Rocking horse manure

There are few things quite as rare as rocking horse manure - safe, secure places to moor a 68 foot long narrow boat and live on it are definitely in that category. In fact, anywhere near Reading there is only one suitable marina and they're well known for being somewhat busy.

I've been resigned to the idea of chugging up and down the Thames finding a different place to moor every few days until a vacancy came up. Yesterday I phoned the marina and... YES they do have a long enough vacancy at the moment! "Put my name on it please" I said.



So, another piece of the jigsaw slots into place, Relativity has a place she can call home - that is, of course, if everything goes ok with the purchase at the weekend, the repairs over the next couple of weeks and the mammoth journey South after that.
