Nantwich to Hack Green

Winded the boat before breakfast, to get some charge and hot water, and to be facing the right way to go back and get a pump-out and some solid fuel.

After church put undercoat on the swan-neck. It almost certainly needs another coat. Started out after a late lunch, and went back to Nantwich marina services for the pump-out and a bag of Excel. Managed to wind at the entrance to the marina with Margaret pulling the bows round from the bank. Just room to do it.

Tied up above Bridge 85 at Hack Green. Beautiful, isolated spot. Ran the engine again from 7 – 8 to charge for the night.

5 miles, 2 locks, 5 hours
