Well before we were up an old engine came chugging slowly passed, thanks for going slow Nick. We set off our normal 10am and headed down Dunchurch Pools Marina to fill up with diesel. It was a tad busy with two boats on the service bay, one waiting under the entrance bridge, us behind him and another coming from the Braunston direction waiting behind us. Eventually it was our turn and we took on 90l of the red stuff. That sorted we made our way back to Barby.
The sheep in the area are already showing brightly coloured bums, I don’t know how long the Tup has been with them but it looks like he has made a good start, we didn’t put the Tup to the Ewes until Guy Fawkes day.
We manage to meet a hire boat in a bridge hole on a bend, luckily they weren't speeding and pulled back se we could pass on the wrong side. Back at our marina we follower the boat who had been ahead of us buying diesel through the marina bridge and we slid into our slot.
The water level in the marina was almost back to normal but I still deployed our wooden fenders to prevent Harnser sliding under the pontoon if the level falls again.
Until the next time.
