A seven fifteen start. Up and away with the larks.
There was very little water under Hallmark but a good heave-hoe at the bow got her shifted.
In think about 'floating' Hallmark I nearly forget to put the tiller on.
I could tell it was going to be a great day.
Wonderful rippleless river and already a scorching day.
First Bourne End with its imposing railway bridge.
Then was almost a four mile run to firstlock at Marlow.
Glorious as ever with its imposing bridge and church sky-line.
Worked the first lock with another two early birds.
Had a easy run to Henley with all three locks in Hallmark's favour.
Arrived before 1.00pm and there were plenty of boats about.
Amazingly there were amazingly plenty of moorings.
Went into Henley for some milk and things at a very expensive Sainsbury Metro.
The town seemed full of dress shops and restaurants and so crowded too
However, Found a wonderful air conditioned Starbucks
Back to the boat for bit of planing and made a great pasta meal.
Below, Hallmark looked great as she sits on its mooring at Henley.
