Sunday 20th June 2021
After a busy night of calls, we started Father’s day with a cooked breakfast before moving a couple of hundred metres up the canal to Nottingham Castle marina.
One of the benefits of Brinklow marina being purchased by Castle marinas is that we are entitled to up to twenty nights free stay in other Castle Marina locations per year. Graham has booked Jannock into Nottingham for 14 days to allow us to go home for a while. The marina has it's own colony of geese on the grass outside. The guardians of the goslings bring them around the boats to teach them to beg.
One we’d had a pump-out and moved onto our temporary berth, Graham went off on the Di Blasi to fetch the car from Langley Bridge where it’s been sat since 3rd June.
He was back in just over an hour so we had lunch, packed up, loaded the car and left Jannock in a nice secure environment for a couple of weeks. Just before we left, Graham spotted this Heron walking the pontoon by Jannock’s bow looking for a likely dinner through the slats.
Our timing was spot on because it started to rain again just as we were leaving Nottingham.
