Sometimes a picture says 1,000 words, so here's a photo of last night's mooring.

This is where the boat was tied up overnight, to a ring in the brick wall. The steel ring, which was immense, about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter, had been cemented into the brick wall when originally built.

The ring was so large, it could be spotted from afar.

This is the first time the boat's been moored in the water along a wall with no way off.

A very long, vertical, red brick wall fills the left side of the photo. The wall goes straight down into the water of the canal – no ledge, no steps, no towpath, nothing to stand or walk on.

The boat's midline is looped through the ring (out of view below the boat's roofline) and then tied to the boat.

On the far side of this rather broad canal is the towpath. This urban canal continues under a bridge in the distance. There are various industrial-age ruins and some newer, residential buildings alongside the canal. This canal is part of Birmingham Canal Network, or BCN. There are some green deciduous trees and bushes on the towpath side.
