Didn't it rain?!

So after a day in the marina, me and my gammy leg finally set sail this morning with Mike doing all the running around (no change there, I hear him mutter!). Of course, as soon as the bow of the boat exited the marina , the rain began. Not just little spit spotty friendly rain, oh no ! Big, fat,soak you to the skin in two minutes rain! But hey, we're out on the boat and heading off towards Stone after a six week enforced no boating hiatus, so who cares? And it didn't stop there. We passed through bands of rain and brief spells of sunshine when we steamed gently. So May is the new April, I have a new knee and we're back in business. Moored up for the night beyond Sandon lock and at the centre of a typhoon. Ok, slight exaggeration, but very windy. Woodburner alight, wine opened and stirfry on the horizon. Woohoo!
