Map Reference SP 72540 87911
Distance travelled 5.6 miles
Again another fairly slow day
covering only a handful of miles but then we did pass through Foxton Locks
which is 10 in immediate succession. All I had to do was steer, Julia did the
hard work of opening and closing the lock gates and paddles. Fortunately the
weather held up (totally different from the forecast!) and she didn’t get wet
at all whilst working the locks.
It seems that the power
consumption problem isn’t just as a result of me leaving a light on since we
again awoke to the ‘low battery’ light on the inverter brightly lit. Have
checked locally and it seems that Debdale Wharf marina seem to have some
expertise in this sort of thing so will travel to there tomorrow to try to
resolve the problem. We will be unable to make it to Leicester before Friday as
the CRT are closing one of the locks between here and Leicester to repair the
gate so we will have an even slower Thursday with only a few miles and a tunnel
under our belt (assuming that we are not tied down at Debdale Wharf for more
than a day.
