Set off on tour number 2 of the summer around 9.30 - dry but very breezy - needed fleeces on. Only got to Dickens Heath when steering went completely on a bend under the bridge with a hire boat coming the other way who appeared oblivious to our lack of control. Eventually got boat into the offside where Paul was able to clear the rubbish out - not before another two boats had passed.
Saunter along boat stopped prior to drawbridge waved us through and kept bridge open for quite a time. I bet the drivers were happy not! This boat was called Saunter Together - we saw a lot of them in the next 48 hours.

Brightened up a lot but still very breezy. Moored at Alvechurch for the night - able to sit out and read. Lots of ducks, geese and a tern gathered when a man came to feed them. He said he came down every evening - I think they were expecting him.

Watched the Tour de France highlights and the second world cup semi final, very different to last nights Argentina won on penalties.
