We slipped the Lines and off we go

It was a very exciting  start to the day, we were up quite early and the weather looked overcast but the wind had dropped to a very light breeze.

We all had breakfast then we set about getting Tacet ready for the off, so we untied the the mooring lines and slipped away from Kingfisher Marina which had been our mooring for a year.

We have enjoyed the time at the Marina but were so very excited to be off on our year out.

We slowly made our way towards Stoke Bruerne and only passed one other boat moving until we arrived at he bottom of the locks.

No one around to buddy up with so off we went alone, the first 3 locks had boats coming down so very happy days, the sun had come out and we were enjoying the wonderful weather.

At the 3rd lock a young family were watching, so not one for letting people stand around I got the 3 young kids (with mum ) to help open the gates and to my surprise they helped with the next 2 locks.
What a lovely family, they even thanked us for letting them help.

We decided to moor on the long pound as CRT are working on the towpath in Stoke Bruerne, we were not sure on moorings in Stoke Bruerne.

So not very far travelled today but we have a whole year to do what we want, what a lovely start to our Adventure.


Distance Travelled 3 Miles. 5 Locks and 2 hours 10 mins.
