Last voyage

A very tired crew left Conwy after a quiet night for the trip back across Liverpool Bay. The wind didn’t play ball so the engine was pushed into service again. We had a tough job to do today which consisted of eating all the leftover food a task which Max excelled at!  The wind finally kicked in and allowed us to raise the sails and bash onwards to Glasson. We actually arrived off Fleetwood too early and had to slow a bit so we did not get to the lock too early. The last bit up the river was in the dark and involved picking out green and red flashing lights and dodging ships. The boat was tied up in the lock waiting for the morning and the arrival of the lock keeper. We are now on our berth and heading home. Round most of Britain done!
