March 24th, 2008 Posted in GeneralWe took a trip over to the Dry Dock first thing but when I arrived the surveyor was already in the middle of doing the complete hull survey for insurance purposes. I enjoyed a cup of tea and a quick natter with Barry, as usual, Judith was off gallivanting, and then it was time to be gone. It was a relatively quick journey back up the cut to our moorings, but it is always coming home.
Just as we left Worsley and came through the bridge near the Dry Dock, a Push Tug shot out into the main channel and floored it up the cut. It’s a good job I was going slow past the moored boats otherwise the tug would of been a new front fender! Not only that, but at the wider section of the canal a few boat lengths up the cut they winded right across the bows. Luckily it was only a small boat and was able to make it round in one and I wasn’t that close, otherwise I could see a jam happening as they didn’t give any notice of their actions at all. Tut!
