Only boat news are my attempts to get a winter cover for the stern, to cover the gaps on the hatch/doors. It's been surprisingly warm so far but the bedroom(at the back) does get rather nippy, and the wind in Clarence Dock is my main enemy. Hopefully this won't be too expensive - we shall see.
Last week we took the train down to London to attend the Annual Fortean Times Unconvention! As usual there was plenty of weirdness and weirdos, and the highlight was probably a lecture about intelligent dogs and horses trained by the Nazis. Very amusing subject and delivered by Jan Bondeson a rather eccentric Scandinavian fellow. I can also recommend the Butcher and Grill deli/restaurant in Battersea - best food I've had in a long time and well worth the cash - Just beware of women drinking espresso martinis. It kind of doubles the bill! I'm also adding this amusing photo of Katy and her sister Jo larking about in our Kazakh style hotel - I'll probably get beaten up!
As the post title suggests we also visited the Regents canal, at least a few hundred yards of it behind Kings Cross - The idea was to call in at the London Canal Museum, but it was shut so no luck there.
We looped round onto the towpath and back to St Pancras.
Private Moorings near Kings Cross
Linear moorings - these boats are looking rather tatty.
And back to Kings Cross for the train home!
