We stocked up with supplies before we left Ardrishaig and found a very nice man in a boatyard who sold us some washers for the engine. At last, no more diesel leaking under the engine!
As it is so hot here, we accepted the offer of the lock keepers to manage the gates (and do all the hard work!) - so we just had to hold the ropes as we went through 4 locks.
We made a pit stop next to a road so that I could get fuel from the petrol station. It did involve a precarious climb down a steep bank but I managed to avoid falling in the stream at the bottom! They were amused that I had a lifejacket on and were also kind enough to ignore the fact that I had not washed since Saturday!
Anyway I did everyone a favour and showered tonight!
Moored up in Cairn Baan and through the rest of the canal tomorrow.
