Hawkesbury Junction

No crises today then!  We were first up Atherton Locks and had the benefit of the help from descending boaters for the last five.  I discovered the working side pond at lock six and it actually works.  The pond was at bywash level when I opened the paddle and actually dropped a foot filling the first half of the lock. It might have dropped more, but Pat had already opened one top paddle.   Pressing on, without overdue haste, we reached Hawkesbury Junction by 14:30 and found a mooring on the Oxford side just being vacated by another boater.   And I made the turn in one!
