A visit from coal boat Bletchley

After I'd cleaned all the water and crap out of our diesel tank, it was time to re-fill the tank, but Clive has stopped selling diesel, so Alan at A.N.A. fuels came to the rescue with his Big Woolwich narrowboat 'Bletchley'.

Alan steers Bletchley into Blackthorne Lake Marina.
Reversing in to the neighbouring pontoon.
Honey I shrunk the marina manager! Barry, looking shorter than normal at this angle.

Alan sells coal, gas, loo blue, eggs etc.

Bletchley gets herself stuck fast!
Kurt of the Rinstead Chapter of ' Hell's Dingies' comes to the rescue, and no, he's not towing him off! Perhaps he thinks he can get salvage rights and use it as a butty!
Winching her off the bank
Brummie John lends a hand. Free at last!
