Ouch!

Blackstone is still at Swanley Bridge Marina, waiting to be finished off. It's nearly done, but there is a problem with the windows that still needs sorting out. The Boat Safety Certificate needed renewing and we got a nasty shock when we got the bill. We knew that the cost of the certificate had gone up on April 1st, but we were not expecting to pay £140 - this was almost twice the cost of the last one - nasty shock for the wallet. Yet another boating cost that has risen well above inflation.
