Drought


We had a cruise for a couple of weeks, which terminated at Wheaton Aston before returning to the marina. only 36miles along the cut. Only took three photos and here they are.





 

That was back in July, in August the drought came along, and the shortage of water for all  resulted in closures of locks or threatened closures close to the marina. Nevertheless, we have gotten out of the marina as often as we liked for a few days at a time to cruise 2 miles down to Burston or Tixall Wide.

Next week Sue and I will be on a 777 heading for a beach in Indian Rocks Florida with friends Glyn & Christine.
