Densie was repaired at the end of last year and so now the weather has improved we are taking her out for a short journey to check all is OK.
But we discovered a serious problem before we set out. The back of our smokeless fuel stove has developed a bad crack and so the stove cannot be used. This is a common fault. The engineers at our marina told us they had repaired 14 stoves with similar probems. Fortunately for this journey our diesel central heating will be sufficient to keep the boat warm.

| Moored for the night near Rugby |
After booking a repair we set off at 10:20 stopping for lunch just before Hilmorton Locks. After cruising for a further 1.5 miles in the afternoon we stopped for the night at Clifton Upon Dunsmore in the countryside on the edge of Rugby.
5.74 miles, 3 locks, 2 hours 50 mins
