After a long one yesterday today was a short one. Woke to a lovely sunny morning and set off at 9-30 to Dunchurch Pools Marina to fill with diesel, its probably the best price in the area. Pulled in at 10am and it had turned cool and windy. One boat on the service pontoon getting a pump out so we dropped on the other side and were immediately filled up with 70 lts. of the red stuff.
We left there and made our way back to Barby, on route we noticed that the farmer on the off side has now not only cutback overhanging bushes and put a stock fence along the edge but has also cleaned the ditches out.
As we arrived back at the marina there was a boat coming out and he wanted to turn south, so I passed the entrance and then backed up to go in when he was clear.
That’s all for this trip folks, thanks for reading

Noticed that ditch but also it seemed to be bringing down a lot of silt and depositing into the canal. Seemed even shallower just there.
