9th April 2013 - Abingdon to Sandford

A cold wet morning.  Had a look around Abingdon Chandlers until the rain stopped, made a few (expensive) impulse purchases and set off up the lock, just catching the lock keeper before he went to lunch. Arrived at Sandford lock about 3pm and a quick vote amongst the scurvy crew (democracy rules!) agreed we were too cold so we moored up above the lock.

After a warming cuppa, ventured out to complete the fitting of our cratch cover.  Our old cover was completely shot.  New covers cost upwards of £600 so in true Harrassed-Millington fashion we scavenged one out of a skip that had been thrown away.  Perfectly good one - and it fits!

Ceilidh with her nice new cratch cover (with porthole windows!)
