After a bit of rain we woke to grey skies again, at least it wasn’t pouring ! After changing the bed linen we idled downstream.

Heading to Worsfold Gates

Numerous sleepy geese with crèches of goslings honked away, the Canada Geese have such a distinctive sound.

We seem to have found ourselves moored outside the New Inn at Send…so had a celebratory lunch, Scampi and Peas my favourite.

Poor Hazel has a very sore top lip, taking her coat off at Wisley yesterday she forgot about the camera around her neck…ouch.

After talking to a fellow Leica camera enthusiast, and exchanging emails, we completed the final run back to the Marina.

Rhododendrons still out, with reflections
Row of houses backing onto the river, Swans and Cygnets
High bridge, another favoured mooring, empty today
Cartbridge Marina ahead
Wild roses along the river banks
Turn starboard Captain

We are all tied up now. Power has been restored so everything can be charged up and the final load of laundry is on. Tomorrow we will finish packing, put the winter mooring ropes on and say our goodbyes. It’s been a wonderful 5 weeks, we’ve seen a lot of sights but are looking forward to getting home and seeing family and friends, not least of all 2 little dogos. Till next time, bye all.

Prime Thyme awaits
