Bridge 100 to Bridge 78, Oxford Canal

SOC of 45 at 9 a.m. was really annoying. Are the batteries going? So ran the engine for a couple of hours before setting out.

Pulled in at Braunston Midland Chandlers for a 12 mm mooring line and a bottle of Blue, and bought a bag of Supertherm as well. Hope not to regret not buying kindling.

Rejected the risk of finding that the moorings above the Hillmorton flight were full, and tied up at what WaterwaysRoutes says are the last decent moorings before then, between Bridges 79 and 78.
