We’ve had a good day returning to the Marina, the cooler conditions are more pleasant when standing at the tiller all day.

The first lock was set for us, but not so for the next three….

We called into Dapdune Wharf, head of the Wey Navigations Office, to use the services and exchange some books at the bookstore there. We always find something to read here !

We picked up a travelling companion over the next couple of locks, we always zipped ahead but had to set the lock, so they always caught up a la Tortoise and Hare

There is a nice shady spot near the New Inn at Send where we pull in for lunch and sample some of our new books for an hour or so. Then onto High Bridge for milk and tonic, and back into the Marina. We catch up with Penny and Mark for G&T’s and plan tomorrow’s cruise down onto the Thames together with Iris. We will then decide if it’s downstream to Hampton Court or follow Penny upstream for a while depending upon how we feel. A few of the Thames Locks are having problems and we don’t want to get caught out, as this time next week we’re Australia bound !
