We were not looking forward to a wet day with a flight of 12 locks in front of us. Turned out cool and passing clouds but no rain. A bonus. Dave and Lynn, boat owners, came to join us for the day. This was a great idea as having rushed through how the boat worked on day one there were a few things that we needed to have a chat about. I also had to find the paint to touch up a scratch down the side. We enjoyed the day with them as we went for a pub lunch at the "Shroppie Fly", voted 3rd best pub on the English canals. Another big bonus was that Dave and Lynn joined us at lock 3 and helped through the last 10. I also had the chance to wind some paddles up and down, open and close a few gates while Dave drove the boat. Normally I sit on the back while Diana does all the work.

Dad, I thought you would have enjoyed watching Diana do all the work? Diana, I hope you sat back and watched dad get his weigh training in.
