Date - 01 /05/08 Day - Thursday Start - 0845 End - 1700 Below Cowley Lock We woke to another fine day but the weather forecast was very poor for the day. In the end we only had two heavy showers all day and some very pleasant sunshine. We had just set off when a community boat "Dick's Folly" caught us up, as Diana was off the boat walking the dog I waved them past and caught them up at the next lock. As they were working the lock and I was in mid channel I threw the "Dutton Doublet" ally windless to Diana on the towing path, unfortunately it fell several feet short into the cut, so my name was mud. We did all the locks to Stocker's Lock with them where we caught up with another boat and they went down with them. We did meet a few boats today and stopped for lunch just above Widewater Lock. After lunch we continued on to stop for the night on the end of the 24 hour moorings just bellow Cowley Lock. We had been here for about an hour when a pair of boats came down the lock, winded and moored behind us well into the winding hole. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
