Home Moorings

As we were in Fazeley and supplies were running low ready to go home we had a Chinese takeaway. Another sunny morning and away a little after ten. Met a boat right in the bridge turning into the Coventry canal, luckily I was traveling dead slow.
As we passed the Tamworth Cruising Club they were just getting prepared to lift boats for the winter months. DSCF9765

At Grendon Lock we caught up with a single hander, he had already set the top lock for when he left the bottom so didn’t hold us up. After the locks we met quite a few boats. Just past the Coop stores that use to be a pub the residents who back onto the towpath have decided they don’t like boats mooring there.DSCF9766

They also have notices on there 6 foot high fence. As we swung into the marina the wind picked up, thankfully it died down again as I reversed back down the basin and turned into our slot.
