Plan is to go through the remaining 10 locks today and into the canal basin this evening.
It is very strange going along a canal in a sailing boat, especially when the depth gauge reads less than the draught of the boat I.e. we should be touching the bottom!
Paul had a bit of a midge infestation in his bunk last night and is now watching his skin to assess if they did any damage! I suspect it will get worse as we move further North.
Met a group yesterday sailing round britain in a dinghy(!) in aid of the Ellen Mcarthur trust. Makes our efforts seem weedy in comparison.
Breakfast now, and then off we go.
Looks fantastic. Sorry about the midges though - sounds distinctly unpleasant.
