Heavy rain all day is forecast for Friday. So we have to make plans on the assumption that we wont be moving that day. This is where boating life gets complicated. On Tuesday we shopped in Macclesfield buying sufficient food to last until Friday. The only major shopping opportunity before our journey's end on Monday/Tuesday is at Kidsgrove. But we need to be there before Saturday in order to get back on time. So that leaves us little choice but to aim for Kidsgrove today and buy sufficient food with suitable use-by dates to last us until early next week.
We left our mooring at 9am heading into a strong cold wind and arrived at our previous moorings in Kidsgrove at 1:30. On the way we were able to stop to get the boat's waste tank pumped out and the fresh water tank filled. So a good days work culminating in the 10 minute walk to Tesco and a search for the longer life groceries we needed.
Totals: 9.6 mile
