Lunchtime Cruise

Saturday, 3rd December 2011
Drove up to 'Many Meetings' and drilled a hole through the weedhatch wall below the waterline. Used a rubber sink plunger to seal the hole from the water-side while I drilled it and fitted a bulkhead fitting and a tap. I then attached the pipe from the stern gland to this fitting.
Sailed up to bridge 177 and turned just south of Copper Mill Lock, where we stopped and had lunch.
Returned to Harefield. The stern gland neither squeaked nor leaked.
Hours 111.1 - Miles 4 - Locks 4.
