Tuesday 29th April.
Our alarm call came at 5.50am when it sounded as if a large diesel engined something was trying to get into our boat. Sitting up and looking out of the window I saw heading downriver Humber Princess, a large vessel that looked to be about 200 feet 2 inches long and about 20 feet 4 inches beam. (OK – details by courtesy of Jim Shead and his excellent site). The kettle was eventually pressed into service and a brew for consumption in bed ensued.
No boating today, the Ibuprofen that I had taken yesterday had almost done the trick for my back, a day of rest and more tablets should ensure success. The market proper was open today, and having seen the fish section, fish pie for dinner tonight after Myra saw some interesting looking scraps. We plan to move off tomorrow afternoon to Sprotborough.
