After getting to Debdale Marina and filling up with diesel, we winded and headed back toward Newton Harcourt again. We needed to go back to Kilby Bridge to move our car back to Sandiacre and also to look after our grandson Joshua while Christine went to work for a few hours. Again we set of in almost perfect conditions weather wise. We had just locked down 4 flights and only had one to go when the snow came again. As there was nowhere to moor we had to keep going. Well to say I was steering blind is an understatement. More by luck then judgement did I manage to keep the boat in the middle of the cut rather then on the bank!!! We did find moorings eventually, but not until we were back to where we had set of this morning. Every part of me and Ian was wet through. So thankful the boat was warm inside.
