After a good 3 days on a mooring that was “not a mooring”.. time to move on. After the footfall and boats from the weekend, yesterday was like a ghost town.. No boats.. No people.. So we risked another day and decided to move on Tuesday. Loads of friends over on Sunday – towpath overtaken […]
Needed to get a pump out today – so back to Molesey lock as they have a pump out station. The pump out charge on the Thames is still £10.. a very good price – and possibly still not enough to cover the maintenance of the machines – but I’m not going to complain (between […]
Left Hampton Court.. and the rowdy boat behind.. which made for a fun day.. not! Arrived at Moelsey lock – and to CC’s joy.. the lock was on self service – no lock keeper as he was checking the weir over. Got through the lock, and pulled up to fill the water tank once more, […]
Yep.. Were back in Hampton Court again 🙂 and its a much better day today (Anna must be in a better mood – the suns out!). Everything was finished in Kingston, so were good to leave and keep going this time. There are some nice cruisers between Kingston and Hampton Court.. would I want one.. […]
A grey and windy day in Kingston today. We left the mooring in West Molesey after trying to assist Rob ( moored up with us in Moelsey yesterday ) with a dead engine battery on a boat he’s only had for a week! – unfortunately, the jump leads he had were not long enough to […]
Another morning run needed today, from one 24 hour mooring to another.. All the cats were back on late last night, so we didn’t have to hang around setting off. Pulled out and made our way to Molesey Lock, up and through the lock and onto the landing stage which has a water point. No […]
Time to move on.. our ‘slight’ overstay on this 24 hour mooring is up – and I’m fed up with the concrete taking chunks out of my paintwork (must remember to get some descent large fenders when I can).. so onto Hampton Court we go – hopefully there will be a spot for us there.. […]
Another quick relocation yesterday after Anna arrived back from a party at Jo Jo’s.. We had to wait as there are rowers all over the place practising and training.. so waited for them to clear before pulling out. Staying here today (with luck) as were expecting Lisa and Sarah to pop in and say hello […]
Quick run this morning just to move from John Lewis over to the Richmond side of the river. Whilst it was surprisingly quiet last night.. its still not dog and cat friendly having a 6 foot wall next to the boat – and no grass.. so we moved over to the other side as […]
Saw this by the lock at Brentford.. had to take a photo.. 🙂 And now.. over to our guest bloggers for this edition (I’m driving.. there logging! ) ( By Dawson ) I woke up and heard Keith and Anna talking and, of course by accident, i fell back to sleep, and then suddenly i […]
