Boats moored for the Crick Show
Today was the first day of the Crick boat show. We headed over the scaffolding bridge built to link the moorings with the show on the other side of the canal. noting that this was the only facility provided for those of us mooring for the show! The show was pretty much the same layout as in previous years, with an array of fabulous new boats and lots of people wearing weird clothes and silly hats! We talked to people about all sorts of fascinating things including - led lights, alternators, engines, umbrella holders and cakes. Angela invested in a beautiful vintage alloy windlass, and I bought a small switch to turn of the red indicator lights on our electrical panel, which light up the bedroom like something you might see in Amsterdam - allegedly! We ate fish and chips while watching various dance troups perform on the stage in the food court. Recharged with saturated fat, we looked at a number of shiny new boats and some second hand ones in the adjoining marina - just need that lottery win to be able to do anything more than look.....
