After the fireworks last night the morning was very misty. Pat set off to the prepare Ironbridge for our return and I soon lost sight of her. So waited a while and then dawdled along and got it about right. Even at 8 am there were gongoozlers at this lock. A cruiser coming off the bank above Cassio Lock opened the gate for us, but they were stopping below, so we were on our own again. Below Common Moor Lock we saw a sunken narrowboat, bows near the bank but the stern a couple of yards off and listing badly. The stern was flooded. To our surprise it was the boat we had seen the day before, "Forget Me Not". There was no one about. I wonder what had happened?
We lunched above Widewater and returned to the marina around 3 pm. Our last trip of the year probably. So an oil change, top off the diesel and think about the water system. Now I can turn on the heating remotely, I am not so worried!
