Monday night was cold, so cold that we woke to ice on the canal. The day started sunny and warmed up quickly, but still cold enough to require coats, woolly hats and gloves.
We decided to aim for Crick by Thursday, with our first stop at Hillmorton Locks, second Norton Junction then home. The sun shone all day and the chug down to Hillmorton was the best for days, on arrival we met a guy who said that the weather was going to deteriorate, and there would be gale force winds by Thursday.Flo suggested we might consider continuing towards Braunston, then an early start on Wednesday and heading back into Crick by Wednesday evening. This was sensible as under high winds Crick marina is a bugger to negotiate.
We plan on spending a couple of days living on the boat to do services and general cleaning. All part of the joy of boating.
This is us signing off now until our next outing, which should be with the family up towards Banbury and back in April.
