I'm sitting here at Marlow being bounced up and down by those chase boat thingys the rowers use, must be doing lots of knots more than the speed limit. Does it not apply to them? Outboard powered motor boats. Ok the wash they produce is much less than I would at that speed, but still very noticable, bugger, just spilt my drink.

Sorry not at Marlow any more, I'd gone to bed by 23:06. But I was on the towpath side alongside some sort of park, about 200 yds up from the bridge. At Sonning as I write this.

Higginson Park. Would have brought you a coffee...
Has mooring up been pretty easy so far? You photo make it look like mostly proper moorings with rings for your lines. Not much need for mooring pins so far?

On the way back? Or if it's as warm as this, I'll find you a cold beer 
I did stop just above Sonning lock and had to use my shiny new mooring pins. They've got muddy now

Had a phone call from Mike (Doolittle) last night giving bad news about Sonning Bridge, on this mooring. Note the generator to power the microwave for my supper. Having indulged lunchtime at Bray, something simple was called for, even with the pull of all those nice restaurants in Marlow.
At that time it was unclear what the closure was, visions of not making it to Ashmount.
All the info we had was that the bridge would be closed at 2:00pm, if only the EA had said that just a few hours was likely, then no problem. Dear Eileen
As it was I was up and away at 6:30am, to make certain I was at sonning by 2:00pm. Worked Temple, Hurley and Hambledon all on my own. I must say the river was fabulous at that time of the morning.
Had the benefit of power at Hambledon, and the lock keeper came on duty just as I was leaving, so I didn't have to empty the lock.
Made passing friends with a couple in a narrow boat, they seemed astounded that you could even get to sea from the Thames 
By the time I got to Wargrave the sun was scorching hot, had to put my bimini up! Stopped above Sonning lock for a few hours to catch up on some kip.
On Tesco's mooring at Reading tonight.
Will wait for Tony (B1) to catch up tomorrow, and we'll head on up to Ashmount in convoy.
