Marina Fever

Why is it that when you think things are perfect, the perfection only lasts a very short time and then you are wanting something else? Or perhaps I should say I rather than you - is it just me? I have my wonderful life afloat, I have Bonny and I'm well on my way to managing to live within my means, but now I yearn to be out on the canal!
I have not been out for nearly a month - the longest since I got the boat. August isn't a particularly good month for cruising anyway as the world and his wife are out there at present which makes finding moorings, queuing for locks and avoiding wildly controlled hire boats that much more challenging.
But life has a whole different flavour when I'm out on the cut. I feel free, relaxed and fulfilled. I also can't wait to introduce Bonny to the pleasures of the canal, although I need to address some safety issues first.
I would like to become the sort of person who is content with what they have, where they are and who they are, but, so far in my life, I have always been driven to look for more, have more, be more. If anybody out there knows the secret of being content, then do share it with us all!
