(XP) [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] The final full day of our two weeks started off as most of the others, with me up at some ridiculous hour. Helen materialised at 09:30 and our day started with a short cruise from Br 49 to BH's home mooring at MCC. Hang on, last night when I finished we were miles away at Br 75. Correct, we decided that we'd have a Fish and Chip dinner and then move on to the bottom of Bosley locks, which we did. Problem came in finding a mooring, so I made a unanimous decision and we entered lock number 12 at Bosley. Time 19:40. Exiting No 1 Lock at exactly 21:20 and made a beeline for Br 49 where a pub called 'The Fools Nook' could be found. Arriving at the moorings at 22:10, moored and in the pub by 22:15. Back to today though, as we approached the canal centre we decided it was too early to return to base and therefore we carried on to Br 25 before stopping for lunch. A quick run to the winding hole near bridge 23 to wind then back to the Canal Centre, arriving at 16:30 So that's it holiday over, our two weeks of Leisure has come to an end.........almost! Tomorrow we meet up with Stan & Judy to hand their boat back Then there's twelve of us out for dinner tomorrow evening. We shall leave immediately after the evening has finished and probably arrive home in the small hours of sunday morning. That's all folks As You Do Tony M ---
