Swaning around and goodbyes

Again we got up to bright sunshine on our mooring outside The Bridge Inn, so had breakfast out in the cratch. We were soon joined by a friend......

who decided to have breakfast with us....

We then made our way up to Braunston and the tunnel. With it being half term week this section was so busy. We followed five other boats and passed six, but it made it very interesting. We had some fun in the tunnel which is over a mile long, we passed another four boats and the last one decided to ram Derwent6 by steering down the centre of the tunnel and not giving us enough room to pass, we were nearly stationary. They must pay more licence fee than we do because he definately felt he had the right of way. Still on checking....no damage done.

We got back up to Norton Junction and reversed back up to the water point. Len & Terry unloaded their stuff and after another meal in the nearby Chef and Brewer they made their way home. Thanks both for a lovely week......
