Lots of boats moored and on the move today
A short cutting on the Oxford Canal.
The final day of our journey was bright and sunny. We left Napton at 9:50 after listening to The Life Scientific on Radio 4 and arrived back at our marina at 13:45, filled up with diesel (170 litres!), and returned to our berth. The final step was achieved with some difficulty thanks to the cross wind in the marina which pushed the boat sideways as I tried to slot the 7 foot wide,15 tons vessel itro a gap of about 9 feet.
After mooring we washed the roof and one side of the boat and retired below as black clouds arrived.
