To blacking: Day 2

It was very windy this morning, and we’d had some rain.  We set off about 9am, struggling slightly to get away from the bank against the wind. At least it wasn’t raining.


Most of the two miles has moored boats and had to be done on tickover.  It was particularly tight through Rugby boats.  Not sure whether someone thought it was a good idea to moor opposite breasted up boats, or whether they were there before the breasting up took place — but either way, it wasn’t very sensible.


We have delivered the boat to Weedon for blacking this week.  Today’s journey was less than an hour, so we were on the road back home in good time, and the weather got worse as we headed south.

2 miles, 0 locks.  (17 miles, 7 locks)
