Decided to stay an extra day at Torksey due to poor weather forecast so have travelled on to Saxilby today. Being on the Foss Dyke things are getting a bit straight to say the least, but at least there is reasonable depth of water so progress is better than on some shallow canals, it’s just that when the navigation stretches into the distance in a dead straight line, it seems to take forever to get anywhere.

The current plan is to stay here until Thursday and then try to find a mooring in Lincoln. I popped into Lincoln this afternoon on the bus and there appeared to be spaces on the Visitor Moorings, whether they will still be there on Thursday is a different question.
