LLangollen to Ellesmere
crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct for the fourth time
Jan was sick all night. When the water filter casing split, it evidently allowed some of the impurities collected over time to mix with the water, which Jan then drank. John got up at 0615 and we got going at 0645.
At Chirk we stopped for David to cycle to Barbridge to get his car and for John to get supplies from town. When John got back to the boat he found that the rear mooring pin had been pulled out by a speeding boat.
We stopped for water at Ellesmere, and met David who arrived with a new AquaFilta cartridge. We fitted it and watered up (again?) Had a shower on board and had a shave in the loo block. Changed the gas bottle. I didn't record the time of mooring here, but the engine hours for today were 9.2, so I would estimate 1700, allowing for an hour at Chirk.
The photo shows the camera I'd set up for my timelapse record of the trip. It's protected against rain by a muesli packet.
