Only slight drizzle as we walked up to the Old Plough but it was dry and cold when we came out.
As expected our mooring by the bridge was quite noisy with the lorries rattling over the bridge.
This morning was sunny but very cool and we were away a little earlier than usual, first stop was Dunchurch Pools Marina who have the least expensive diesel in the area at £1-01 lt domestic. Another boat entered the marina just ahead of us and pulled up on the far side of the service pontoon, he wanted coal and diesel, so while he loaded his coal I was served with my diesel. Then off back to our marina for a pump our before going all the way round the marina to our berth. This time I winded in the canal and then reversed back to the pumpout station as mu pumpout point is on the port side .
