Pendeford to Wightwick

Turned up on to the Shroppie for water, and then reversed back through the lock.

Dave at Oxley Marine put in two new machine screws for the back door lock (£12). Orph said I could ring him any time just before we wanted the 1000 hour service done, to arrange a day, and they would do it while we waited.

Came down to Wightwick in hot, fairly humid conditions and tied up just past the 48 hour moorings, to avoid being under a tree. SG read 100% when we turned off the engine. Engine time was considerably more than moving time, by the time we'd done the water, the door and waiting at the locks.

6.7 miles, 5 locks, 4.5 engine hours
