Another day in Gargrave

We had intended to move on to Skipton today although the weather forecast did not look good. The locks below the moorings at Gargrave, like all locks on this section of the canal, are only available 10:00-18:00 to conserve water. At 9:30 when we should have started to move the rain started. It continued to rain for the next 6 hours.

So we stayed at the mooring. The temperature was uncomfortably cold so I lit the stove. During the morning I finished off my OU assignment and Denise completed a beadwork mat.

During the afternoon we ran the engine to recharge the batteries and provide hot water. This will stay hot overnight sufficient for the needs of tomorrow morning. And tomorrow we leave for Skipton.
