It should certainly be possible to upgrade the E220's firmware - though only from a Windows 
machine, so I need to get round to connecting it to Anna's work laptop. I did try using the 
Vodafone Mobile Connect software in preference to the Huawei one, but it (perhaps 
unsurprisingly) complains that I've got a 3 SIM, not a Vodafone one...

One thing that I've found can help a little is sending an obscure AT command to the modem 
to tell it "use 3G only, don't drop down into 2.5G". But in general it drops connections 
frustratingly often given that the cell tower is only half a mile away from our mooring...

There are no strangers on the cut, only boaters we've yet to meet.

We are. Well, actually we are moored in Chester on our way back from 
Ellesmere Port.

Pleasant moorings in Chester, just before the winding 'ole after bridge 
123e. The Frog and Nightingale pub gets a bit noisy in the evening but not 
too bad.

On our way up here we had lots of advice from boaters about not going into 
Chester and mooring. So far we have had no trouble at all but we were 
advised to give Tower wharf a miss on Friday to Sunday evenings as it gets a 
bit noisy, Telford's Warehouse holds "raves" apparently. That made sense so 
we stopped right by the town centre.

Have spent a couple of quiet nights at Tower Wharf, very quiet and 
pleasant but not weekend as I recall.
