We got to Mercia Marina on September 10th to take up our permanent mooring for the first time. The marina is close to Willington, Derbyshire.

We left Two Jays and the marina on October 4th. As in previous years we are spending the winter in Praia da Luz in Portugal. We can still be contacted, see the 'Contact Us' link on the 'Menu Bar' above. We will be returning to Mercia Marina on March 28th. We have not yet decided when we will be setting off on our cruise. Unlike on previous years' when we had a fixed date to leave now that we have a permanent mooring we can suit ourselves.

One of the changes done during our winter break is a complete revision of the map section. Details are shown under the 'What's New' link on the 'Menu Bar' above. This change involves many hundreds of links. If you find any that do not work please let us know.

You may be interested to see our pictures of our more unusual trips we undertook this summer: Liverpool Link, Ribble Link, Black Sluice Navigation, The Boston Haven and our trip on the Witham Drains photos are included within the Fossdyke & Witham cruising pictures.

There is a summary of our summer's cruise.
