Crick planning

My passes for the Crick Boat Show arrived the other day; my mooring is booked and paid for, and crew to help me get there are lined up.  And the good news is that our journey should be much easier, thanks to BW relaxing lots of the restrictions on locks.  It's been raining so much that the reservoirs are recovering, so the Stoke Bruene, Buckby, and Watford flights will all be open longer (as will Braunston, Calcutt, and Foxton).  The Leicester Line is also reopening, which should ease the traffic coming from the south.
