A short cruise....

......and the start of another project.

Having replenished some perishable foodstuff, watched Strictly Come Dancing and the Mexican Gran Prix, napped a few times and read a few books I thought it may be a good idea to move from my current mooring, overlooking a graveyard, today, well before tonight, Halloween ;-)

It was a foggy start and I didn’t set off until 11 as I was in no rush and only wanted to travel a few miles to charge the batteries and get into a sunnier position for the solar panel to be of benefit, it was in shade where I was moored, the sun came out and it was a beautiful 1½ hour cruise amazing weather for the time of year. 

Not much to say about the trip, I think I only passed two other boats on the move, holiday season has more or less finished and the summer cruisers are mostly now either in their chosen marina or back at home for the winter, it's lovely!

So I'll just give you some pictures of the journey.

Wheedon Wharf, now a private house.

Still some fog but lovely views

Another dinky, spare room for the boat in front?

Stowe Hill Wharf and workshops

The Narrow Boat, Stowe Hill

Private dwelling,convenient for canal or local road

Glass of Red ?

Heyford Fields Marina

Doh!! .......Too Late

I passed a couple of nice rural moorings but knowing what I had planned for the next few days I thought it might be wise to moor up near a pub, in case frustration leads me to drink.
So I went on to Bugbrooke and I am moored right opposite The Wharf pub.

Tonight's mooring

Totals today: 3.5 miles

I spent a few hours this afternoon making a start on the new project, more about that later, but I will be here a few days until I get as far as I can with the first phase.
