Couldn't resist putting this up today (albeit out of sync) spotted on the wall of bridge 103 on the run into Braunston.
Decided to have a go at blogging off line and then transferring it as Blogger actually ate the whole of Beefur's blog spots yesterday - not just a post - so it seemed like a good idea. Quite straight forward, even to a techno-phobe like me.
Beautiful sunny day with Sue ready to take Beefur down the flight with Matilda Rose tied alongside as a fender – not that she needed fenders.
I make no apologies for publishing, yet another, couple of pics of the dragonfly sculpture
It is so beautiful
So off we go, Sue doing a splendid job with the wallowing pair
The front was steering, but the ass end was wallowing to starboard
We realised why later – we’d emptied the poo tank (sits on the port side) and all the coal was loaded on the starboard side – no wonder we were right hand heavy. No probs for a helms woman of Sue’s calibre though – sorry Sue
An attractive bit of graffiti to finish the flight
We continued onwards through the Cape Locks, Warwick and Leamington before mooring at Radford Semele around 4.30/5ish. All but one lock against us, but tying the boats together left us with crew either side, plus one to set ahead. 2 hours 20 for the Hatton 21 and we didn’t rush it –a beautiful day in the sunshine.
