onwards and upwards!

Off we all went in a nice convoy after we had all done our ablutions at various points around Braunston.(Betty and Graham had to get a pump out, along with Keith and Anne we needed water.

Oakfield was in front with Tranquillity the filling in the sandwich us bringing up the rear. We passed Harnser going towards Braunston. Our new prop performed very well with Paul commenting on the fact that the tiller was more responsive. We found that 550 to 600 revs suited us just fine, although Paul did give the engine “the gun” for a bit just to see how things went. Of course it was raining but we didn't care as it was nice to be on the move again.  

We are now moored up at Hillmorton above the locks. Once settled it was into Tranquillity for “Tiffin”. We knew Graham had a leak on his calorifier so the boys went to investigate and give their opinions on the best way to solve the problem. It transpired that it was a fitting that was leaking. Things got really serious when a pad and pen was requested to write a list of bits to get. I have suggested that us girls go shopping on the day that this is tackled, think its best we get out of the way. Engine needs its first oil change so this must be tackled while we are here.
