Chance’s Maiden Voyage

Well, finally we untied Chance at 8am this morning and travelled north on the River Soar for an hour each way to give Chance her “maiden voyage”  before heading to Crick on Sunday.  The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed the trip very much.

Everything went really well, with Oscar trotting alongside me on the towpath! it was like the two years on dry land had never happened!
