First Day - Hunton Bridge

Arriving at the marina for the start of our cruise to the Saul Festival we found the boat extremely dirty with dust and dead tree flowers. An hour was spent unloading the car and stowing the result. Then it was time to leave, but the engine starter battery did not have enough juice to start the engine. The domestic batteries supported by the solar panels are always OK, so a jump lead dis the trick and we set off, initially for TESCO at Rickmansworth to stock up the larder. The weather was overcast but warm following early morning rain, but soon the sun came out and it heated up again. After a lunch stop above Lot Mead Lock, the clouds returned and by Cassio Locks the heavens opened to finish off my work on the roof with the mop. It continued raining until Hunton Bridge, where we moored past the bridge on the corner. Its deeper water there. No Freeview signal, but we have just about got an analogue one. Tonight we are trying for an Indian.
