Welcome back.

If you’ve read 2019, thank you, you’ll remember the boat overwintered in Stafford Boat Club, but HAD to be out by April 1st, as the space we occupied is normally the home mooring of a club member, who, after an overwinter re-paint somewhere, was returning to take up his space.
This suited us well, as we normally start our cruising then anyway. But we all know what happened to any plans for 2020, Covid-19. Unfortunately the restrictions meant that no one could move on the water from lock-down.
