After putting the first red gloss coat on the hearth we unpinned FL, stopped before the bottom lock to fill the water tank, when this task was completed we entered the first of nine locks in the Napton flight at midday. Two and half ours later we were exiting the top lock. Adjacent to the top lock there is always some interesting cars stored on the canal bank.
We cracked on and got moored up just in time after Ladder bridge to watch Team GB top their group after beating NZ.
