We left Wigrams early in the morning to be at Calcutt by opening time. Well, it's a long way to go, all of half a mile, but as soon as we were away it started to rain and slowly became heavier as we moored up on the wharf. Not long after the sun came out and I went into Reception to say that TQ had arrived and was ready to have the detent ball and spring replaced in the gearbox. The engineer Dave arrived and said it'll take 10 minutes and went to lift the deck board when his walkie talkie called and someone called him away on another job! For the sake of 10 minutes (it was actually only five) we were left waiting for nearly four hours! Where is the sense in that? I have a little phrase I use... "The Management are always right, even when they know they're wrong".
After we paid up at Calcutt we decided to cruise toward Braunston and wind at the winding hole just short where the private moorings are. We stopped for tea with about two miles to go as it was a lovely evening, and then cruised back to Wigrams much later. We have a BSS examination in the morning. Talking of which... I've sealed the Bubble Stove, and in the morning I have to empty the gas locker of everything but gas.
