Thand the good and the bad of boating

Well another day cruising the canal we stopped at Anglo Welsh at Gt. Haywood for diesel gas and coal .The bad news is the domestic alternator had stopped charging and a quick check with the meter proved it was the alternator and not a fault in the wiring so i have connected the domestic batteries to the other alternator so that we can get back to our mooring.Next job take the alternator off and get C.J.F at Hednesford to fix it.

Hurleston Junction to Handsacre

Just a short cruise in the sunshine maybe the summer has returned we hope . This picture is a view of the winding hole at Hansdacre but we will not turn but moor up for the rest of the day.

I must say Hi to the couple on Nutcracker from Wrenbury Mill and thanks for your comments on my blog maybe we will meet again someware someday .

CRUISING AGAIN TOWARDS FRADLEY

At last we have left the Fazeley area and are heading towards Fradley .The first leg was to Hurleston junction but thats as far as we will go today as the rain and cold got to us .We hope to continue tomorrow if we are not stuck in the ice.

It seems a long time since we last cruised well we did spend 4 weeks at Fazeley so now onwards to our mooring at Otherton Boat Haven .

Fazeley B.w.b offices

Yes we are still here but getting ready for the off I hope .I cant wait to get cruising again and return to our mooring at Otherton ready for the winter .All being well we will set off about the 29th of this month and get past the stoppage at Baswich and Radford.

O to be cruising

We are still at Fazeley and wishing we were cruising again but it looks as if we will have to wait another week . Well we will have to get past Baswich Aqueduct before the sixth of November or we will be held up by the closure.

We don't want to spend any more time here or B.W.B will get upset as we have over stayed the 48 hour mooring.

Another day at Fazeley

Well its been a nice sunny day here at Fazeley and the highlight of the day was a trip on foot to Asda for supplies .Tomorrow will be spent putting more paint on the boat before the winter arrives.

Another day at Fazeley

We have spent yet another day at Fazeley and continued with the painting .

I have had a short cruise to Debbies Day Boats to purchase some smokeless fuel just to keep the cats warm .
