Friday 07/10/2011 Fanning’s Lock - Banagher - Victoria Lock - Banagher

Motto of the day: A sunny day and a nice evening with the crew of 'Arthur'

The morning is promising a nice day. We will get sunny spells with less wind the whole day than during the past two days. Again we go downstream to Banagher and then further on to Meelick.
