Date 6 July 2015
Overnight the weather was overcast with showers of rain and colder than it has been recently.
Morning: An early start was decided upon to avoid afternoon rain. Called to fill up with water as the tank was getting low. A few boats on the move and after the showers started we continued to cruise with the pram hood up!
Afternoon: Steady cruise watching out for the occasional view over towards the river Severn. It was high tide when we arrived at Sharpness, which turned soon after our arrival.
Evening: Visit to the dock workers club for a beer.
