We are at Catherine de Barnes and should be at Camp Hill Locks tomorrow at about 9:30. Hopefully the weather will hold off until the afternoon.
We had a very smooth climb up the remaining 19 locks of the Hatton flight in 2 hrs 45 mins. One of the Norwegian crew of an opposite direction boat asked why Pat wanted their offside bottom gate closed when they left the lock ahead of us. Surely it will only open again when you go into the lock". "No!"; said the english group leader. "It won't They have an english boat!"
Today was warm and sunny with scattered cloud, but still that chilly wind persists. Knowle Locks are so exposed and the boat blows around at the most inconvenient times. Ever onwards arriving Catherine de Barnes at 14:15.
