Now departed Coventry down to the Hawksbury junction turned onto the Oxford and moored up for the night but just as we went into the junction we picked up a discarded rucksack on the prop and could`nt move until we opened the weed hatch and cut the bag apart with the carving knife carried for such a purpose At the mooring there are a couple of horses tethered next to us the owner came down tonight and said would we keep an eye on them just in case they twisted their tether  !!
Tonight it`s a grand sunny evening which after the windy afternoon is nice (wind on a narrow boat can be challenging considering that the side is 50ft by 5ft the size of a small aircraft wing ).
Tomorrow we are onto new ground might go round to Birmingham as I believe the Oxford is closed further south due to a collapsed lock

As you travel down the M6 this is what holds you up while we creep underneath
