Harnser's present position http://tinyurl.com/harnser show Last night we had a firework display and laser on the far side of the Washes. This morning we woke in sunshine to the sound of the rowers, however before long it was tipping it down so we didn't make a great effort to get ready to move. We finally set off at 10 am after the rain for the day had finished. It stayed fine and sunny but the wind freshened as the day progressed which made boat handling at times "interesting". Today was a day for wildlife with 6 Kingfishers being spotted, a large grass snake in one lock and an eel in another, the final wildlife was a group of kids swimming in Higgham Lock, they vacated it as we arrived and got dressed, they then helped Diana with the lock gates and one asked me if I could oblige him with a glass of water, which I did. However their language was something else. We moored for the night at the EA 48hr moorings at Irthlingbourough where we availed ourselves of a free pumpout provided by the EA -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Join SOW and help save our waterways http://www.saveourwaterways.org
