Anderton Lift. April 4th

On Thursday we had a major panic as the boatyard rang to say that, Sorry but both our crane drivers are on holiday so your boat cannot be lifted out on Tuesday! No suggestions were offered for any alternative. So Andy dug out the Waterways World Annual and managed to track one down. Jalsea Marine have agreed to do the job for £150 less! They are also based in Northwich, but on the River Weaver, so we have come down here on the Anderton lift, which is a drop of 50 foot, and is always an experience. We are waiting on a lovely mooring a mile or so downstream of Northwich.
