The first couple of boat came by quite early to join the queue for the ten o’clock flight opening so we were away about half nine. Three hire boats who looked to be one big family traveling together asked if the had to go down the locks to wind and then come back up. That should be fun with the boats queuing below the flight and them trying to wind. They are putting yet another floating chalet in the basin that was once full of boats at Blue Haven. Since we have been out the land at Barby Straight has been sold and lots of the other plots with no boats have private signs up. I wonder if the stuff left on the towpath opposite has anything to do with it, including an outboard and a generator. The past two days we have seen lots of small plastic cruisers in varying states of decay. Once back at our mooring we went for a ride round in the car, ending at The Wharf Inn on the N Stratford for lunch.
