Foxton Locks

Sorry for the lack of posts, i've been literally too tired to even think. Traveling single handed in a narrow boat has really taken its toll on me, but i've learned alot about myself and how much more I can give when my life depends on it, quite literally at times. No task is too tough and no problem unsolveable.
Well Jasmine and I are waiting at Foxton Locks for our slot, we've got about 2 hrs to wait then it's a short 2hr cruise to Welford marina, 3 days rest for Jasmine and a train home to London for me.

There be pirates...

This is a tugboat, imported from Holland, and occupied by a crazy looking guy called Darren, he also seemed to be enjoying that there is no drink-boating limit
On the back of the boat, under that canopy is a hot tub, yes, a hot tub. I'll go back and see darren one day. Hopefully he will have installed a sauna on a canoe...

Lessons learned...

Well I nearly went in today, I jumped from my boat to a concrete platform outside of a lock, and slipped, the Trent is under flood conditions so running at twice the speed. I'll take more care next time.

Flock of swans!

Never seen anything like this before!

Stopping off for a refreshing pint :-)
