Dry Docking Part 2 and Back to Bridge No.33

 Bit of catching up to do with our docking photos now we are out of the dry dock and have moved back to Bridge No.33 on the Leicester line.

5 miles 1 lock in 1hr 50mins. what3words ///deprives.name.registers

Once the hull had been jet-washed Tuesday we had to wait for the hull to dry



Tuesday morning Jo made a start on rubbing down and primering the bow



Once dry the hull didn't look too bad



!st coat of blacking



Jo got started on the tunnel bands



Wednesday Jo did more on the bow



I did the weed hatch cover



Jo blacking the rubbing strakes between the tunnel bands



Whilst we were outside in the fresh air for a break we spotted this muntjac deer running across the field behind the dry dock



Stern painting finished



Bow painting finished



And the other side



This morning the dock was refilled with water



Nearly ready to leave



We temporarily moored at the wharf to take on water



Welford lock



Welford junction



I knew we were 28 miles from Leicester at this point, it said so on the mile post



Now moored near Bridge No.33 again
