And we're off...


We're used to racing off north to the boat after work on Friday evening: we have a well-honed routine that sees us on the road before 6:30pm and, with luck and a tail wind, on to the boat with the stove lit by 9:30. We nearly decided to put off our journey up for this longer trip until Saturday morning, but I'm glad we didn't because it meant we got a good head start on Saturday morning through Calcutt locks, on to Braunston and through the tunnel. Moored for the night a couple of miles after the Leicester arm junction. Off through Watford locks and Crick today, where we can wave to the brokers who sold us Caracol. Be nice if it stopped raining though.
