Here I am Rune
Distance 10.6 miles
Total 475 Locks 11 Tunnels
Running total mileage 658.7 miles
Another gentle day’s travel, although we have covered over
10 miles which is quite good for us. Stopped off at the chandlers by bridge 45,North
Kilworth Wharf, to get a replacement seal for the weed hatch. Noticed this 2
days ago at Crick when I took off the weed hatch to remove someone’s T-shirt that was wrapped around the propeller,
the seal wasn’t in a good condition and was disintegrating. If it fails
altogether it tends to fill the engine compartment with water so felt it would
be advisable to remedy the problem!
Tomorrow we reach Foxton Locks for the second time in RUNE
and on this occasion I will try to remember that there is a bit of a kink between
the upper 5 locks and the lower 5 locks, last time managed to collide (gently)
with the lock entrance as I hadn’t realised this.
