Boating again

Friday 2 March

Spent the morning watering, talking to Luisa Bryceland and Ian Grindrod about ways of installing an electric pump out facility, and then pulling out of the yard to get a pump out.

Having done this, winded at the end of the moorings ( a bit tricky in a gusty wind) and then went just a short way towards Bollington before stopping for lunch, it then being about 12.45. We did some internet research on the electric pump out question, without really finding any firm answers, and then boated on to Bollington aqueduct for the night.

The new connector for our Nokia 6234 to the aerial seems to work OK - it's attached by a piece of Velcro to the back of the phone over the internal aerial, so it doesn't feel as secure as the plug in ones. We shall have to see how it performs over time, I guess.

Tomorrow it's on to Macclesfield for the Save Our Waterways protest against funding cuts for British Waterways.
