Ely

Ely Cathedral can be seen for miles

 5.5 uneventful miles in just over 1.5 hours took us to Ely where we moored at the northern end of the visitor moorings where we just slotted into an empty space with inches to spare.  We didnt want to travel further as we were afraid more central moorings would be full.  Later when we made the short walk to the city centre we discovered that there was plenty of space there.  However where we are should be quieter in the evening so we are staying.

After a visit to Ely Cathedral, we had lunch in the ElevenA cocktail bar where the food was very good and the fixed price lunch menu was good value.  following a quick look around the market, Angela left us and we returned to the boat.

To go back a bit into history - when we were in March last Sunday we had the boat serviced by Fox Narrowboats.  Since then we noticed an occasional small of diesel which I eventually traced to a small leak around the fuel filter.   I talked to Fox about the problem and they suggested a possible solution which didnt cure it.  So their technician visited us this afternoon in Ely, and appears to have fixed it by replacing an O ring.   These sort of problems are bound to occur from time to time, the important thing is that they are fixed with minimal delay and hassle and I am very happy to report very good service from Fox.

Today: 5.47m, 1 hour 40 minutes travelling.
