After leaving Abingdon we were subjected to a very heavy shower of rain that lasted for the best part of an hour, then the sun came out and I dried out. A little while later the black clouds appeared again so I donned the full waterproof gear, and, guess what, we had a few spots of rain and that was it!
After six hours cruising (I got the GPS out and checked my speed downstream - wow - 4.5 mph!!) we got to Beale Park and checked out some of the moorings and we were able to get into them okay. However, since my last visit to plan the moorings, some of the trees, bushes and vegetation have grown a bit. Never mind, we will be able to sort it hopefully.
Tomorrow it is on to Reading and hand over the boat for a week to our son Jon.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY... The river is a real source of wildlife, we have seen numerous varieties of the usual ducks, coots and moorhens, plus quite a few Crested Grebe, an Egret, and today we were delighted to see three different Kingfishers, at Abingdon, Benson and Beale Park.
