Just sublime boating

 Not much to blog about other than we set off at 8.30am from just before Tixall lock and ended the day on the visitor moorings above Gailey lock at 4.30pm . We serviced the boat at the Penkridge services that took the best part of an hour we ate lunch while we filled from nearly empty. The two tanks on Percy are linked and take a slow dribble to balance towards the end of the fill. 

Another day of few boats moving, one hire boat misjudged the speed of approach as we were readying to exit Deepmore lock resulting in them across the canal and then having to be pulled in. The lady on the back obviously thought we should have come out of the lock like a greyhound out of the traps .... Percy does not do that. She did not return our good day. 

Tomorrow back onto the Shroppie .... not sure where exactly, I think we will just play it by the day.
