Lots of paddle-boarders, kayakers and a good number of families in swimming-pool quality inflatables enjoying the sunshine on the river when I was relaunched and motored down to my mooring yesterday afternoon. I was genuinely happy for everyone who was able to enjoy the unusual peace and safety of a normally crowded and hectic place. My own happiness was almost but not quite dented when, on the way downriver, a very large motorboat kept coming at me on my side of the channel: so I held the course and speed of my very little ship and when I got really close he chickened out! So it'll soon be business as usual again - best enjoy the civilised quiet whatever the restrictions!
