Normal service is resumed

I haven't updated the blog for a couple of months due to the return of an ongoing illness. Thankfully, due to support of family and friends, I can put this period behind me an continue to enjoy life afloat.

When I last posted I was heading north aiming to cross the pennines. However, I had to make a U-turn and head back to home waters to see my doctor while I got myself sorted.  I spent the latter part of March making my way back down the canals to Northampton and then along the river Nene to Peterborough where my eldest son lives.  I spend 3 weeks in the area waiting for my medication to kick in.  By mid May I was on the mend and spent a week crossing the middle levels to join the river Gt Ouse at Denver and then made my way to my home port of St Ives.  I've now spent a month in the area catching up with friends and enjoying this lovely stretch of river.
