An explanation on Percy

Well she got a good clean early July. We visited with buckets and sponges and set to giving Percy her much needed wash and brush up. 

It is easier in the marina as we have water on tap ( but we had that at Shebdon) we had a safe place to stand and clean ( but we had that at Shebdon) we didn't have much space to put stuff ( we did have that at Shebdon). We were able to wind Percy to clean the other side despite the wind in the marina - they are wind bowls for sure. ( we didn't have that option at Shebdon although we could push over to the tow path or cruise to Grub Street or Knighton woods to wind)

So not wax polished  yet but washed with a turtle wax wash. July is another busy holiday time for me and Rachel. Sadly Leia is not stable enough to be on the boat anymore and we can't leave her for more than a few hours so that means for now Percy is in the marina prison. I think if we were bank side we could take Leia as she's be easier to get on and off the boat and out for her regular comfort breaks - another downside of marina life.

I'm still trying to convince myself that the marina is better for how we use or don't use the boat now  - but we are on two lists for farmers moorings !
