A mile

I came up to the boat after an early shift, as I have a boat test on Tuesday.  I stopped before the M1 for food shopping on the way, and arrived at about 4pm. Within half an hour I was heading out of the marina; the turn north was against a fresh wind, but it must have gone ok because a group of towpath walkers stopped to watch and then gave me a round of applause!

It was warm but increasingly cloudy, and I thought it was going to rain.  My favourite spot by the footpath through the hedge was occupied by a breasted up pair of boats which have also taken over the towpath, so I carried on through the next bridge to another place I’ve used before.  It hasn’t rained, and in fact the sun has made an appearance.

1 mile, 0 locks.
