It's a Gas.

 Today we were off a little early as we were only going to Canal Cruises yard as were having some work done/

They has asked us to arrive between 10 and 1030 as Monday is the day they change over n the dry docks so there was a lot of boat shifting to do. We edged our way past  Fullers yard and to Limekiln Lock and then down Newcastle Road Lock.

I was trying to catch the drips from the weed that were glinting in the sunlight, but still it looks okay.

We moored up at 1015 and reported in to be told that the gas engineer was off at an appointment. He got back at 1215 and started on the work.

The gas regulator was not functioning correctly apparently and I had asked to have fitted a bubble tester. To be honest I only went in in the first place as I smelled gas in the gas locker. Everything was cropped out

The new regulator was fitted in the seat locker and the bubble tester too. The other job was to fit a new thermocouple for the grill.

Once all was installed he tested it all and found it was leaking. So everything was taken out again and it was found the olive on the bubble tester had got damaged! It was 18:30 when we left and alot of money lighter. Hey ho!!

I was able to have a good look at the new Joule's Brewery tap. You can see the finials that are the same as on the old brewery as well as the initials in the peaks and even the Joules cross in the veranda supports.

The sheds and dry docks are old and make a great ensemble for the yard. a little like that at Braunston.

We managed to spring off into the strong wind and get round to head into yard lock after 1830. We then went down Star lock and took some water before carrying on to find a mooring for the night. Near the end of the moorings was a space that we just fitted in and settled in.
