So to continue on from yesterdays post:- Having taken Sid on board at the bottom of Stanley flight he then admitted he hadn't got a windlass and could he borrow ours. With him the only C&RT bod to get us through Prince's locks we were only too happy to oblige. Then the rain started!!! And boy did it rain. We had coats but not Sid. Tough chap that he is said no doubt he would be dry within 10 minutes if the sun came out. It didn't and a drowned rat came to mind.
Travelling through Salisbury dock turn left at Victoria clock |
Heading towards the Central Dock Channel (Sids ditch) |
He was enjoying the rain or so he said! |
But does look very wet doesn't he! Just see Quiet Women behind with brolly. |

Keep to the wall so the buoys to the right. |
Buoys to the left here highest part of the bridge. |
Prince's lock |
Mann Island lock |
Turn right leaving the lock into Canning dock and then right into Canning Half tide dock (through the gap) |
Finally left into Albert dock (at the very end) and then left into Salthouse dock and onto the pontoon.. |
S3 other side of the Swan boats. |
Should have known how tangled all the bunting would get...spinning round and round. Took me an hour to sort it all out! |

Irene, next time you wash your bunting, put it a bag ( cotton of coarse or a pillow case and tie the neck). You'll find they don't tangle so much. We do this if we want to wash ropes as well.

What a shame your entry to Liverpool was in such foul weather. Let's hope your exit will be in sunshine.
Thanks for that tip Alan and Halfie we too hope for a better passage back. Too much wildlife to try and photograph so I need it to be dry.
Sid is a character. We had the wind, you get the rain, I know which I preferred! Enjoy your stay in the docks. Keith & Jo.
