Hooray - a dry morning, until lunchtime - so we boated on to Yelvertoft Marina for a pumpout where by chance we encountered some new friends aboard narrowboat Harmony, as they moved away from their marina mooring. We followed them down to Crick, where we we moored and the heavens opened once more. We think we have problems, but seeing the surface water at Silverstone we have got away lightly today.

Thank goodness we chose not to do the Leicester ring as the River Soar is in flood and we would have to have moored up and waited for the level to subside, or worse, turned round.
