The current ( excuse the pun ) end of the Ashby is a lift bridge, almost 3 miles from where the "real" end will be when they finish digging it and the whole thing is complete.
Today was brilliantly warm and sunny, so with no locks or other obstructions to worry about, it was a real holiday until this evening when Karen produced a "new" magic formula polish (as in shiny surfacing, not nationality ) she had bought so Steve, Lynne and I polished the shore side of both our boats in next to no time with minimum effort, and very good they look too.
As we are moored near the temporary lift bridge canal ending and a winding hole (boat turning point) we intend turning both boats round and polishing their other sides in the morning before heading back to Nuneaton and the Coventry canal. Similar weather to today's is promised.
We suspect something simple was done to the boat by those twits at Stensen's during the time it was there to improve it's electrical performance, (such as upping the charging rate),but they were too embarrassed to tell us and/or wished to avoid legal action. Too late, Eddie.
At present the battery charge is being retained/replaced much better than over the past two years, plus we have a better understanding of how to maximise it's use .
