Woke to a greyer, slightly damp morning. Jobs - recycling, rubbish, elsan and showers (incredibly hot water!).


Onto the waiting pontoon with a 40ft trad Kingswood descending for their first time. At the bottom, we left the caisson first but let them past as they were heding to Winsford. We got a spot on the pontoon by the cinema in Northwich - handy for the post office (and the Salty Dog pub!).


5 pints later (total not each!) back to the boat for a snooze (Andrew) and shop explore (Alison). Then quiz night with Laura and Megan - mainly out of doors for mobile signal but soon turned video off to help things along. Got the quiz connection at clue 3! And a perfect score as well - Wow!


Then to bed - a quiet mooring spot, lovely - and secured by BW key. Only 24 hours so must move tomorrow.
