We had a stroll into Windsor this morning, to get some shopping and perhaps look around. Even at 9am train and bus loads of tourists were milling around.

So we headed back to the boat and instead wasted an hour trying to contact Australia. Why do telco’s make it so difficult, connect with this network, validate with that and use this….no signal strength and definitely no joy so let’s go boating. We caught up with Iris at Dorney Reach, site of the old Olympic Rowing Course, in a lovely tranquil spot. Trying telecommunications again we had success this time, and wished Dad a happy birthday. When FaceTime works it can be great, but using it overseas seems so frustrating. I’ve no idea how we eventually connected thru !

As it was a little too early to stop we did 3 more locks, ending up in Cliveden Reach, moored up in the inside passage of a little island. It’s blowing a gale today, and which has called for some tricky manoeuvring, it’s time for a drink and relax.
