Boston to Dogsdyke
Overnight weather was cool and overcast, by early morning the sun had broken through.
Morning: Another two shopping trips were made to stock the ships stores. Water tank filled, rubbish disposed of, dogs walked and the pram cover lowered. It was warming up all the time.
Afternoon: Under-way by 1:15pm and enjoyed a slow steady sun warmed cruise. Passing Antons Gowt, Langrick Bridge, the outrageous priced (£15 a night) moorings at Orchard. Arriving after a 3 hour cruise at Dogsdyke. It can be a bit noisy here with the RAF aircraft on training flights. But if you are lucky you might catch sight of the Spitfire. I managed a photograph when we were heading down river towards Boston.Evening: Early evening meal in 'The Packet Inn' chicken n chips with a side salad. It was a first class meal with the chicken and the chips cooded to perfection. A couple of pints of beer and cider also helped. Then we retired to the boat to watch 'Harry Potter'. Then I spotted the beginnings of what might just be a spectacular sunset as I took the dogs for a walk. I was not to be disappointed!
A Stunning Sunset.
