A hot, mostly sunny day; cool breeze on the water. Andrew to hardware shop for supplies to mend the shower where tiles have popped away from the wall - which renders it unusable… Alison to shops for more milk and muffins etc plus a couple of charity shop books.
Lunch promptly at 12:00 then off, thinking to get to Anderton despite the fishing event happening there today. However a mile or so short, we happened upon a quiet and shady spot and called it a day.
Turned out we had moored up next to the boat that we had shared Big Lock with: a professional boat mover - he is nursing a boat with multiple mechnical problems and had come to a halt again - eventual destination is Yorkshire!
Supplemental log: Went for a walk vi the boat lift and saw lots of space near the services. So back to the boat and moved up as the sun set - mooring opposite Andeerton Marina just after 21:00.
