22 August - you shouldn't brass off the crew
Up and about at 7am after a good nights sleep, a very quiet village even the church clock is not that loud.
In the pub yesterday we meet some people who came to the festival last weekend and were just leaving. They had arrived a month ago to get a good spot for the boat. If we had arrived last weekend we would not have been able to get through Cropredy easily and we certainly wouldn't have been able to stop. What a beautiful village and what fantastic weather
We moved off through the 1st lock and the toys were tossed and a change of Skipper happened.
So on we went, It would sound like sour grapes if I said that the next locks were all against us and had to be emptied and filled and the day was hot and the sweat was blinding so I won't.
Last lock I had to do for the day, he should have kept his mouth shut, I had a grand day driving.
I was making coffee for morning tea when I looked out the window and I saw the name Epiphany on a boat and the skipper John Slee who with his wife Fiona write a boating blog that I follow back home. But by the time I got topside they were gone around the corner, so close. If I had kept up with their blog I would have known to keep a better look out.
Now we are on the summit - no locks for 9 miles which means no more until tomorrow
We stopped for lunch at the Wharf Inn, a Cesar salad for Vicki, but not as we know it,4/10 Garlic prawns for me with fresh french bread 9/10 . The salad was 1/2 a lettuce some bacon and chicken and toast with cheese sprinkled on it. Back on the boat at 2pm and a Nana nap, and when it was cooler we moved on for an hour and moored on hooks at 4.45pm
