We didn't get to bed until 1am this morning so decided on a lunchtime start to Peterborough. It was very blustery but at least it was dry.
Terry, Carol, Alan and Pam saw us off at Yarwell Lock which was a bit of a tearjerker - can't believe we are really on our way.
Despite the strong winds, we had a fairly uneventful trip through the four locks to Peterborough Yacht Club in approximately 4 hours of gentle cruising. One slight hiccup was when a teenager doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award fell in the river in front of us while attempting to get on her canoe. She was rescued by her fellow team members but not before Chris had a little panic!!
We spent a quiet evening at PYC after taking on diesel, water etc in preparation for the uncharted territory tomorrow.
Have got some pictures to post but will have to add them at a later date as our download speed is not good here.
