Apart from a couple of stiff lock gates, and a heavy swing bridge, managing with a minimal crew has not been a problem.
The weather has been really nice all day, not too hot, not too cold, though occasionally a slightly troublesome breeze has appeared - timed, of course, to convince the world that Vagabond is being crewed by novices!
This is Heywood Wharf - unlike many wharves, a really nice place:
We stopped for a nice lunch at the Barley Mow in Upper Heyford - so nice, that I forgot to take a photo of it...
We are currently moored in the middle of nowhere, enjoying the evening sunshine.
7.5 miles, 5 locks and 1 lift bridge today.
