Another horrid day like Friday but windy today too.
We said yesterday that we would look at the weather forecast
in the morning and see whether to move on or not. We decided that if it was going to be like
Friday then we would stay put but the others weren’t too sure at that
stage. I opened the curtains this
morning at about 7.40am to find that they had gone!! It was a bit of a shock to say the least.
I had a rotten headache so went back to sleep and was woken
up by the smell of bacon frying – it was lunchtime!

| View from the boat - taken yesterday |
Above Oxford the Environment Agency have been putting out
port and starboard buoys to mark where there are shallows. Last night someone went aground and had to be
towed off and lo and behold someone else did it today. A boat tried to pull them off but failed so
they had to wait for a couple of hours until another boat came along who
managed to free them. Richard said that
at Godstow Lock the Lockie told him that there were markers and to keep the
greens ones to the right and the red ones to the left. Obviously some people feel they don’t need to
worry about such trivialities!

That was about it for the day – when it rains and you are in
the middle (well not literally) of a big field there isn’t’ much to do.
