We made it safely back to the boat after a lovely evening at the “Cape of Good Hope” where the bar was taken over with a guy’s bday party. Learned new game of darts called “Cricket”. Slept like babies and woke to the alarm at 6am for an early start up the Hatton flight of 21 locks.
The winding gear on these large double locks is unique, which is just as well as its hard work.
