Re: Havana now in Ripon

Hi David,

Good to meet up with you!

We are now at Naburn, due to go down to Selby at 6.30 tomorrow morning.

We moored in a different spot in York last night, between Scarborough
and Lendal bridge. ALL the moored boats had chains to shore, a good
thing as one boat was set adrift during the night. York is a lovely
place but it seems to have a big binge drinking issue to sort out.

We're going to stay in Selby for a few days as we are off to view a
couple of rusty humber keels with a view to converting one of them.

Cheers

Simon M
