Filled up with diesel – asked Steve about the ratio in the light of what we have been doing and expect to do, and he suggested 40/60. So it was 129.81 litres, @ £133.17.
Got held up by an AW boat at the GH junction, and was embarrassed by the wind when we stopped for lunch at Tixall Wide. After that we were into new territory as we continued down the S & W. Got delayed behind an AW boat going extremely slowly and not letting anyone by. Probably inexperience and possibly something round their propellor.
Tied up around 6 p.m. after Bridge 96, just past the Staffs Boat Club at Wildwood.
6 miles, 1 lock, 1 aqueduct, about 4 hours engine time.
