Out of Diesel

The days started well. We passed through Bascote locks which includes a staircase pair:

We planned to continue past Calcut locks for another hour but the engine began to lose power, the revs would drop and then pick up again. We got to the top of the locks and moored for the night and I dismantled the engine room floor to get at Syncopation's filters. Found very little debris or water in them. Spent a good 45 minutes trying to bleed the fuel system without success.

Moored above Calcut locks.
