Left the marina yesterday. stopped at harleyford overnight, so that the boys could step on and off easily. Awoken at 8am by a farmer banging on the roof, wanting his £5. He first turned up at 7.30, but banged on the wrong end of the boat, causing me to believe I'd dreamt it, and I'd gone back to sleep. Sheena was not terribly impressed by this, but that's the way it is on this stretch of the river.
Enjoyed a very pleasant cruise up to Henley today, in perfect conditions. The lock keeper at Hurley chuckled, when somebody on a cruiser was jealous of our blue flag. And the lock keeper at Hambledon complimented me for my steering into a completely stuffed lock without ramming anyone. Wehey!
The river at Henley was mostly roped off, with everybody preparing for the forthcoming regatta. It's £50 for an overnight mooring while that is going on (complete with a free ton of goose poo). Thankfully, we will be nowhere near here then. luckily, we got the last mooring space in town (thanks to my masterful boat handling). :)
A quick shop, and we will be off again.... It's nice to be moving. Especially in this heat.
(Pictures turned out disappointing. Sorry).
