Day off work in order to get on the boat. We started the day really early in order to get everything organised. The essentials were packed, just needed to pick up mother as she was helping us look after to boat while we were at work.
We drove to the marina, with the car packed full. Just enough room for me and the dogs in the back. When we got to the marina everything seemed to go great, sale completed and keys in hand all we had to do was load up and sail into the sunset - o how wrong could we be!!!!!!!
We moved our essentials out of the car into the boat and problem 1 raised its head. The husband had not loaded our bedding - it was potentially going to be a cold night.
The maintenance men came to the boat to show us the procedure on lighting the diesel stove and cooker, and while they were there, everything went really smooth. We decided to stay the night in the relative safety of the marina and go and get some shopping (basics and a high tog quilt) and a meal. When we got back to the boat, it was dark and the temperature had dropped dramatically (-4). This is when we found that neither the stove or the cooker were working properly. There were no staff around to ask for help and to be honest - we did not have a clue. So, we stayed up as long as we could but it was an early bed just to keep warm.
