New Year’s Cruise: Day 7

Dull and chilly today.  We set off at about 9.45, with just the familiar miles back to the marina to cover.  Little of note happened, but it was busy at Cosgrove Lock, with a boat on the water point, another waiting on the other side of the winding hole, and a little boat coming down.  It meant we had a bit of hanging about, but nothing too bad.

Back at the marina, I did probably my best ever spin and reverse into our berth, even if I do say so myself.  We tied up, packed, had lunch, did our bit of winterising, and set off for home.  On the way, I took the cratch cover to Tim Garland for repairs, following the M5 tunnel incident in September.

5 miles, 1 lock.  (46 miles, 12 locks).
