Braunston was busy...

Wednesday morning graced us with a warm, sunny sky, and we set off down to the junction and turned west towards Braunston. We'd been passed by very few boats in either direction, so we anticipated an uninterrupted journey through Braunston Tunnel and down the locks.


It wasn't quite like that, though, but never mind. It was a lovely day, we shared the locks with friendly folk on NB King's Gambit, and the hold-ups did nothing to take the smiles off our faces. 








We'd been asked to moor as close to AJ Canopies' base as we could, but Braunston was busy - it usually is - and we finally found a mooring quite a distance from ideal, right down by Braunston Turn, opposite The Boathouse restaurant.



I called AJ to tell them where we were, and one of their team arrived soon after. He did a great job on our cratch cover, and left within an hour. Grace went out for a stroll, to recce our winding at the junction the next morning, Business done, we'll go back to the marina now.
