More rain fell over night but the sky was full of broken cloud by dawn. The wind was quite cool and blustery. Showers forecasted for later.
Morning: 10:00 Filled up the bow tank with water before joining two other boats and going out onto the River Aire. Then we came across a sunken boat outside the Boat Inn at Allerton Bywater. A few boats heading down stream.
Afternoon: Fishpond Lock and the monsoon started. Thunder and lightening and a dark lowering sky. The water surface was a maelstrom for fifteen minutes as the rain hammered down. I had to get a complete change of clothes as I was soaked to the skin in seconds.
Evening: Another good soaking while walking the dogs along the towpath. Then settle back to listen to the rain and a few podcasts from the BBC.
Wildlife: A few Butterflies including Orange Tip, Meadow Brown, Painted Lady, Comma, and a few Dragonflies that included Brown Darter and Four Spot Chaser.
