Petroc has had 3 weeks in the Marina at Cropredy, a lot of the time with Geoff on board and occasionally with me on board. There has been a round of grand daughter sitting, house sitting and animal sitting. I even had to lock chickens and ducks up for the night on Sunday, much against my better judgement, and let them out again the morning.
BUT we are off at last. We broke free just before lunch today and travelled all of 0.64 miles to the bottom of Cropredy lock! All systems go now.........we have just about 5 weeks and we may just make it as far as Oxford.
Things seem busy on the canals and there were quite a lot of hire boats around today, obviously making up for lost time as we are.
Banbury calls tomorrow and we hope to find a reasonable spot to moor away from all the dreadful building work in the centre.
