Closed !!!!

Got up early to make a 7am start, as we needed to make up time, only to find the lock closed. A large cover had fallen off the moored coal boat and got stuck at the bottom of the top gate so it would not close properly. BW sealed the entrance, drained the water and removed the obstruction. By this time it was 11am and we had to travel long days to get back to boatyard. Interesting watching them do it though.
