A blustery day as we headed for Broadmoor Lock, EHC's crew headed us and lifted a bottom paddle as they left each lock which aided our progress to the top of the Claydon flight of five locks.
My rope work lesson continued today under the watchful eye of sea dog Gordon, today's lesson was spicing. I now have neatly spliced eyes in all the new rope's I purchased at last years Crick show ready to be used at the start of next years cruising season.
We spent a couple of hours in the
Wharf Inn with glasses of Wychwood Piledriver, we also partook in the extensive menu which was very good indeed. Another nice evening in good company.
