Thursday 14th August

Thank goodness it was dry and sunny today, although there was still a chill in the air. We were intending to move on but had to wait for Wayne, the mechanic to come to do a final test on the batteries.
Luckily we had plenty of jobs to catch up on as he didn't turn up until 3pm. In the meantime Jeanette and Pete turned up. We had met up with them at St Neots Lock the other day going in the opposite direction. They have sold their house and intend to live on their boat permanently summer and winter. They came here to have a look at this marina with a view to mooring here over the winter period. It was good to catch up with them again - that is one of the nice things about the river - you dip in and out of peoples's lives and generally people are very friendly.
Anyway the batteries seem to be okay but by this time it seemed a bit too late in the afternoon to set off, so we plan to leave early tomorrow morning and make our way to St Neots.
