thought I would post some pictures from our bank holiday cruise.

friday night headed up to Cliveden - had a bit of a wait at boulters as the lock was shut for an hour due to some problem, but was an excuse to start on the beers and chat to others.

Great Pics :-) If I had know you were moored at Temple Lock I would have popped over on the inflatable for a beer. We were sat on the boat on our Marina berth at Temple
 
Nice photos. Saw you there but didn't get a chance to say hi as I was heading for the lock and in trouble for not giving the crew enough time to get the lines out.
 
Great photos, love actually seeing the trips as it gives a feeling of being there.

Due to work commitments we didn't get to go out on our boat of the bank holiday which was a shame as we moor at Harleyford and would have been another to pay a visit....offering a tipple of something of course.

I will keep an eye out for you next time.
 
Looks like you had a relaxing weekend. More than we could say. Despite some horrific weather forecasts we decided to poke our bow out into the Wash on Sunday and met up with this......

All photos were taken from the other boat we were getting too wet to consider getting the camera out!!

Just out of the Witham cut

The trip boat that set off at the same time as us made it about a mile out before heading back for some shelter in the River Welland. His "guests" were all ill. We had a good time but decided to head back in on a four hour tide in favour of finding a pub and some food!!
