Home Moorings Tuesday 18 April 2017

We woke to a cracking morning, how does the weather know when we are going home?

Quite a few boats about, including one just after I pulled the first pin out at 9-30 AM.

We had just set off when this Cormorant popped up with a fish in his beak, he then proceeded to catch 3 more.DSCF7641

The down side of this canal is that it right on the approach flight line for Manchester Airport so from about 6-30 AM until 11 PM there is a plane going over every few minutes, but at least they stop over night.DSCF7643

It was only just under a mile to our mooring and we were there by 10 AM. Its quite surprising the progress they have made at the marina over the last 3 weeks, a new car park has appeared and also electricity bollards down the length of another pontoon.

This trip we have done 152 locks and 170 Miles  in 21 daysmap trip

 

Today's Journeymap 21 0.9 Miles, No Locks in 35 minutes
