After some more shopping and filling with water, we headed out of Middlewich again. This, to us, was finally the beginning of our new life and our future adventures.

After all the false starts and hanging around waiting on work that should have either been done before the boat went into the water, or work that we had elected to be done to be comfortable with the boat, we felt now we were off. There is still much work to be done, but it can be done by ourselves, eventually, nothing is now pressing or will prevent us from cruising. We can now put it all behind us and begin to enjoy the boat.

So it was with excitement that we left Middlewich this time.

We had a slow cruise to Marston and moored at the Salt Barge. It was a very hot day again. We mooched around, did a few jobs, readied the anchor in preparation for the River Weaver and both sat on the bank reading while we waited for Martin and Michelle.

They turned up about just after 4pm and we moved on to the mooring closer to Anderton that looks out towards Great Budworth church.

We had a barbeque and a long, drunken night. It was a great laugh and nice to have friends with us.
