Well we are moored in about the same spot as the last time I wrote here, but we are now facing the other way!! We left Bath last Friday, actually cruising with Eleanor so we were paired for the 6 locks down through Bath one of which is the second deepest lock on the whole canal system, over 19 foot deep.  There were then another 4 locks before we moored for the night alongside them at a little place called Bitton.  We set off together on Saturday morning and 2 lock and 10 miles brought us into Bristol.  It was lovely moored there in the harbour with lots going on.  Right in the centre of the town.  We had Paul’s cousin Alison with her husband, another Paul come to see us on Saturday.  Sunday friends from Plymouth, Sheree and Alec with Sheree’s Mum and Dad came to see us.  We did manage some sightseeing too.  Monday we were up at 7 To watch Andie and Geoff on Eleanor go out through the open lock on to the Avon towards Portishead.  In other words under the M5 bridge near Gordano!!  We may do that at a later date or we may go back via Reading, yet to be decided. 

Monday morning my cousin Carole arrived in Bristol on the bus then cruised with us through 2 locks to Keynsham where we dropped her off at that is where she lives!!  Again we moored at Bitton.  Yesterday we stopped at the bottom of the Bath locks so we could get shopping in Sainsbury. So today we have travelled just under 2 miles with 6 locks.  Now back at the top of the Bath flight for the night.
