A PS from yesterday: we were delighted to see a grass snake right in front of the boat swimming towards the river bank .
We were undecided about whether to set off this morning as rain was forecast. However since the weather actually looked OK and the weather forecast changed every time we checked we decided to risk it . But the first job was to fill out water tank since there was one available on the St Neots mooring pontoon and there are very few elsewhere on the river.

This was complete by 10am and we untied the mooring ropes and started our journey which took us through isolated countryside with three locks, arriving at Great Barford at 13:20.t The moorings were empty, in fact we had seen no other boats on the move the entire day. The weather had been showery with one long period of quite heavy rain but we were well dressed for the conditions and did not get too wet.
7.92 miles, 3 locks, 3 hours 25 mins.
