Cropredy

My bank contacted me this morning because there has been fraudulent activity on my credit card, (thieving scumbags) good job the bank is on the ball. It would of been a pain having to receive a new card if we weren't going home next week.

Set of at 11am the sun was peeking out from behind some clouds, before long it was shining all the way. After taking the left hand bend at Fenny Marina the canal starts to close in, at Fenny Compton 'Tunnel' (which isn't a tunnel) there isn't room to pass on coming traffic, lucky for us we were on our own again.

At Claydon locks we caught up with a single hander and Sue helped the grateful skipper through each lock before setting the lock for FL. 10 locks worked in total and we have now moored at Cropredy

Unusual colouring on this beast.

This boat was being pumped out after sinking, obviously someones pride and joy, the rest of the drum equipment was on the bank being dried out along with some large expensive looking speakers.

One of the Claydon flight of 7.

Cropredy Marina, hardly a space left, different to when we passed here last year. LINK
