Those winter PJ’s came in handy, with a -2 this morning. We both slept better, waking at 3am for a cuppa and burst of heat. At 6am the frost was heavy, with the marina steaming away as the sun rose. Preparing T42 for her first run of year took a while, but by 9am we were all away. As usual the Wey did not disappoint, with some stunning water reflections. Showing Leon and Heather the first lock at Pyrford set a precedent, all 3 locks up and down were set against us. Leon gave Hazel a hand so by 12 we had made the New Inn at Send. By new they mean not that old as it was built in the 1600’s compared with the “older” one also in the village ! It also happens to be the meeting place for a Morgan 3 wheeler club, sadly none were in the car park. A superb lunch was followed by taking turns at the helm for the return journey. We judged it correctly with rain falling once we had made it back to Pyrford.
