Well after a fairly early rise, actually 4am, we finally set off at 8am with T42 all organised. As we didn’t have the new code for the shower block our wet room was used. The new shower unit is working a lot better, but a few air locks caused some flow and temperature fluctuations ! After an engine check it was straight out and into the locks. At first we were a bit rusty, but have improved with each one despite having the last 5 set against us.

After arriving at the National Trusts Dapdune Wharf, where the old River Wey Barges were built, it was time for lunch, or rather Afternoon Tea / Scones, Clotted Cream and Jam!  We were briefly joined by a lovely steam powered launch. Tonight we will catch up with Penny, who helps look after T42, and try to stay awake longer. Tomorrow some shopping in Guildford before meandering our way back to the marina. Pre dinner drinks will be cider tonight, in honour of Richard and Christine. Cheers !
