Friday 10th July
Got up and walked back to boatyard. They did not have a throttle cable but suggested Midlands Chandlery in Braunston might. A lady called Helen who lives on Pipistrelle offered Joan a lift to Wigram’s Turn to pick up the car. Really kind, however loads of boat people are.
So tracked down part, and Kevin fitted it. His idea of bringing old clothes just in case something went wrong proved he knows that us and boats means problems. Had a quiet lunch on the boat before heading down the locks to Leamington and then Warwick. They are all double locks and very tiresome, but we love it REALLY.
Ran out of petrol near Tesco, so stopped to buy more. Squeezed in on the Saltisford Arm and currently having a BBQ. Tomorrow is the killer Hatton Flight. 21 double locks that took five hours last year without a break. Methinks a hefty breakfast may be in order.
