So now the motor is up for sale on Apollo Duck, we can continue a relatively ordinary routine of festivals on our calendar, fitting viewings in where we are accessible.
(It is possible that we may decide to sell the butty as well, if a working pair of boats was available on the sale of our motor.....!!!)
Please follow the above link for details and correspondence form.
Leaving Foxton on Sunday evening, we passed through the tunnel and arrived at Welford Junction around 8pm. It was a good start to the journey.
The boys often enjoy a stroll along the towpath, as Richard doesn't really need me on the butty. She behaves very well and I only need to help on tight bends, wiggly bits and windy situations!
Back on board
Yelvertoft Marina
This bend is difficult enough, because boats moor on it and there is usually a boat coming the other way, but to breast up? She was a nice lady, so I decided not to put her boats on Facebook page 'Moored like a t@@t'..... Luckily on this occasion there were no approaching boats!
Crack Hill at Crick in the distance
Crick Marina on the left on the approach to Crick visitor moorings
For once, we decided that we would carry on, breaking the habit of a lifetime, as we always overnight in Crick. The tunnel is in this next stretch
And out the other side
A beautiful day as we neared Watford Locks
Virtually no hold up at the locks and with the welcome help of the volunteers on duty, we flew down, me taking the motor and Richard bow hauling the butty
Left turn at the junction, and our usual mooring was conveniently free after the workboats. The sun was burning, so we retreated inside and had showers ready for an early start on Tuesday morning....
