Monday 18th July 2016 It is rather nice here so we decided to stay another day.
We walked back into the town as everywhere was open today. We dropped the rubbish off at The Silsden hire boat yard & dropped the laundry in the laundrette & the lovely lady said “no need to wait I’ll text you when its ready” so we went back to the boat & had a nice walk with the dog further along to the farm moorings & back.
We collected the laundry & got some chips then chilled for the rest of the day.
Looking at the temperatures forecast for tomorrow I don’t think we’ll go very far as I can’t deal with excessive heat & Colin has a heart condition & trying to push these heavy swing bridges in 30+ degrees is not a good idea.
Tuesday 19th July 2016 It was hot when we woke up today & as the day moved on it just got hotter & hotter! Inside the boat reached 32c at one point! Wowsa………tooo much heat, wandered to the local garage to get some anti freeze as ours is quite diluted now & talking to another boater yesterday their water pump ceased due to apparently not enough anti freeze in the water to lubricate it, better asfe than sorry.
The heat wasn’t good for us today, so basically we did nothing but sit around, I actually slept a lot so I think although we’ve been out on the cut for 6 weeks now I am only just starting to really unwind & rest.
Tomorrow onwards to Skipton.
