Evening everyone, after leaving nearly 2 days late on Sunday late afternoon instead of Saturday morning  have managed to come up the thames from Sunbury lock, and am now moored near Goring Lock, and passed by the only other Norman boat I've seen on the Thames since last April, Quo Vadas, moored somewhere between mapledurham and Whitechurch I think, is that someone on here?

Hi mike, quo Vadis is my little pride and joy.
Good to know she is still afloat as not been able to get down for a few weeks. How are you enjoying this part of the Thames.
I may be out on Sunday, when are you returning.
Dave.

Hi Dave, photos are really good, unfortunately due to loosing 2 days at the start of our time away (‘spose to go Saturday morning but didn’t go ‘till Sunday evening) and having to be back by Saturday night, only got as far as Cleeve Lock, then had to turn around and start heading back which was a pity.
Now moored at Boulters lock for the night not far from maidenhead, luckily managed to have the hood down most of the way! |
