It was much cooler last night, the weather station measured just over freezing point and there was frost on the grass. The mist was rising off the water and now the imagination bit, the full moon was right above the lock but didn’t come out on the photo.
It was a little later when we set off this morning with the locks against us, needless to say we had just done the first when a boat came along behind us, so I drew the top paddles and we waited for them in the next lock down. We met a couple of boats at lock 3 but even then the bottom one was against us. We carried on along the Grand Union Canal to Wigrams Turn or Napton Junction where we turned right keeping on the Gran Union.
Our destination for the night was to moor above the Calcutt lock and visit Kevin and Vicky on their boat moored in the marina.
