.......before the Caen Hill flight.
Yesterday Karl and I decided that we would go our separate
ways, so this morning we shared the Wootton Rivers Bottom lock (51) said our
goodbyes and set off as two separate solo boaters again.
I hadn’t got very far before I came across what appeared to
be a grounded boat with Karl towing him off but I couldn’t be sure quite what
was happening, it might have been the other way round, so I hung back until the
excitement died down and all were moving again and then carried on.
I am now on ‘The Long Pound’, about 14 miles of lock free
cruising until I reach Devizes, and passing another interesting looking vessel
among all the others moored up.
I had intended to stop briefly at Pewsey Wharf to do a fill
and empty before moving on again, but my plans are always flexible and as I
neared the end of the visitor moorings I spotted a gap not quite large enough to fit into,
but the boat ahead had room to move so I asked nicely and he moved into the gap
creating a bigger one behind him to allow me in, it was too much to resist, a piled edge,
48hr mooring, and I am right at the end nearest the pub, The Waterfront, added to that the
weather forecast said rain this afternoon and tomorrow, so here I will probably
stay for 48 hours J
Tonight’s mooring:
Totals today : 3 miles : 1 lock
P.S. The forecast was partly correct, it rained quite heavily around 2:30 but only for an hour or so.
