And STOP!

The Trent and Mersey Canal. The boards are trying to keep the water in following the breach further up the canal.

 Second line of defence, mud!
We are moored 6 miles from here, still afloat.This is the end of the line...Estimated repair date 2014.
Deuxieme ligne de defense, le boue! Nous amarre 10km d'ici,toujours a flot! C'est le fin du canal...Reparation estime d'etre fini en 2014.
                                                       




 High and dry..



Echoue!






Nine boats left stranded. Both ends of the canal closed.
Earliest repairs to the least damaged section, December 2012.
Time to go home and start again in April 2013...
