Nice sunset last night
Set off in good time with another boat to go up the Caen flight together.
all went uneventfully until we met a hotel boat which has a wide beam and added a bit of spice to passing each other during the extremely short distance between the locks
......... close fit but O.K.
near the top of the flight we started to get some good views again, which do not really show up well in the photo
Passed a couple of other narrow boats
..... the chap in the life jacket is a Canal and River Trust volunteer who helps people if they need it. All very chatty and great if you are short-handed.
The lilies are just beginning to come into flower and the side pounds here are going to look stunning in a week or two.
Now we find ourselves at a 24 hour mooring and we then go on the run through Honeystreet and Hungerford where the O2 signal seems to run out and so there will possibly be a break for a couple of days. After Hungerford should be O.K. We shall see.
