We had a late start from home because we had to help Matthew with a catering problem. He wanted some crayfish for a BBQ that he was going to tonight (Sat). He borrowed a couple of nets from my friend Ian, baited them and placed them in the river Thame, and brought home more than 90 crayfish this morning. Consequently we didn't arrive at the boat until after 12. We set off down the Stockton flight, passing solo through every lock and completed all 8 in 50 minutes. Stopped opposite the Blue Lias pub and filled with water from a very fast tap. If only all waterpoints had that sort of pressure available. No-one home aboard Virgo when we passed. We shared 2 of the next 11 locks by catching up the boat in front of us. Finally moored for the night alongside the woods between bridge 33 and Radford bottom lock. Predicted highlights for tomorrow include Tescos in Leamington and Hatton flight before meeting up with Niel R. In the Navigation at Kingswood in the evening.
