Happy Easter to all Very Happy
Not that much boating will get done. High winds, snow, river flooded. Roll on summer.

i am not as brave as you fuzzy!!

we had everything up in the north, rain, snow, sleet, sunshine, all coupled to high winds.

out of bed this morning to a light covering of snow, still a stiff wind and very cold.

if we had been a little closer to the boat we would have given it a go but 250 miles each way we decided to give it a miss

and wait for better times, a perk of retirement.

Not such a good weekend for someone.

Went to Tewks yesterday, river dropped to near normal. But one of the boats on the mooring has sunk. Sad
Not sure why as I checked all the boats last Sunday when the river was rising, this boat appeared to have plenty of slack on the ropes. no less than mine or the others.

The boat next to mine the Gunnel was caught on the top of the pontoon, had to lever that off. (owners away)

Then had the job of cleaning all the mud off the pontoon. Becoming a full time job!!!!

Hope this is the last flood, somehow I don't think so.
