Yesterday we came out of Shobnall drydock and travelled back to Kings Bromley Marina, as I wrote in a previous blog our outward journey last Thursday was smooth and fairly rapid, however yesterdays trip was just the opposite, lots more boats about.
Company at Alrewas lock.
At Fradley we waited 30 minutes behind an couple in a old Springer boat as they slowly went through Junction lock, first they dropped the end of a rope overboard and spent ages getting it back, then the engine stopped and that required the lifting of the deck to get at the starter switch.
The normal Fradley chaos made worst by people mooring on the lock moorings.
Early start for us tomorrow as I have the get my mother to Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital for 7.15am she's in to have a knee replacement which be done tomorrow, and will then be kept in over the weekend.
