We spent the weekend getting to the moorings at Foxton Top Lock - fabulous weather, lots of fun and laughter. And a good rest for me from steering, and I got to do some locks. In the main, Barry steered and I also got to sit inside through two tunnels - yay!!
The following photos are courtesy of Barry - which accounts for their high quality!

| Barry set up the camera on the stool after we'd done the painting so we could have some group shots |

| And the flag |
 |
| Here we all are - both Barry and I changed from our painting clothes to look more respectable ... |
 |
| And just the two of us |

And again!

What a fab way to spend your last w/e aboard.
Bon voyage and look forward to seeing you out cruising next year!

Dear Marilyn,
So we have put WaL to bed today... Right next to Waka Huia!!!! You should have said you were at Debdale too. Pity we missed each other I would have liked to have met you. Do you overwinter yourselves as well as the boat? Down under? We enjoyed an amazing 6 week holiday in NZ last winter. Can't wait to go again.
Maybe we'll meet in the spring?

K&A, it was lovely to see you both again at Norton. And we look forward to seeing you early as poss next season. It was a fab weekend - such lovely weather and beautiful scenery and time spent with really good friends.
Take care to keep warm over winter. Big hugs, M&Dxox
Bloody hell, Lisa,
We must have just missed you! We arrived back at the boat at about 3.30ish yesterday to drop off clean washing (a reversal of the usual kids bringing washing home to Mum and Dad's in that we took it all to our son's place in Scotland). We were gone again by 4.30 and headed to Titchmarsh to stay with friends. I took a photo of WaL and Waka Huia side by side looking like best buddies ... The boat will go up on the hard in the next couple of weeks and we will be back in late May - let's hope we can organise to get together sometime soon after that.
Cheers, Marilyn
