The boat moored in front of us moved off in the morning. We were glad of this as we did not feel comfortable with the couple on board. They were hardly off the boat at all, spending their time inside in all the heat. The dog was only off the boat twice per day for about 30 seconds each time, they were a dirty couple and seemed very untrustworthy.

The bow fenders were fitted to the starboard side, requiring the boat to be turned twice. We are very pleased with the result. Hopefully they will protect the paintwork a bit more and not get fouled in the first lock we come to.

Roger and Helen off Whiskey Mist called. They have been moored above Cholmondeston Lock for 2 months now, but are planning to move tomorrow. Another couple we have become friendly with, they are heading for the Llangollen Canal so maybe we will see them there.

Jacob went back to his mother for the weekend, Danny taking him to Barbridge to be picked up, myself going with him and taking the opportunity to dump rubbish and pick up supplies in Nantwich. The rubbish here is a problem. We cannot use the marina facilities and so, without Danny and Jemima we would have to be going either to Nantwich or Calveley to dispose of it. As it was, the rubbish had been sitting on the roof for almost 2 weeks and was smelling.
