Canal cruising plans for 2020

We're now into March and thinking of spring and summer after a month of lots of rain and even more wind.

Our plans were to set off about mid April and aim first for the Basingstoke Canal which so far we've not managed to get to the end of with Leo.  This is due to its persistent lack of water in the summer.  I say "our plans were" because that aim may be frustrated by the need to get some outside jobs done on the house all of which need warm and dry weather.  At present we are at the stage of getting estimates and dates for these jobs but it may be that one or more of these jobs might frustrate our plans.  We have to make a decision on this by the end of this month when our present mooring contract ends. 

Assuming we get down the Grand Union and up the Basingstoke we will still be having a rest from boating in early June for a couple of weeks when Helen's brother arrives from overseas to spend some time with us, but not on the boat.

So we'll see what happens but there will be entries on this blog sometime this year, so keep an eye open for this.
