Cropredy Marina

 Our travelling today was limited by our concerns about the voltage of domestic batteries. We have arranged to spend the night in Cropredy Marina to get access to an electicity supply to charge the batteries for as long as possible.

The weather was sunny with a cold wind as we set off at 9:35. After ascending 4 locks, all of which we had to empty first as there was a boat ahead of us, we reached Cropredy village. There we stopped for lunch, the first time on this journey when we haven't eaten on the move.   In the early afternoon we turned into Cropredy Marina, paid for the mooring and moved in.
