch! More evidence of the rising costs of boating. As we passed Willowbridge Marine, which is usually the cheapest diesel in this area, I was pleased to see they were the same price as the diesel boat had been. During the last hour travelling, the sun was becoming very low in the sky and steering was becoming difficult and so we stopped at Stoke Hammond. Returned home via IKEA in MK, a small penance to pay for a great day boating. Graham www.jannock.org.uk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
