Above Rushey Lock; Monday 22nd June
We were moving for nearly one hour before we saw a boat moving; it is quiet and long may it so remain. Jim on Gazelle approached as we neared Ten Foot Bridge, I managed to get a photograph this time, and I do like his boat.
We approached Tadpole Bridge and saw Richard and Jane had moored ‘Casual Water’ at the pub. We tied alongside for the grand tour and coffee.
The boat was from Narrowcraft and had been well fitted out and finished to a good standard, incorporating some very useful and clever features; in particular, the convertible seat back on the dinette. The wiring and engine installation were equally impressive. Richard and Jane are justifiably very happy with the boat.
We said goodbye and headed for Rushey lock, mooring on the field above.
