Day 14 - Shackerstone to Marston Jabbett

Monday 22nd September - 17 miles

Another cool but blue sky start to the day. Toilet full so pump out urgent.

Cruised to Market Bosworth filled up with water, on  to Sutton Wharf where we got rid of the rubbish and then Ashby Boats at Stoke Golding for super fast pump out and diesel.

Next stop bridge 23 for lunch and a quick shop at Spinneybrook farm shop where we topped up milk, bread and veg. I bought myself some homemade "Ashby" sausages for dinner tomorrow. Also had some luxury ice cream for pudding.

Decided to cruise on as we are thinking of getting back earlier for Derby folk festival. Headed for bridge 5 moorings. As we moored I smelt a bad egg smell - assuming quite wrongly as it turned out that it was something in the atmosphere.

After dinner and closing up the boat Lucy sent through official photographs - well some of them. We noticed the rotten egg smell getting worse and worse it was coming from the back of the boat. After topping up the water in the engine and a few checks the smell disappeared thank goodness for febreeze.
