| Luke at the tiller |
The day started with heavy rain but fortunately brightened in time for our journey from Atherstone to Hawkesbury Junction in Coventry. We were accompanied by friends Tony and Jan and their 4 year old grandson, Luke, who seemed to thoroughly enjoy his first boat trip.
Peter joined us for a cuppa the following day, and then on Sunday Roger did a basic engine service! Oil change as well as oil, air and fuel filters change. Unfortunately air got into the fuel system and we couldn't start the engine, until help arrived in the form of Andy and Barb from the next boat. a thankyou drink in the Greyhound was obviously essential!
