3 Locks, 10.47 Miles. Now moored at Braunston
We hadn’t planned on leaving Rugby until Monday but today turned out to be a good day for a cruise not to be missed. After hibernating in the boat for the last few weeks it was good to spend the day out in the fresh air despite the temperature. Quite a lot of other boaters had the same idea.
Lunch of soup and toast was taken on the run due to clouds gathering to the North giving a slight urgency to our reaching Braunston ASAP. As it was we had some light drizzle about 30 minutes before we reached our destination but nothing too serious. Two mooring sites were trialled before we made satellite contact for TV reception. Nearby are Paul & Lynne on Nb Piston Broke who we will pay a visit some time tomorrow.
Reading Mo and Vanessa’s blog of Nb Balmaha it sounds like their brains are vegetating with all this hibernating. Might we suggest a Nintendo DSI machine for keeping the brain alive. We bought one for Xmas and like a lot of this computer gadgetry it left me cold to start with but a few quiet sessions I have finally mastered it AND learnt how to do Soduku which has been a complete headache up until now. It has certainly helped while away the hours while we have been unable to do anything else.

A Nintendo? She's got one and it's made such a difference to the noise level onboard.
I daren't have a go, I've got a brain-age of 21 to beat.
Not sure what you mean about whiling away the hours, there's never enough hours in the day as it is. So much to do, so little time to do it, woe is me....
Glad you're still stirring the waters. Roll on spring.
