The alarm went off at 7am!
We tidied and packed gave the boat a once over even though we were having a valet. Topped up the water tank as Alcedonia pulled up along side. We had the prime spot for pump outs and diesel so got seen to first. Time for chats with other boat owners, discussions of the virtues of having black gunwhales etc. Ken was doing the change overs elsewhere so wasn't on site this morning for us to explain that the bow thruster had mended itself, but been replaced by the heating being defunct! After we'd been filled with diesel the heating was tried again in case it fed from the tank higher than the engine. But still no joy. We really hope it's been fixed as the Tilburys are on this week and if they are anything like my Dad they'll want it cosy on board. Mick paid for diesel, valet and pump out, oh and the 50p handling charge . Handed in our form and we were off in the car for breakfast at Peppers in Sandbach, our little treat at the end of our holiday.
Smart gauge at start of day 72, 0 locks, 0 miles, 0 swing bridges, 132 litres diesel, 50p handling charge, 1 pump- out, 1 stove ready to light, 1 tea, 1 large coffee, 4 tomatoes, 4 rashers of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 slices of black pudding, 4 slices of toast and 167 baked beans.
