We left Thames and Kennet Marina after our busy week at home, paid a visit to the local Tesco and then headed downstream towards Henley. All going well then it started to drizzle, we decided to continue, then it started to rain. After a quick consultation we started looking for somewhere to moor to have lunch and isn't it always the way, when you are trying to find a suitable spot you can never find one especially when it is pouring with rain! Getting closer to Henley all the time and getting cold and miserable so we decided to press on and get moored up and the fire on - at the end of May!!!!! One more lock and we have hit lunchtime!!!!! Pouring with rain, fed up, hungry and cold, Jenny has to go and operate the self service lock!!!!
Eventually, moored at Henley, had lunch and a cuppa, fire on and our wonderful Rohan waterproofs drying and feeling much brighter. The joys of boating!

Still raining!!!!!
Visited the brilliant River and Rowing Museum today. It is a fascinating place and of course, updated with lots of info from the Olympics and Paralympics. Lots of children and noise because of it being half term but a most enjoyable visit.
Thought about heading off in the afternoon but since it was quite windy and very overcast we stayed put.
