We woke up to gorgeous sunshine though
it was very cold.

We had a long day ahead so we got underway
quite early. Up past Michael Dennett Boat
Builders who have been restoring wooden boats in Chertsey since 1988.

Then into Staines where I made a visit
to Sainsburys to top up the fridge. We
bought a new fridge during the winter which is a larder fridge as opposed to
the one we had which had a silly little freezer. I have so much space now – it’s fantastic.
Bell Weir Lock and Old Windsor Lock and
then Windsor Great Park. I just love
this gate house tucked under the bridge.
I just wanted to get past this tree
before it fell on top of us.
Romney Lock and through Windsor but we
weren’t stopping there today. We dumped
toilet and rubbish and filled with water at Boveney Lock and then went a short
way up to the Boveney Lock moorings which were completely empty.
I’m not sure if people know about the
new system of mooring on the EA moorings on the Thames. There is a website, Thames Visitor Moorings and if you stop at one of the
designated EA moorings you are supposed to go on to the site and register your
arrival. It’s very simple and we did it
for the first time yesterday and again today.
At present, it is a year’s trial.
