Yesterday afternoon I had a phone call to say that Shadow was likely to be ready within the hour, so we could start our delayed holiday. Hooray! An hour wasn't much notice: we had to return from Chester to where we'd been staying with a friend, load the car, drive to Tattenhall Marina, and unload the car. And then we did a bit of car shuffling, so our friend could come on a short cruise with us to the Shady Oak pub and eat with us before driving home.
But before we untied the boat one of the engineers who had been working on it showed me the old, worn camshaft.

Day 1 of our hols and not the best start.

April 17th
A break in the weather at last and a great morning to set off in MB. Took
far longer to reach our destination though, not because of traffic,...

There's always something isn't there? Boats seem to eat money don't they...sigh!
