Prop trouble!!!

Yesterday afternoon we had a little wonder about, and had a stop at The boat inn and had a good laugh playing skittles, proper old pub game.


The boat inn left on photo


Later in the evening we had a meal at The Navigation.


Today we had a late morning and set of after 10 am, first lock of the day we had to wait a while when some other boats come up the flight. Water saving is always good to do.





After the third lock of the day was done and on my way to the last lock, my engine suddenly stopped??? What did my prop pick up?  My own centre line  had dropped in the lock and the prop did the rest, thank god it was easy fixed. And I had a spare rope so happy days.


 All sorted after few minutes. Rest of rope get used to something else.

After the locks was done, stopped for service, water etc before we carried on in blistering condition.
Proper British weather, strong wind, rain and sun.






Overnight stop at Wolverton where we will pick up a friend of Mari-Elene to morrow morning for a day cruise to Fenny Stratford.


Since yesterday we have done 5 locks and 8 miles

Happy Days!
