Another Groundhog Day. 45th of the lock-down.
Boats passing by have been few and far between, but this morning we
had three pass in a few minutes, two passing each other while passing us. No
other traffic for the rest of the day though.
However, by the late afternoon we did ask ourselves if lock-down had
been lifted and we hadn’t heard. Over the day there must have been well in
excess of 50 people pass by. Normally there would be no more than a dozen per
day, mostly locals walking their normal route.
The mushroom vents were given a few more coats of primer undercoat and
one painted black as a trial. Brenda continued with the seat covers and the
port side bow fenders were renewed with a new one made to sit above the
gunwhale.
Brenda walked to the chandlery for some shopping and to pick up our
mail which Susan had kindly agreed to hold for us.
Other than that, we sat on the benches and read before coming onto the
boat. We had lit a fire this evening as the boat is cold in the mornings with
clear skies at night.
We saw the big carp swim past the boat again. There is a wealth of
wild life here. A Chiffchaff serenades us throughout the day and there is a
multitude of other small birds. We hear an owl now in the daytime, obviously
with young to feed. A Buzzard passes low overhead and there is some kind of
squawking coming from within the tress, a young bird no doubt calling for its
parents.
