Not hot but steaming

We stayed on our mooring at Crofton all day today and spent three hours or so at the pumping station.  We had super large pasties in their café but they were close to vegetarian versions.  It was a really interesting visit especially for an engineer (retired) and Romy found lots of things to learn.  We were lucky to be here on a weekend when the boilers were fired up and the engines running.  Lots of photo opportunities, only a small selection below!  I also took some video on the GoPro.

It was a good day to sit in  one place as there were a few showers in the morning and again in the evening.

The above picture was taken from between the beams of the engine looking down onto the piston.

In the evening our main entertainment was the Canada Geese who came to sample the drops wrung out of our washing.

We did not tell them we are having duck for dinner.
