So last blog we were slow boating downstream on the Wey, enjoying the Rhododendrons in the sun ! Whilst having lunch at the New Inn at Send the weather started deteriorating. Going across open water meadows the wind started making steering difficult, so we decided to make a run for the marina rather than mooring on pins in the open. Thank goodness we did, last night a storm blew thru with heavy rain and gale force winds. T42 lurched around all night, and we could hear other boats hitting pontoons. It was still blowy this morning, it would be no fun on the Thames, so we’ve cancelled our trip to Hampton Court for present. Instead we went to the Aston Martin Museum / Owners Club HQ at Dreyton St Leonard. Situated in an old tithe barn we were made to feel most welcome, enjoyed the exhibits, and renewed our membership. 

First time seen in the flesh, Aston Martin One-77 with a  7.3litre V12 producing 750bhp, eat my dust Bugatti Veyron !

Another first see ! Vanquish Volante with only a 450bhp V12, well you don’t want your hair blown completely away….
