There hasn't been a lot of boat traffic on this canal at all but, for some reason three boats passed by before 8 a.m., two of which were commercial barges. They need to stick to the centre of the Canal to keep enough depth of water so they pass by us very close! Crew went with Skip to the supermarket and we came back with a toaster and a new shaver for Skip as well as other essentials. Although the morning had started with a heavy mist over the water and pretty cold (real autumn weather!) the sun was now doing its' best to warm us up so we stopped at the hotel and partook of a couple of beers.....rude not to!! After lunch and a rest, Crew did a couple of jobs whilst Skip cleaned some windows. Janette and Steve on Calypso had arrived whilst we were at the supermarket, along with an Australian crew we had seen before so we were no longer 'Billy no mates'.
For some reason Skip seems to have a penchant for buying steak hache (minced beef) so Crew decided to make steak tartare for dinner with some sauté potatoes which we had to eat below unfortunately as it was too cold to stay up top. We watched another episode of Wolf Hall but decided two of those was a bit heavy so we watched Vera for an hour, then bed.
