Canal list minigigs are much more select, especially if hosted by Cap'n

I had Kaspersky for the last 3 years, when it was upgraded to the 2009 
version, it slowed the internet to a *crawl*.  So I did not renew it.

Is there one in Northwich ?

Harnser Trip Report

Date -  1 July 09
Day - Wednesday
Start - 1045
End - between 1300 and 1800 hrs

I contacted the Stratford Council about a late entry to the boating/river rally but all moorings are
already booked, however they would be happy for us to moor below the next lock downstream, we will try and
get into Bancroft Basin for the weekend.

This morning it was gone 10 30 when we left our moorings, everyone else had long gone but we did meet several
boats in the right place for once. BW were trying to re-brick the lock by-wash, a somewhat difficult
problem with the amount of water coming down due to the high number of boat movements. Talking to the chaps
on the job it seems that no one told them about the Stratford Festival even though HO have been informed. At
Wootton Wawen we were met by my son and youngest grandson who we took for a ride to the next winding hole and
back, when we returned my daughter in law was there with eldest grandson so we had to repeat the trip with
both boys onboard before eating in the Navigation. We had Lasagna with new potato's and its probably one of
the best pub lasagnas I have had.

We have moored at the end of the Anglo Welch basin on the towing path side for the night and explained to other
interested moorers why we had been going back and forth all afternoon.

Grace's progress

Hi folks, we're back at the marina for a few days, catching up on yet more 'stuff' to do.  Friends from 'back
home' coming to visit on Saturday, so trying to get it to look more finished than it is! :-)

More pics, too.  See http://www.rigdenage.co.uk/grace/first_trips.htm

We probably ought to set up a proper blog somewhere, but there is too much else to think about at the moment!
