Buckden Marina
We are stuck in a hot metal tube in blazing sun with no shade to sit out in!
Fortunately there are good dog walks from here, but that is all.
The engineer (Alex) has delivered the bow thruster engine to an expert who is stripping it down. We should know by tomorrow how serious the problem is and how long it will take to repair. In the meantime Alex has agreed to re-fit the bow thruster casing, so we can at least be on the move. He will then come to us, as long as we are no more than an hour away, to re-fit the motor once it has been repaired.
We did have visitors to lighten our day. Sue, Ken and their two grandsons came over. We had lunch in the cafe here, followed by a short walk and then back here for tea and biscuits.

Hope the hot weather is not too taxing for you and the boat is repaired soon.
