Today we set off in the usual fashion with the boys cycling along the tow path and Sara and I moving the boat – however we didn’t move far or fast for the first 30-45mins as we had to wait on a large boat coming up the four locks on the far side of the basin. It was good to get moving once it was through the locks and we could get on our way.
We worked our way through the various locks until lunch time, when we parked up at a lovely spot just before a real pretty lock. Lockkeepers lunch break is from 1230 – 1330…………and so is ours 🙂

and here are the boys ready to set off again

Our planned destination for today was a town called Bram which we reached around 1600 and after parking the boat we went into the cafe/restaurant that is alongside, but in truth it was a bit shabby, so another quick crew meeting was held and the decision was to try and reach Sauzens before the lockkeeepers went off duty at 1900.

We didn’t make it in time so moored up just before the lock, had a lovely meal, and then the boys went out fishing again. It wasn’t long before Prentice landed a decent sized fish. I’ll let you know later if there were any further fish landed……………..
