Got up, had showers, went to make a cup of tea, no water! The pump wasnt running so it seemed like an electrical fault. I checked things over, there was power to the pump, so it looked like a pump problem. After removing the pump it became clear that the presure switch had gone open
Awoke to a gloriously sunny day, so we had a lazy breakfast then set about various jobs onboard. I cut the perspex for the hatch cover. Then drilled and fitted it with the four bolts to keep it in place. meanwhile Heddi did the brasses. We had lunch sat out on the pontoon in the
Arrived at about 6:30, unpacked, cooked and ate a meal, finished a bottle of wine and went to bed !
Another bright sunny morning. We left just before 9:00 and cruised up to the visitor mooring at Stewponey . After a good healthy fried breakfast we went for a walk up from Stourton junction onto the Stourbridge canal. It looked really odd with no water in it. We were hoping to view the breach ,

We moved down to the moorings by the Commandery. I say ‘we’, but actually the others did all the work as I was down below working on my laptop trying to solve a problem with a customer’s server. The rest of the morning and part of the afternoon was spent wandering round the shops. Then
