Froud's Bridge Marina

Saturday 15th September, 2012 at Froud's Bridge Marina.
A golden morning, absolutely still. As the sun rose, M stood on the stern deck with her cup of tea, watching a hot air balloon drift lazily by.
We set off the short distance to Froud's Bridge Marina, where MM is booked in for a few days while we go back home for R's belated surprise birthday treat. We had moored MM at Froud's Bridge Marina back in June on our way west and had found it to be a very pretty and well maintained marina.
We filled up with water and diesel and had a pump-out at the marina before taking MM to her berth. We were very surprised to see that nb "Dragonfly" was moored up there.
We walked along the towpath for a mile to Aldermaston railway station and caught the train home. We will be back next Friday.
Today: 1 mile, 1 lock and 1.0 hour.
Trip: 275 miles, 287 locks and 231.4 hours (384.1 total).
