Onwards to Braunston


Moored at Yelvertoft Marina
Having caught up with Barry we did move on to Yelvertoft Marina, mooring the opposite end from where we started.  Got caught up with the washing, just spending the one night there.  We then headed on to Crick arriving there on Thursday.

On Friday Lisa and Phil arrived for the night.  The weather was lovely so we were able to cruise through Crick Tunnel and wind, then mooring for lunch before heading back to moor one boat length from where we started, but facing the other way!
Just to make sure we know where we are!

Had a pleasant evening visiting the hostelries in Crick and a meal in The Red Lion.  They headed on after breakfast on Saturday, then yesterday we winded again and headed down the Watford Locks.  Not so many as Foxton and no Gongoozlers!  7 locks here with 4 of them in a staircase.  We had a short wait at the top, but then with 3 lock keepers it was a swift easy passage down through.  This morning we have had a short cruise to the junction and are now moored at Norton Junction which is on the Grand Union Canal proper.  This goes from London to Birmingham.  Tomorrow we will head into Braunston.
