So today is the day that Merlin goes into the boat yard to have an engine rebuild and a few other repairs. She has done well on this trip but it will be nice to get the engine sorted ready for our Autumn adventure which is probably down the Oxford and then into London.
We sailed the boat over to Calcutt boats which was literally the other side of the canal from Ventnor. Handed over the keys to the boat yard staff.
We walked back to Ventnor along the canal to collect the camper van and start our road trip. First stop Haverfordwest to see family, then Abergavenny for a couple of nights, on to Lydney in Gloucester for 3 nights before heading down to Cardiff to spend the bank holiday with Lisa and Liam. Then off to the New Forest for a few days. I am then spending the weekend with Abi and Debbie and we are off to a ladies day at Fontwell Race course. I will head back to the camper van on the 1st after spending a birthday breakfast with Abi.
