26th June '15

Getting off our mooring was fun this morning! Bearing in mind we were well out from the side, we were trying to undo ropes and get the gangplank AND john aboard, and the world and his wife decided to cruise past! Talk about Clapham Junction! Anyway we finally got everything sorted and then found ourselves in an orderly queue heading towards Bradford on Avon. We lost a few as the moored and finally got to the lock, where who should be coming in the other direction....our 2 older gentlemen from the Caen Flight!  They hadn't improved their technique at all I'm afraid to say!
As we came through the lower section of BoA, nearly ALLthe moorings were empty! We couldn't believe it....but bet that theylol be busy when we want to moor there on our return.
We ambled slowly on, through the 2 swing bridges and got to Bathampton. As we pulled in for water and were filling up, I took Paddy around to see what the mooring situation was by the pub, and miraculously there was a space right outside, we completed our fill and moved off only to find a hire boat going in....grrr....but luckily we were able to squeeze in a place in front and so there we were!
Paul and Rachel came up to visit and we had a lovely meal in the pub. It's been redecorated since the last time we were there, but the food was still good, and I had a fantastic Pimms.....first of the summer.
There had been a shower of rain in the afternoon after we'd moored but nothing else despite a poor weather forecast.
