Again the first job was to fill the domestic water system and then get the stove alight. We received a bit of good news, it seems that BW are going to dredge our moorings after all and before the end of March. From what I can make out they have the cash and if they don't spend it before the end of the financial year they just lose it, so they are going to use it. There were several boats on the move and one came up the flight just before we left. We stopped in the Top Lock to load the boat, not much as we are only out for the weekend. We met several boats in the flight but overall it probably slowed us down a bit as one was a single hander without a lot of idea or a licence, the couple following said they had been kept busy closing paddles as they got to the locks behind him. Today was fine but felt quite cold in the breeze and not a lot of sightings of the sun behind the clouds. We pushed on until just before 5 pm and then moored for the night on the new section of towing path and pilings just before Napton Narrowboats. There have been a couple of boats go by since we have been here and most of the cars crossing the two bridges blow their horns, so with one each end of us its surprisingly noisy but hopefully that will cease when it gets dark. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/
