Aqueduct marina to Middlewich

Following phone calls, Kings Lock Chandlery seemed a much better bet for engine and Webasto service, so we booked in for tomorrow and went back to Middlewich. Tied up above Wardle lock, just through the next bridge. Washing went out on the drier on the BrollyMate. Tight fit.

Steve from Evesham marina sent through the details of the Sterling AB12210 device. I asked for a price for fitting, and details of where they could do it. No response yet.

Went to the White Bear to download yesterday's episode of "By Any Means". Their wifi seemed pretty good, and the BBC seem to have done something at last with the Desktop application for downloading and playing iPlayer stuff. No longer the old application and the new one said nothing about needing Adobe Air. We shall see.

Also did some database work in The White Bear. We're getting through the Three allowance quickly this month – possible the MacBook did an automatic download of the OS update.

6.5 miles, 1 lock,  3.5 hours engine
