I was thinking today that though cloudy and wet it seems to have been slightly warmer than usual - without ever looking like giving the heat wave conditions we normally get a few days of. Last time we had a summer like it didn't we get a nice autumn? We live in hopes!

Although I had arranged an overstay with the relevant BW office, today I found myself in the vicinity of the boat with a couple of hours to spare so I decided to move her to another 14 day mooring to give us the time we require to sort things out. As I arrived, the heavens opened and it rained so hard that I had to sit in the car for 20 minutes waiting for it to stop. It lessened a bit and so I let myself into the boat and donned waterproofs ready for the move. Once outside again, the sun came out and I started to get very hot clad in a full waterproof suit. Once the ropes were untied, the heavens opened again and I cruised south for 30 minutes to another 14 day mooring. All the time I was securing Jannock to the piling at her new home it rained and rained so I decided that I would brush down the roof to clean it before locking up. Consequently as I tied the last rope the sun came out and shattered that plan. I secured the boat and as I walked back to find the car the heavens opened and drenched me yet again. Whatever happened to summer? Graham www.jannock. org.uk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
