We left the mooring quite early and cruised just 2 miles to Market
Bosworth, entering the marina. We had a job getting the boat moored as the wind
was pushing us directly off the pontoon. The pontoon was made of decking and, it
being wet, was slippery and dangerous, especially when having to pull the boat
in. Thank goodness for the bow thruster.
We filled with fuel and bought 6 bags of coal. The fuel at 0% was 80p
per litre and at 60/40 was £1.27. We took 92.04 litres to fill the tank.
We then moved back onto the mainline canal and went individually into town
for Christmas shopping. My knee had gone on me, it gets worse. We had planned
that I walked up in the evening and got a Chinese, it is a good 15-minute walk
and Brenda had to go.
The Chinese was a rare treat.
Weather: a fine day but windy with strong gusts.
