Today’s effort was just a striaghtforward trip down the Wolverhampton 21 flight, which went reasonaly well, started at 9.45am and was done by 1.00pm. Quite busy on the flight as well, it is also quite busy down here on the Staffs & Worcs as well. Fortunately we’ve had no errant warning lights or buzzers today, hopefully we’ve ‘shaken out’ the problems but I wont hold my breath just yet on it. Tomorrow, the weekend shop and then on to Gailey.

Wolverhampton

Here I am Rune

Distance 11.9 miles

Total 4832 Locks  332 Tunnels

Running total mileage 7,189.7.1 miles

 

So, for a variety of reasons this was our first day back on the boat actually cruising for 271 days. The trip was marked by a variety of warning lights and buzzers deciding to sound rangin from the domestic alternator warning light to the oil pressure warning light and buzzer. It seems that it may just have been lack of use causing it so we'll see how things develop over the next few days.
