Time in Stone

Morning exploring and shopping in Stone. Late lunch. Up one lock to water point. Long hose was leaking all over, so bought a new hose at the chandlers, plus an extra windlass and BW key.

Matt rang about database stuff, so I did some work. Then up the final lock and moored just before the winding hole on the northern limits of Stone. With the weather unpredictable, this postponed till the morning the decision whether to carry on or turn round.

1 mile, 2 locks, about 1 hour of engine.
