Sunday 4th July 2021
Our 14 days mooring in Nottingham is up and we were not sure whether we could actually get to Jannock today as Brenda’s awaited prescription hadn’t arrived at Thame Boots by close of play Saturday – however she went in at 10am this morning and it was there so we could go boating as planned. Hooray.
We arrived at Jannock via one of the very local supermarkets here to restock the vittles in the galley. Once we had unloaded our things from the car the heavens opened so we busied ourselves putting things away and making the beds etc.
A duck had make a nest on the roof of the boat next door and today must be ‘leaving the nest day’ – Mum went down into the water then then encouraged all 7 babies to make a leap of faith, bouncing off the gunnels, and into the water. They then grouped and swam off out of the marina.
Just after 4pm the rain stopped so Graham started Jannock and made towards the marina entrance, just in time to find a 70ft tug style narrowboat coming in through the entrance. The picture shows the shape of the marina entrance so we held back to allow him in before making our exit stage left towards Beeston.
The plan was to moor up before Beeston lock for the night where it is hoped we’ll get a nice peaceful night. Once the pegs were in and Jannock tied up securely for the night, the heavens opened again with yet another thunderstorm.
