Engine start 588.8 09:30
Engine stop 593.7 14:45 = 5.25 hours
Miles: 11 Locks: 0 Lock miles: 11 & 4 lift bridges
A false start today when we lost propulsion almost straightaway when moving over to let another boat past. A trip down the weed-hatch revealed - nothing... Whatever it was must have dropped off...
Properly underway again by 10:30 following 2 other boats in a companionable if slow convoy.
Made better progress when they stopped at Bettisfield. Rain failed to stop play and, beyond the Mosses, we caught up with another hire boat - a variety of steerers with a variety of skill levels but all happy and willing. Went through the Hassall's lift bridges in convoy and letting through a 3rd boat coming the other way (after some careful maneuvering round a moored boat with engine failure).
Soon after mooring the rain settled in steadily so we switched on the mifi router and got up to speed with accounts, emails, Facebook etc.
