The skies were grey first thing this morning, but later it became sunnier, Saturday means bacon sandwich for breakfast day, and that's what we had,we then left our mooring and meandered down the canal. We passed Stretton Wharf and its swing bridge, here they hire boats out to the public (Rose Narrowboats) , we pass open country side and farm land but on one side we are never far from the busy main railway.
At Brinklow marina we stop to have a pump out and to take on more diesel, this marina is in a pretty area and seems quiet friendly , back on the canal we go through 189M Newbold tunnel here at the other side we stop and moor up for the night, as its got two pubs adjacent to the tunnel. "The Boat inn and next door the Barley Mow"
The wet in the title, doesn't mean at that it was raining, but that I fell into the canal, not really fell as slipped. As I was trying to tie the bow mooring rope I slipped and straight into the water up to my knees......what a plonker. Glad nobody was taking a picture at the time, other wise it would of been on " you been framed "
