The heatwave continues and we make up some distance.

An early start and we topped up with water and slipped our moorings at 07:50hrs. Thats early for Lin, half the morning's gone for me.

Early morning mist at Wadenhoe Lock.

The sloes are in the hedge at the lock landing.

We made passage through ten locks today, and there was low water along the stretch between Titchmarsh and Islip Locks, apparently an automatic weir had acted on a malfunction and lowered letting thousands of gallons of water out of the pound overnight. Some boats tied up at moorings had a bit of a list on.

Big locks here.

This is the biggest - Irthlingborough Lock

Our stop for the night comes shortly after this lock.
I tried to get our new satellite system working again today but it seems to be configured for the foreign market as reception from the Astra 2 satellite is not possible. So its back to the old piece of welding rod bent into a circle. It works.

I'm going to watch the rest of the Star Trek film - more tomorrow.
