Who nicked the wood?

Leaving himself to watch the rugby, I set off in search of the Co-op and a hair cut. Having checked with BW for permission to harvest the wood I decided to check on it. Horror of horrors it was gone.

Then I realised somebody had been in to saw it and had put it in a heap by the rear fence. Thank you very much, it was now in manageable pieces ready to load so I abandoned my shopping trip and phoned himself to move the boat up whilst I started lugging it down the bank to waterside.

Daisy took the opportunity to do a bit of her own type of logging.

Having loaded the wood onto the roof I resumed my trip into Saxilby village

The village has a couple of pubs and shops, plus greengrocers, butchers, bakers (no candlestick makers) and a florists. Also a fish and chip shop and Chinese. What more could you want? We haven't done this area justice due to circumstances beyond our control - we shall, however, be back to do it properly another day

On my return we headed off for Torksey Lock.

The tides are getting a bit funny now and are very low so we locked down about 4pm and.struggled to get out of Torksey Lock due to the low tide (and this was high tide!)

I took this from the fore deck looking back into the huge lock - just before we got a little bit stuck

and then back out onto the tidal waters and into a head wind.

Getting a bit cocky now - moored here at Dunham on tidal waters. An early start tomorrow to catch enough water after sunrise.
A narrowboat confused it's left and right and has been stuck on a sand bank just up here for at least 12 hours (that'll be the other left then!!!).
