Indeed - our's certainly doesn't do mornings and so it was me who had to steer for the first section and my phone was inside the boat but I eventually took this: While Dyad has the sausages well under control in the galley: Then - as if by magic the sun started to rise making Walsall look pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire~rose Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 We flew through Birchills and down the Walsall flight while all the scrotes are still asleep On The Walsall Arm we spied Maxwell (no signs of life until we came back 10 minutes later) It's good to see Maxwell sporting the latest H.S.E. approved style of front fender Then Goosander was just coming out of the basin as we arrived - unless he is single handing then his crew were still sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoominPapa Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 If any of the challenge boats returning to Old Turn have some spare automotive-style fuses in their tool-kits, we could use a couple at Challenge HQ on NB Sundance.

john6767 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Just been out for a meal with the crew, now back at the boat. A good challenge, the Walsall canal excelled at being crap, took us 20 mins longer than expected each way, so put us a bit behind last night. Today went well, we rock at locks, and we ended up ahead so added a bit in. All the boats were generating a lot of interest earlier when there were a lot of people about but quiet now. Mission control next door still in lockdown computing the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
