A day which began with a concern
over our power consumption as when we rose this morning the electric inverter
had switched itself off and was displaying a ‘low battery’ light. This was
hopefully caused by my leaving the foredeck light on overnight coupled with
using a computer on the boat batteries last night. I hope that this was the
cause anyway otherwise it might mean that we have some rather dodgy batteries
on the boat.
Didn’t travel as far today as I
would have hoped but this was as a result of a significant thunderstorm at
about 1.15pm for which we moored up for a couple of hours to let it pass.
Unfortunately there is similar weather forecast for tomorrow so we will have to
see how we get on, hoping to get to Market Harborough to moor and get some
shopping in.
The only significant highlight of
today was passing through Husbands Bosworth tunnel during which I felt a bit
like a salmon swimming upstream, no boat travelling in the same direction as us
and three coming from the opposite direction.
The inside of the tunnel wavers about a bit and when passing the
oncoming boats we tended to scrape the side of the tunnel a bit causing a rear
fender rope to break but other than that no great dramas.
