Back through Crick Tunnel and we almost got through without meeting another boat. However, just as we were about to exit into the daylight, an oncoming boat decided to enter. If he'd waited a couple of minutes we wouldn't have had to crawl past each other and he wouldn't have crunched into the tunnel wall. Hey ho!
The building straight ahead used to be a lovely café but it has now become the base for Smithwood Narrowboats. It's good to see the site being used and not left to fall into disrepair.
Doesn't Crick Marina look good on a sunny day.
A little further along the canal there was a fox having a drink from the side. By the time we got the phone out for a picture it had run off along the edge of the field. Again it came down to the water's edge but again we couldn't get a shot.
You can't see them too well but there was a mass of peggles (cowslips) on the towpath. We're growing them at home but they are taking time to get established.
Well we motored for about four hours today which gave the boat a good run. Back to the marina tomorrow to see if they can sort out the problems with the shower.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Moored in the same place as we did on our first night out. Still windy and still sunny.
