Mucky Farters World Cruise. Continued

[hlb]

Left Douglass this Morning, after a battle with the fuel pump. Less you belong to the SAS, don't even attempt it. You get a card and pin no from a mile away, then when you've managed to moor to the bollards, sixty foot up. Then you enter card and pin. You now have 30 seconds to get the pipe down to the boat and fuel going in, else it stops, repete proceedure ad infinitume. Retrive rope from 60 foot up bollard.

Lovely trip over to Fleetwood, past all the oil rigs and wind farms, did'nt manage to hit any of them, but did concider going under an oil rig!!

So then up thye wibbly wobbly way to Glasson Dock. Christ, it was scary. The green buoys were where the red ones are on my Garmin thingy and half the time yer on the green bit, with the chanel 100 yards away.

So up in the basin, tied to the car park, narrow boat in front, with my anchor dangling over him. Apparently the electric cards are in Wigan!!

The good news, we've got free mooring on the council estate, next to the car park, the bad news, we keep getting gawped at by the country walkers. The good news is, were about ten yards from the butty caravan. The good news, we can have electric. The bad news, the keys a £30 taxi ride away. The other bad news is....... The office was shut till Monday.

So everything free, except at least £60 for bleeding taxi's for frigging key.

Ah But!
Is the proximity of the butty wagon any use to you?
Or does this mean the new gnashers are functioning

I,d have given money to watch the Wall Dance in Douglas
Plus a (roll over laughy thing)

If D's got the digital camera handy , you could open MuckyF asa sort of Stately Home, and flog pics of people holding the wheel and looking nortical. Pics at £10 each of course, proceeds to the Hadyn Fund for Dental Research.
