Bridge 75

This is the mooring we left this morning by bridge 98 Water Eaton (not Fenny Stratford). We stayed here another day as one of Paul's friends (yes he does have some) works at Bletchley and had emailed us to find out where we were, is that a coincidence or what. Any way Colin arranged to call on us last night after he had finished work. So with a bit of time on our hands we wandered to the co-op to get a paper and we intended to call in the post office to renew Paul's fishing license but as with a lot of post offices it was no longer there, the shop is now a wine merchants. In the afternoon we took the dogs for a nice long walk in Waterhall park, than back along the tow path was a lovely day and we all enjoyed the exercise. Colin came around 6.45 and stayed till 10, there was plenty of reminiscing going on as they both worked together for a number of years. Paul was pleased that Colin had seen the boat as he is rather proud of her.

Although the wind was a bit sharp this morning it was a nice journey with only one lock to do so an easy day for me. We had to stop at one point for Paul to put his arm in the weed hatch to untangle a black sack from the prop, other than that every thing was fine. We finally moored up above bridge 75, nice spot and the sun is shining couldn't ask for a nicer place.

We actually saw a couple of hire boats today from Gayton they said they were making the most of the canal before it got too busy. Just like us I suppose. Not sure how long we are going to stay here we will just have to wait and see.
