I had the pleasure of steering through some pleasant countryside and then the  narrows while Romy walked the whole way checking for oncoming boats.

We were lucky enough to have a clear run but Romy did have to ask a few boats to wait some time after I had started  the passage through the narrows. It was a little strange having a rock face close by on Oliver’s right as we made our way through this section and the vegetation growing seemingly from the rock did not make life any easier.

We moored in the Llangollen Basin stern to in a spot that was almost perfect for the transfer that we would have to make between Oliver and Zena.

I had some concerns about the indicator lights on the inverter when we hooked up the shore power but everything seems to work OK.

We checked all Oliver’s vital signs and gave him a good bill of health.

I walked back along narrows to get some photos as it had been impossible to take pictures while steering!  I took a short video of “Casual Water” which became a close travelling companion for Oliver for the next couple of weeks.  Romy strolled into town and we met up a little later and had a look round the local shops.
