Tuesday 12th May 2009 Billing Aquadrome - Northampton Washlands

We had a very windy night on the boat as we were on a very exposed mooring. We were surprised to find we were still in the same position this morning!
At 1000hrs as arranged we struggled against the wind to the boatyard within the marina, who duly fitted three new batteries.
By 12midday we were on our way but decided that we would not venture far today as we were both tired. We went through three locks and by 1400hrs we were moored in the washlands.
It offers a bit of seclusion from the wind and it was a gloriously sunny afternoon. Tom washed one side of the boat and I pottered about quite happily. We wanted to have a rest as tomorrow we will be tackling Northampton and joining the Grand Union Canal.
