We made very good progress on the deep waters of the Bridgwater Canal so much so that we passed Lymm at 11:00, and arrived at the portal of Preston Brook Tunnel at 14:10 where we had to wait until the 10 minutes allowed to enter after the half hour. Minnehaha joined us at this point and followed us through until Dutton Stop Lock where we parted company. At Saltersford Tunnel entrace we wound up behind an Alvechurch hire boat and for the next tunnel, but they appeared to have gone ahead by Anderton where we stopped for the night at 17:20.
