1 May 2014 Bridge 3 to Grindley Brook Locks, Langollen Canal: Yesterday's just gone!

Yesterday's just gone! Also trying to upload for today.... while in The Dusty Miller for lunch, will see how we go.

B in still in bed, fast asleep at 7.45am!

Departure with Geoff at the tiller. Rained overnight and our worst fears realised when our toilet kept fillingup spontaneously. Clever little men deduced it was a loose wire. Switched the water off overnight. I mightadd one of the downsides is the toilet on boat rules,  the girls find the minimal use of toilet paper a littlechallenging!

Lots of pets aboard live on boats, these are gorgeous and often cats.

Some live aboards very homely.

This is how you pass each other in the galley.

Coompensating for the flow from the bywash as G lines up the entrance for Lock 3 on the Baddiley flight.

Maybe not quite enough.

Beautiful Horse Chestnut about to burst into full flower.

We also went through our first lift bridge. Which another windlass wielder kindly kept open for us aftertheir boat went through. Looking back after the WW has closed the bridge behind us and returns totheir boat.

The next lift bridge, electically operated and masterfully dealt with by G and B. The Dusty Miller pub is on the
left where we stopped for lunch and uploading.

A colorful boat, this time with a low maintenance pet.

After lunch we cruised on up this gorgeous canal, and moored for the night at the Bottom of the Grindley Locks.
