Dribs and drabs and everything has come to a halt...

From a position of 'some progress', everything comes to a screaching  halt with the recent pandemic news..

UK is no different to many other countries round the world but with the announcements by the Prime Minister yesteray evening (23rd), the UK went into a lock down.

With no unnecessary travel or movement encouraged, and people told to stay at home wherever possible, it really was no surprise that the lift in was postponed indefinitely, but it still kind of makes it all a bit 'real'...  there's some frightening stuff going on...

Good news is that (unlike some club members.. 😔) I hadn't yet put brush to boat to do the anti foul - the plan was to go down and do it this Friday, so kudos to the club for cancelling as quickly as they did - that's an average saving of fifty to sixty quid a boat...

So what next??  Nothing....  I can't go to the boat, I can't travel, just need to wait for this period to be over, and then we'll revisit... I have some bits of bodging I can get on with ready for the day when we're back on the water, but right now it's beer and book time, and hoping this is all over in time for the Jolly Boys cruise...

Shove it COVID...

  1. Yes, things are getting serious everywhere. New Zealand goes into total lock down from midnight today Wednesday 25th. Bad news about not having Sparrow afloat and the Jolly Boys cruise, but beer, beer, beer and a book sounds ok for a while.
