CANAL: Coventry Canal
HEADING: To Fradley Junction and the Trent and Mersey
WEATHER: Sun and Showers again
Got the bike out to go get milk. Skies opened up and got soaked in 5 mins flat. The bilges are drier than me. Went for a pint in the The Swan aka The Mucky Duck yesterday evening. Got chatting with the owner of the boat parked downstream from us. He has five, yes FIVE, domestic batteries and this is because the wife likes to use the washing machine, have a shower, curl her hair, watch telly, and use the microwave and brew coffee all at more or less the same time. I told him to get a new wife.
Someone passed us fast and our bow mooring pin pulled out. Thanks buddy, we were leaving anyway, idiot. Now onto the windy and windy route through beautiful countryside up towards the junction with the Tyrant and Mercy aka the Trent and Mersey canal at Fradley. We are bound for Rugeley where we will stop for a break.
