Narrowboat Holiday Day 4 - Manchester (0 hours; 0 miles; 0 locks)

Thursday, 7 April 2022

As you can see from the title of this blog, we didn't go anywhere today...at least not on the narrowboat. Since we are not going anywhere, we have to run the diesel engine for 6 hours to charge our house batteries.  The house batteries run the fridge as well as all the lights, the heater, and the water pump...all very important things.  We ate breakfast and then I ran to the market to resupply as Tim sat on the boat to allow the engine to continue running.  We then hung out on the boat reading and surfing the internet until 2:30 PM.  We walked to a Dim Sum restaurant that was really good.  I have been craving Dim Sum for some time now, but it is really hard to find.  After lunch, we walked to Cloudwater Brew Company and then a couple of doors down to Track Brewing Company.  Both had delicious beers.

We then headed back to the boat with a slight detour to purchase and umbrella and a couple of frozen pizzas for dinner.  We got back to the boat, I heated up some left over chips (french fries) and cooked the pizzas.  We watched some TV and called it a night around 11 PM.

Tomorrow is a big day.  We have 18 locks to do!  Wow...I better get a good nights sleep.
