Overnight the weather was overcast but remained dry.
Morning: Early breakfast and and early start. Paired up with another narrowboat (Lola) to share the locks. Ate lunch on the move.
Afternoon: It was changeover day at Wyvern Shipping Co boatyard in Linslade. It was manic with boats pointing every which way. The boatyard were working the boats through the first lock and giving some hands on training at the same time.
Evening: We shared a few locks with a newbie crew and gave them a few hints and tips. It was a late finish for us. Ripper Street on TV being the favourite choice.
