Boy what a night 10mm rain and sleet with loads of gusty wind. The forecast constantly changing with the latest saying saying things would clear by 11am. At 10-30 it was fine and we set off, again I timed it such we had to wait for a boat coming towards us.It actually felt much warmer today and we even saw a few boats on the move. The snowdrops and tulips look a bit behind along here but this catkin tree was well out.
As expected, with all the rain we have had lately the canal is right on weir, even so it was the normal slow going after the Stoke Golding moorings even with the good level, but in other places we managed 4MPH with no wash.
We decided to moor before reaching Bosworth Wharf as since the marina opened and with two waterpoints moorings are a bit limited, so we stopped between bridges 36 and 37.
