When we took the dog out last night the wind had dropped right away, the moon and stars were out and the canal was like a mirror. When we woke this morning there was a cool breeze and a covering of snow but by 10pm the snow had gone but the cold breeze continued all day. We are averaging 2.5 miles per hour down here with a shallow canal and moored boats and some sharp bends. There were two engines in steam at Shackerstone, we could see them steaming along in the distance, the white steam showing against the dark sky. We winded at the present end of the Ashby canal and moored for the night at about 4-30pm. The trust has been hard at work cutting down trees and clearing brushwood on the route of the closed section of canal, all they need now is money. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/
