Last night, we watched the first episode of "The Prisoner." For those too young to remember, the prisoner (known just as number 6) is trapped in "the village" and whatever he does to escape, by the end of the episode he is always back in the village.
Today we knew how that felt. We seem to be cruising the same few miles and ending up back where we have been before. We appear to be unable to escape from the Loughborough triangle. Our escape has mostly been prevented by bad weather, but today, a break in the snow was not enough, as we were stopped, barely an hour unto our journey by a flooded River Soar. We have seen no other boats out at all this weekend and this makes.our endeavour seem even more ridiculous.
So we are back in Loughborough basin, the only boat moored, and a bit fed up, wondering what will happen next. Leigh phoned from Antigua as we were wrestling with a frozen lock which we had already passed through once going the other way. He said that the Caribbean is too hot...
