7 August - Limehouse & Canary Island
Slow start for the day and we moved down through locks to marina shortly after 11. On check in we found we had a problem with VHS radio - eventually found out we were just on wrong channel. Sorted - if we had no radio we couldn't go, all crafts over 45 foot must carry VHS and anchor.
Last lock and we are in the basin
Once radio sorted we headed to Tescos for a quick shop and then Vicki went for walkabout around Canary Island, I stayed on board and made dinner. Bring on tomorrow.
View of what we will see in the morning
The Grape is a 16th Century pub right on the canal http://www.thegrapes.co.uk/
View for night, alarm set for 5am
TOTAL - 4 miles, 4 locks, water and sign in at Limehouse marina
Our journey along the river until Oxford starts tomorrow
