The Story So Far

Check Well, after a month of doing very little due to my sprained wrist; we thought we'd get going and start cruising slowly down the Macclesfield Canal after Easter. We had a couple of nights in Poynton,  while Stella went for physio for her wrist and then got to Bollington, where we arranged for our Boat Safety Cert to be done. It was a busy day, sorting out banks etc as well and then the inspector found the wires to the relay were melting. So a fail and a call out to get the engine sorted once and for all, as it's not been right since the new starter motor was installed at the end of November last year.
The result was the solenoid had burnt out and so it had to go back to Stoke to be rebuilt and we had a week with no electricity or water. Fortunately,  there was a tap at Clarence Mill we could use and finally on Friday they came to mend it. Stella went off to the airport to meet her eldest daughter, whom she hadn't seen in 7 years and so a short family reunion was had before she flew out to Spain to see her Dad.
