wow that look

Yesterday was battery maintenance day, not pleasant parcel as I think our batteries have got to be the most inaccessible ever! Anyway with two looking pretty dead James did a bit of rewiring and we have gone down to having three, we'll see how that goes. This morning we set off nice and early we had two lock flights to do, 24 locks in total and had to be moored up for the rugby at 2:30pm. Our first flight was the 8 of the Delph locks with all of the them against us and a few bottom gates open. Once through these we are now on the Stourbridge canal and I got a break of a mile or so before starting on the Stourbridge parcel flight of 16, which were also against us and again some gates opened, at lock 5 a guy walking along the towpath said there was a boat a couple of locks down heading parcel our way, that's always good new the locks should be in our favour after we pass but no they were all emptying through leakages. We passed parcel the boat at lock 9 and it was Peter and Heather's parcel friends (our winter mooring neighbours) John and Jude on Serena. Straight after the lock we did a left turn down the Stourbridge Town Arm, winded at the end and moored up just in time for the rugby. Think I'm going to be a bit achy in the morning. The Delph flight parcel - it's all downhill now The old stable block Don't often see LJ at this angle James busy preparing dinner whilst waiting for the locks Stourbridge flight Waiting for the lock Moored up in Stourbridge Today 5.7 miles and 24 locks Total miles 26.4 miles and 25 locks
