Batteries charged and advice that the river flow is beginning to ease enabled a tentative restart of the journey on Sunday afternoon. In reality the flow near the locks proved challenging and the poor batteries were again required to deliver full power on a number of occasions. Happily lack of wind made some sections as pleasant as it was all supposed to be!. Word at Abingdon (breakfast arrival) is that Osney Bridge in Oxford is still tricky although the red disc (lock closure) has just been removed. So still hard going ahead. Having left my internet connection 'thingy' at home, I have taken advantage of the local library in Abingdon to write the blog today. A gap on future days this week should not mean I have sunk!
Days Lock looking innocent!
The reality at the weir
