Tuesday 19th August

It was cold this morning and we had no sooner finished breakfast than it started to rain. There was plenty to do on the boat while we waited for it to stop and we finally set off about 11am.
It was very windy and we knew it would be difficult but as we were only planning to travel a short distance, we decided to take a chance.



Leaving Godmanchester this morning

Almost immediately we had the first and only lock, but that went very smoothly. We then travelled for about an hour without meeting any other craft and finally reached Huntingdon.
There were no mooring places initially but as we were passing, a cruiser decided to leave, and we quickly turned round and took his place.

The A14 Crossing the Great Ouse this is what we look down on when going to the boat at our mooring

Town Bridge at Huntingdon
( 2 bed ground floor apartment in old mill block on left going for £150k)

Huntingdon Church ( unusual style )

The mooring is set in a park and is only 5 minutes from the centre of town. We walked in this afternoon between showers but it is quite small and we are a bit "shopped out" at the moment.
We came back and spent the evening watching the sculling teams out on an evening exercise.
