Stuck again

We tried to move today as it looked as if it had melted a little and two boats had left our mooring and had made their way successfully to Market Bosworth and back. But we were facing the other way and had to go to Sutton Cheney Wharf. We made it about a kilometre, followed by nbDestiny before coming to ignominious end after a very difficult passage. The ice was four inches thick at places so we abandoned the attempt and may try again tomorrow if we can. We are currently moored some distance from the bank as we cannot get closer.

I'm not surprised that Gosty Hill abandoned the attempt. I was just a  little ambitious or possibly, a little stupid.

I'm thinking of investing in an icebreaker. What could reasonably I charge to get you all out?

Happy New Year...

Nothing! You capitalist bar steward. And a happy new year also.

Carl said...

Oh well... if I did have an icebreaker I'd happily release you all for free.

If I had an icebreaker...

Oh! Some people!

Well, you anyway...

I do believe we passed you today coming back from Stratford. Unfortunately there was no time to pop in for a cuppa. Maybe next time...

I don't remember you ever being invited.
