Selby again

After writing my report up from yesterday's inspection there was a bit of cleaning to do.  The strong winds were responsible for blowing fine dust and sand into and onto the boat and this needed removing to avoid damage to paintwork.  There is also a first class ironmonger store in town which I wanted to visit for a few odds and end.   Then at midday we slipped out of our moorings and set off for Naburn, initially the marina there for fuel.  York marina couldn't have been more helpful, moving a very expensive looking cruiser so that we could get onto the fuel pontoon and then serving us a mere 74 litres where a typical cruiser might take 500.  At 81p base price not bad in these difficult times.  We arrived at the locks in good time to take water, and then we were off.  For the first hour we had the last of the flood tide making about 4.5 mph, then the speed picked up peaking at 7 mph.  As there were boats ahead, when we arrived at Selby,  we turned immediately after the to swing bridges and drifted down backwards.  The ebb tide turned out to be 1.8mph.  Soon enough the lock was ready and we entered with no problem.  Moorings in the basin tonight.
