It was a lovely morning, Diana took a walk to town while I did a couple of jobs around the boat, we finally set off at mid day. Big Lock was with us, it just needed topping up and just as I entered a boat came round the corner behind us so I pulled across in the lock to let her in beside us.
At the Croxton Flash the geese were making use of the submerged bank.
We passed a farmer spreading slurry on the field, he was attached to something by a large umbilical tube that fed the slurry to his tractor while he drove up and down spraying it out.
When we reached out marina the batteries where still not recharged from last night so we carried on through the Tata salt works.
On to Wincham Wharf with all their moored boat and round the bend to the winding hole by another chemical works. As we winded we were treated to a display of aerial acrobatics by this
From here we returned to our marina arriving just as the sun was going down.
