What a day! At least it didn't rain as forecast. 4 hours to do 'The 21' including doing the last 5 locks with a load of stuff on the blades, which we cleared at the top of the locks. Then couldn't get into the C&C moorings to see our friends, not deep enough, picked a whole load of blanket weed, which took 1½ hours to clear. Now moored at the Black Country Living Museum feeling rather pooped.
11½ miles 21 locks 1 tunnel in 10hrs mins. what3words ///called.sits.tend 😊
