Boy did it rain last night, about 8mm in a series of very heavy showers. We heard a noise about 7 AM an looking out saw a bunch of canoes, no idea where they came from that time of the day. We pushed off about 10 AM. Bob the Dutton lock keeper had given me his phone number so I rang him from near the viaduct to tell him we were on our way.
Good news he had a boat in the lock coming down and he should be exiting just as we arrived. It worked well with no waiting. Locked up and we were off again to moor at Acton Bridge. We are not in the best of spots as there is another boat almost dead centre of the straight quay heading. The reason of mooring here was that Nigel Hamilton from Thorne Marine was coming to do our BSS inspection. Thankfully we passed so are good for another 4 years
