Engine hours start: 409.3 end: 414.9 = 5.6 hour
Miles:10 Locks:6 Lock miles: 16
Another fairly prompt start at 09:40. Heading for spot between Bunbury and Calveley that we had previously identified as a good spot for painting (which Andrew ended up not using for the main roof job...).
Trouble-free cruise with usual tickover past Golden Nook. Paired up with another boat through the various locks.
Moored up around 15:15 at the target spot. Applied second coat of gloss to handrails.
Walked into Bunbury to the Dysart Arms for a very nice dinner and beer.
After dinner, we started off towards the Coop in the village where we were planning to stock up with food etc for the IWA Lock Wind weekend at Hurleston Junction. However seeing how tricky it was likely to be to negotiate the narrow roads with no footpath with a load of shopping, we changed out plans. New plan is to return to our moorings at Nantwich Basin. There we can empty the rubbish and use the car for a supermarket trip before returning to Hurleston.
