Woke to a lovely sunny morning, not a cloud in the sky, very little wind and a frost. around 10 am Neil and Linda came by and gave us a wave, we shall see them later.
We set off about half ten and have seen a lot more boats on the move. Most of the time the sun was right into my eyes so only a couple of photos today. At Brookhay bridge the sign for the up coming moorings is more to my liking than the other end. Please goes a long way in my book.
Not only were there more boats on the move but there was also a lot of walkers. We passed a boat we have seen many times before with some kind of attachment on its chimney, the owner told me this is the Mk6 and he gets 20 watts of power from his chimney, probably quite helpful this time of the year. It works on the same principal as the stove fans you can buy but many times bigger
We have had a slight problem with both leaves and the silt of many of the bridge holes on section of canal, when they dredged the reeds they didn’t dredge the bed. WE passed a couple of boats we know, but no sign of life maybe taking a Boxing Day walk.
We have moored for the night opposite The Red Lion at Hopwas where we will be having dinner tonight, I hope. Directly in front of us is Nb Ernest who will be joining us.
