total mileage 586.2 miles
Another short
day’s travel today, and no locks, so all in all an easy day today. The trip
involved going up the Wendover arm of the canal which is currently undergoing restoration
so it is only possible to get about 1½ miles along it. It is quite a shallow
piece of canal so with the size of our boat it has been necessary to travel
quite slowly since we are alomost on the bottom. All increasing the engine
speed does is move more water but it doesn’t make the boat go any faster!
Looks like
we’ll have another easy day tomorrow, at least in terms of distance, since CRT
are shutting the canal at bridge 125, Seabrook Swing bridge, to carry out some
repairs. Due to this we will only be able to go as far as Marsworth Junction
which is only a couple of miles although there are 7 locks between here and
there.
