what a day

Tuesday 3rd may (just a warning this is a long blog )

we left our mooring at Cookham around 8.30am we had to fill up with water and do the toilet at Cookham lock , and at least the wind had dropped today which made it a lot easier ,once through the lock we went along Cliveden which was lovely then into maidenhead cut up to Boulter's lock once through the lock the lovely big houses start with some big boat houses to go with them .

love the metal giraffe

once we went through Bray lock  we went under the M4  then we start to get into Dorney and Windsor

we pass this lovely hotel called Oakley court
