That will be Gwyneth joining me at Nuneaton - if all goes to plan.
The plan, of course, involves an early start.
It was stunningly beautiful and clear at 5.30am as I left the mooring to start up the Atherstone flight. There was the usual dawn cacophony of cockerels and peacocks in glorious dissonance, but that is part of being in the countryside.
I was clear of Atherstone after about 3 hours and arrived at Boot Wharf in Nuneaton at 10.40am. When Gwyneth arrived, she was able to park her car at Starline Cruisers (for a donation to their favourite charity).
By the time we were sorted out it was 11.30am, and so we headed towards our destination - the Ashby Canal.
We duly turned onto this waterway and made our way up to the Battlefield mooring where there was a very handy space at the end. Time to stop for the day at 4.40pm.
We still had some energy left, so walked up into Market Bosworth for supper at the Red Lion. The weather stayed fine, if not very warm, except for just a few drops of rain. Judging by the clouds in the distance someone else got the downpour.
