At Last

Yippee we are free of the lock pound and have continued our journey. It has been a lovely day nice sunshine and clear blue sky. The locks 33 to 37 are quite spaced so Heather rode her bike to set the lock while Paul and I closed the gates of the lock we were leaving this system worked really well. Once we had got to Marsworth the remaining 7 locks were close together so we were able to walk them, half way down the flight we met a couple on a wide beam first one I have seen actually moving so that meant the locks we set in our favour and as the lady on the wide beam was unable to do the locks her partner had left all the gates open so it made it easy for us. (once through the locks we shut the gates). We then had a slow cruise to Cowroast where we are now moored up for the night. Its only 3pm but we have been on the go since 9 this morning. Tomorrow its Berkhampstead for a visit to Waitrose and may be a wander then on again to find a nice mooring for Saturday night may be we will get to Hemel Hempstead and I can have a bit of retail therapy. Paul and Heather are meeting friends for lunch on Sunday so we will part company and then meet up again Monday to carry on down the G.U. It is nice having company for a change.
