River Trent Floods

Moored Newark, River Trent

Well we are still here at Newark with the Trent in flood further upstream. The flood gates have been closed, and crews have been told to stay put for a few days.

BW have been very good, and have allowed us to stay on the pontoon mooring here until Tuesday. I am going down to London on Monday to pick up granddaughter Kiera who is coming to stay for a week.

We have arranged for our Boat Safety Inspection to be done here while we are waiting. Newark is a lovely place, I am so glad that we are 'stuck' here smilie
