Slowly back up river

29th June

Our sleep last night was a bit disturbed by the crew of the boat on the next pontoon, who started having a full volume domestic at half three in the morning, but even that didn't really stop us from getting some quality kip.

After a good trip to Asda, we set off up river for the short run to Anton's Gowt. On arrival, the downstream pontoon was still full, mainly with Doorengone (still), with Canny Annie hanging off the end. The upstream pontoon was empty, though, so we've tied here for the night.

It's very hot again, and we had a brief walk beside one of the Navigable Drains, but to be honest it wasn't very thrilling.

The other events of the day: a stroppy email to Birmingham Midshires about the fact that after three weeks they've still not resurrected my savings account, and we've put together another section of the quiz for the Braidbar Owners' Weekend in September.

We may well stay here tomorrow, as this is a 48 hour mooring, and we are a day ahead of ourselves.
