Up the Thames

We were booked to lock out with nb Sanity at 14:15 which is what we did.  The water in the lower pool was very choppy with many trip boats and we were obviously causing a problem for them further up river when they wanted to maneouvre to moor.  With a 6.9 metre tide, both gates at Thames Lock were open,so it was a straight run through. Bruce and Sheila were very kind to invite me for dinner and another pleasant evening was spent.  Sunshine and an easterly wind.
