A morning of jobs. We sailed round the bend to Whitchurch Marina and moored up for a very nice chap called Brian to empty and refill both the central heating and engine radiator with new antifreeze mixture. He was very thorough and hopefully we are set for another few years. Brian is on the right and Jason (Manager of the Marina) on the left.
We took the opportunity for me to wash the side of the boat and Graham mopped the roof.
As you can see the weather was lovely but it did cloud over later in the afternoon but luckily no rain. We didn't leave until about 2.30 but Grindley Brook, with its 3 staircase locks and 3 individual ones, was not too busy. We came through 4 more locks and 2 lift bridges before mooring at Wrenbury. The photo shows Graham after operating the Wrenbury Lift Bridge.
After about 7 miles of cruising we stopped at 7.15pm. We are testing the system to check that it all works as Jason suggested we call into their other marina here tomorrow if there are any problems. Currently it is like a sauna on the boat so hopefully all is OK!
We are off to sample the food at The Cotton Arms and to cool down!
