Not going anywhere!

Steve tends to wildly overestimate his strength and abilities so when planning our first trip out of the marina I suggested a stopping place.

Steve rubbished the idea and insisted we go further. Half way between my suggested mooring spot and the next visitor moorings Steve hits the wall and we have to stop.

Steve assures me we will move on the following day.
Unfortunately as well as exhaustion Steve now has a bad back!

It's now Sunday and we are still here!

The view is beginning to pall and the water levels have altered so much that getting off the boat is really difficult.

On the bright side Steve is now less exhausted and has managed to get a chiropractor appointment for Tuesday. The clinic is on a direct bus route and it's a short walk to the bus stop!

Hopefully we will be on our way on Wednesday.
 
There is now a long line of boats moored along this length of bank all constant cruisers. They have all collected piles of wood and kindling, they have erected an assortment of makeshift washing lines and other items. It looks like the Beverley Hillbillies.

Hope Steve gets relief for his back so you can soon be on your way. Safe travels!

Never a dull moment aboard your boat, Hester! Hope everything works out.

I used to love the Beverley Hillbillies - remember grandma sitting in her rocking chair on top of all the furniture as they 'moved to Beverleee, Hills that is, swimmin, pools, movie stars'.

Do hope Steve's back improves soon but it sounds rather an interesting place to be moored up.

I hope that Steve feels better soon. It sounds like quite a camp. It's a good thing that you stocked up.
