A cold,very foggy morning. Surprise,surprise we awoke to a freezing boat but high battery readings,which meant we could switch the central heating on without the assistance of the engine or go outside. Apart from the extremely long cruise and switching the inverter off overnight we have no idea why, but we'll carry on experimenting

We set off in the thick fog with external lights blazing until the sun burnt it's way through and the day became very summerish. We spent the afternoon rising 80 feet through Atherstone locks,11 in all, in searing heat until we moored for tea somewhere near Hartshill where Lynne gave me my first home-made haircut with some electric trimmers Katie very kindly gave me just before this latest adventure started. It was certainly a cut above the rest and a great success, boosting Lynne's confidence no end. Is there any end to her talents?
