Day 13 - Market Harborough to Foxton

Monday 15th August

5.5 miles

A beautiful day. Paul went into MH basin for a pump out while I went to find a chemist - coldsore. Paul met me and we had a coffee in the square.

Back to boat to cruise in the sunshine back to Foxton. Sam from the boatyard unable to repack the stern gland as he has injured his elbow. Paul bought some packing and did it himself. It took a long time as one engine mount had come loose putting the shaft out of alignment. Phone call to Ian to find out what to do and a very awkward tightening of a barely accessible nut. All well in the end except that Paul has and aching chest and tummy from lying on the hard floor and engine and stretching over to reach the dreaded nut!
