Last day aboard of the year

Julian made a delicious cooked breakfast, then we walked round to the pontoon by the boat yard, and moved some boats around on their ropes to make the gap between them large enough for Robinetta. We left Worm behind, and motored the few yards across the canal.

The space on the pontoon was still only just big enough to squeeze Robinetta into, so I pointed the bow in and Julian got off from there with both stern and bow ropes and we eased her into her final berth of the trip. She would be craned out from there and into the yard once her mast was removed, so we spent a good bit of the day preparing her for that; packing the car with sails and ropes. The forecast was for rain and high winds on Sunday night, but the foul weather held off long enough for us to get everything done that we needed to. We even managed a rowing trip south along the canal in Worm before we brought her ashore to tie onto the car roof rack for her trip home.
