Since I’ve just been turning around in the boat, my last 3 stops retraced back. That means on the last 3 journeys, I moved from Pig Place to Aynho, then back to Pig Place again.
CRT Warning
CRT sent me a warning email about not moving the boat far enough.
As a continuos cruiser, you have to move 21 miles or more direction wise in any year of your boats operation. This counts as the licencing period, which may run from June to June, for example…
Once you reach the June, the annual period re-sets. My licence came due whilst I was at Pig Place and when I had turned around and came back, it was in a new year.

Kerri’s 50th
Kerri, my big sister, has had her 50th in the last few days.

On a Monday, it was a fairly low key affair, and we were all finished up and in bed by 11pm.

Love the photos. Glad you sorted out the overstay business, well done. It must be so lovely being on the water in this weather and the Oxford is so rural. See you very soon. xx
