And, Ummm... Marlow Again!

Still not sleeping well, still up early, but resist the temptation to set off early and leave Windsor just after 8.30. The river is a lot busier boatwise than when we came down some 4 weeks ago, it seemed like we had it to ourselves then, but a lot more boats out and about now, must factor in that it's the weekend too!

Back through Boveny, Bray, Boulters Cookham and Marlow locks, all shared with other boats and with other boats coming down. Back through places where I walked and fished as a child, passing some 2 or 3 miles from where I was born.

Brunel's Railway Bridge at Maidenhead:

Approach to Boulters lock:

Ummm... so where exactly is Cookham lock?

We took the last mooring in Marlow, intending initially to go shopping and move on a bit, but after lunch and shopping it started to rain, so we stayed in Marlow for the night, the forecast looks ok for tomorrow so we'll put a shift in.

Lazed around and drank wine, took an after dinner walk, seems to be a number of weddings going on. River a lot quieter now.
