Henry is only 40ft, Wyre Lock is one of those funny diamonds and I thought, sod it, we won't tie up because it's damn awkward and we'll just take it easy on the paddles instead. Cue my bow getting caught in the flow, spinning Henry right round until we were wedged, fender to fender, right across the lock, looking like a bunch of idiots. Big domestic followed as Andy tried to pull the bow the WRONG way (like I want to go out the lock backwards!) and my dignity was most ruffled. Thankfully, although it was a Sunday morning, there were no witnesses...only much later did I discover there's a webcam on site!<br /><br />We live and learn and look foolish occasionally :-)<br /><br />GG<br /><br />P.S. We should be passing Mercia week after next!Dogsontour by Greygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105435771539976876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342298745510831007.post-21556675780838470232015-09-17T18:20:29.224+01:002015-09-17T18:20:29.224+01:00Never mind, eh!
