Nostalgia sets in as we motored up the river back to the very spot where it all began. In fact we dropped our anchor just tens of metres from our very first anchor spot! And we can see the boatyard where we boat the boat over a year and a half ago! What a wild journey! Oh and of course our engine failed in the last 30 minutes, time to change the fuel filter and hope that’s all it is 😬 Anchored in 2.1 metres of water, thankful for our lifting keel! 😆
