That's it, it's in. The eagle has landed.
The engine is fitted and working, all we need now is the bill.
Hours of extra work by our wonderful engineer also got the bow thruster working.
We took DD2 and DGD for a trip on the boat on Friday, unfortunately one of the swing bridges was out of order so we didn't get as far as we'd hoped but they still had a little trip.
Once they'd gone home we trundle on to the next winding hole and turned the boat around and then found a nice mooring spot.
We met up with the fuel boat and stocked up on coal.
We also met some friends who were traveling in the opposite direction and stopped for a catch up.
On Sunday we went for a two mile walk in the morning and then trundled back to the marina after lunch.
We had lamb chops for lunch, they were so tiny I made some stuffing balls to go with them.

I'm pleased you're all ship shape and Bristol fashion, and ready to rock and roll.
Off you go on your adventures then...do remember us won't you Hester!! x
The world's your lobster - or at least a lot of the UK! Very envious.
Sounds like a busy day. Now the adventure starts. Happy boating!
Did you opt in the end for the V12 turbocharged engine? Some of the currents on these canals can be fairly fierce... ;-)
