Fairly early start and then sailed down to
Millmead lock to wait for Adrian and the boys. They were due any time after
10:00 but actually arrived at nearly mid-day. After they arrived we went
through the lock and up to Dapdune wharf where we moored and took on water
while Adrian and the boys looked around. Met a lovely old gentleman in the
Gunpowder house – an old seaman who had done all sorts of fantastic knots. Marion bought a beautiful
coaster that fits the coffee pot perfectly. We then sailed on up to Stoke
bridge where we winded and then went down through Guildford,
up through Millmead lock and moored up for a late lunch at the water meadows.
After the main course (paella, lasagne,
sweet-corn, chips and extra potatoes) we went on to St Catherine’s lock, winded
and returned to the water meadows for dessert. When it got dark we walked Adrian and the boys back
to Millbrook car park.
We returned to MM, cleared up and had an
early night – although tonight we have an extra hour of sleep as the clocks go
back.
6 miles and 2 locks – 3.0 hours
Total 139 miles and 73 locks – 73.4
