Antipodean Day

Many of the boats attending the Braunston historical Boat Festival at the weekend have come past us on their way home . Today, however the traffic has been predominently in the opposite direction and amongst them were Kangaroo towing Australia.

That is not particularly noteworthy but what is amazing is the visitor we had this afternoon.

A distant relative who lives in New Zealand and who we last saw out there four years ago was taking a circular walk this afternoon from Flore and recognised Gecko moored near Norton Jct and stopped by.

  We had no idea he was in the UK and he had no idea where we were.

Welcome aboard Norm from New Zealand
