Made it to the crossing point, tomorrow I've got 3 very low bridges and a 4.5 mile water crossing.

The cool thing about where I am is that I got a lot of research and old artifacts in a box with the boat. One of those artifacts is from the late 1930s when the boat stopped here and they gave a receipt for payment which I now have. It's changed a lot, but we're back.

Taken at 9:15pm under a full moon. The stuff phones can do today 🤯

And this is an older pixel and I own a very nice canon

Here is the 98 year old boat in absolute darkness. The stuff phones can do today is amazing.

On a boat that is 98 years old, partly run by oil lamps, currently full of stuff cause I need to move it's morning, but it's the absolute dream

A cool thing about this boat is that it's nearly 100 years old and comes with one of it's old log books. These 2 consecutive pages stood out to me...

Literally like nothing happened, except one was 1939 the next was 1946. A whole world war happened between these pages and you'd never know...

Okay so it is technically a downsize (once I offload 2 other boats), but I have bought a boat that is 97 years old!.... 😬

I love the British summer time.

20 mile bike ride earlier, now out in the countryside for a long walk, soaking up the sunlight.

So good for the old noggin.

Not often I get to see my boat from not on my boat and what a backdrop thanks to the marina staff!
