All packed - car loaded - Penny in the back ( more space than any one !! ) - we picked Zoie up at 10.00 and drove down to Essex with one stop to stretch our legs in three and a half hours - good.
A lovely warm sunny day - we shopped at ASDA in South Woodham Ferrers - 10 minutes from Blazer and arrived at the busy yacht station at about 14.30.
The water taxi ( trot boat ) runs on Saturday and Sunday so no bother getting out to Blazer on her body in the river.
She was in good shape - started OK and I made my way to a recently vacated spot on the inside of the visitors pontoon where the girls where waiting to help moor up - perfect.
We soon had three trolleys full of stuff squared away on board - then a very welcome rhubarb gin and tonic ( or two ) thanks Zoie.
A nice meal in the cockpit of cold roast chicken - salad - and hot Camembert cheese with crusty bread
We finished the day off reading with oil lamps on in the saloon - lovely.
I plan to go down river today - Monday - possibly to Burnham Yacht Harbour.
No photos today - I will try tomorrow - Mike
