Crick

As promised the boat inside of us left at 830am leaving us next to the bank so Muffin can come and go as he pleases now. The almost empty gas bottle finally ran out and I went to get an exchange all the way from the marina. Dave arrived with a friend from Nuneaton and we met up in the entertainment tent. I bought a 150w solar panel,  an all black one like the old Siemens ones but bigger and just the right size to fit behind the exhaust. After the show had closed we moved to fill up with water at Crick wharf then carried on to the winding hole to turn around.  We spotted a space marked for a 55ft boat on the way and tried to get into it on the way back but we didn't fit.  So we carried on back to Crick wharf and took up the offer made to us earlier by the guy who has the mooring outside the Moorings restaurant to use his vacant mooring.  This is where we had arranged for the new batteries to be delivered so we didn't need to get up early to move again. After dinner on board we walked into the village for a pint in the Wheatsheaf.
