Up and ready for a 9.30 start but when I spoke to the guy on the other boat I discovered that they had been told 11am. At 10.55 we moved round to the top of the locks for 11am. Two men were there to help us down the four Stanley locks. It was cold and raining and a few hailstones too.
Passed through the disused locks to Princes dock were we had to hang around in the wind whilst two boats were coming up in the new lock. After locking down we passed through the tunnel and out in front of the Liver building. Two more short tunnels later we arrived at Mann Island lock. Locked a few inches down into Canning dock then round through Albert Dock and into Salthouse Dock and backed onto our allotted mooring.
Went for lunch in the Baltic Fleet where we had an excellent dark beer at 3.5%. Collected Ian from Lime Street station at 1630 followed by another visit to the Baltic Fleet. This time they had a different dark beer on which tasted very similar but was 5.5%.
Went to MaBos in China town to eat. The food was good but we had to ask for chopsticks and thy did not give us rice bowls. After that we went to the Roscoe Head, The Dispensary, and the Crown.
