Gary had a look at the calorifier and it was good news, he
had been able to fix it where he thought the leak was coming from and tested
the coil and it was okay, so he put it back in the boat and we turned on the
water, but alas it was leaking from somewhere else and we all decided in the
end that a new calorifier was required, we were all disappointed that it
couldn’t be fixed but couldn’t be helped at least he tried.
He was going to get the new one from Midland Chandlers in
Braunston as that is where our original one came from and it was quicker for
him to go and fetch it and take the old one with him so we got the same one
again so the fixings wouldn't have to be changed rather than have it couriered
over and the possibility of them sending the wrong one.

| Passing over the River Avon |
We went out for a walk while he was gone and walked up the
canal to the Tesco and had a coffee in Costa, then walked back. Gary was back and was fitting the new one. A
while later it was all done and tested.
We are now the proud owners of a new calorifier but our pockets are now
a whole lot lighter and I think bread
and jam is on the cards for a while!!

| Leaving aqueduct at Warwick |
Late afternoon we left the boat yard and went up the canal,
over two aqueducts and turned in the winding hole. We were going to moor at the Lidl just by the
winding hole but the moorings were full and we did try to get in on the bank
but we were scrapping so decided not to bother and headed back down the canal,
past Delta Marine Services and moored a little further up at the Coventry Road Visitor
Moorings which are opposite Kate Boats.
We will stay here tonight then chug on tomorrow.
