Ran the engine early, as once again the inverter had been left on and SOC was 40%. Tried to fill the water tank before leaving Rugby, but the tap was hopeless. The one at Newbold would have been hard to get on to, and anyway had someone else on it. Eventually got a pump-out (£20) at Brinklow Marina, and filled the water tank as well.
Tied up, as arranged, on the service wharf at Rose Narrowboats, ready for the engine service tomorrow. Jamie appeared, promising that it would be extremely thorough!
