So it was Sunday that we decided to move on after doing all of the domestic stuff (filled with water, dumped the rubbish,etc). It was a bit of a late start as the water point wasn’t that quick and we have come across quite a few hire boats on the move today, some of whom would appear to be first- timers. There was a bit of shouting taking place when a boat coming the other way bumped a moored boat as he passed it, but looking at it impartially I’d say that the moored boat wasn’t in the cleverest position, on a bend opposite a bush obscuring some of the view. I’d have to say that hire boat could have missed the moored boat, but he was obviously a beginner and some account needs to be given for inexperience. Essentially it was just one of those things and not worth getting as excited about as the moorer did.

We are back moored in the quiet of Whixall Moss which, I seem to recall last time we moored here is about 2 Km from the nearest main road so it should be a quiet night.
