Boat put to rights

2nd September

Kindly Tim Barfield came to our aid this morning. At first he thought it was a dead battery, but turns out the problem was the split charge relay and after an hour or so we were on our way again and only £100 lighter.
Last evening we had visions of 3 figure sums, with Pete taking advice from his son over the phone; test this, test that etc.

Still we had a lovely evening, it being a baking hot day. A pint at the Anglers, with Dara O'Brien at the next table, then back to eat in the bow, whilst an enormous amount of hard working rowers and canoeists swarmed past us at regular intervals. And people on the opposite bank sat outside their chalets eating and drinking and enjoying the warmth.

I love the water in this weather as the evening light changes, it positively changes colour through blue/greys to golden to pink tinged. Can't capture it by camera, try as I might.

Here are my attempts - they need some photoshop enhancement to do the river any justice!
