A’s First Voyage: Day 12

Cowroast – Kings Langley

We shared locks all day with a lovely couple on Freedom No.1. They were heading for a prebooked mooring and were keen to get underway as soon as CRT came out and unlocked the gates.

I helped out through Berko with BoatBaby fast asleep by the time we were at Gas Two locks. Sadly the enforced early stop the previous day meant we missed out on a drink at the Rising Sun!

We had another enforced stop above Hemel with CRT finishing some works. It turns out we were some of the first boats through after an extended winter stoppage.

We took on some diesel at Winkwell and I stayed inside with A most of the afternoon as the weather was a bit grim and he was a bit grizzly. James and the guys on Freedom made great progress though.

We tied up just inside the M25. Really feels like we are in London now!
