31 March - We are off!

Well we are off!  The morning dawned bright and clear - which meant it had been a cold night with a thick frost and ice on the inside of the windows.
Jess's friend Jane was meeting us for the day.  She drove to the sailing club, where I met her, left my car at the club and the two of us drove back to the marina - hey presto a car at each end!
We settled our bill at the marina and moved out.  The current was quite strong but we had a great trip across to Theale (10 minutes by car, 3 hours by boat)
Moored up next to Theale swing bridge just after 3pm for a late lunch.  Jess and I drove Jane back to her car to collect it.
