Day One of our Adventure

Tuesday 2^nd July

We were very sad but excited when we left T&K Marina at Caversham this morning.  We are now river nomads, not knowing where we will moor up each time we set off.  As a case in point we wanted to moor up at Marlow this afternoon and spend a couple of days there but it was full, Henley Regatta is having a knock on effect, mooring is so expensive at Henley this week everyone is trying to moor up in Marlow where it is cheaper.  We motored on and have ended up at Cookham, we don’t mind as we love a particular Chinese restaurant here, so no cooking for me tonight!  We are thinking that we might stay here until Sunday as we are pleased to have found a good mooring with lots of restaurants nearby and we can catch a train to Marlow from Bourne End.  Its a 20-30 mins walk to the station, so we will start getting fit now we don’t have a car. I have a hair appointment at Marlow tomorrow, my last English cut and blow dry (ironically my current hairdresser is French!)

D15 our spot at T&K Marina is now vacant.
Happy times spent there

Bye Bye Sonning Bridge, we wont miss you!

Gloriana Royal Barge at Henley
Looks ok, but not very practical, not sure it would cross the channel
and where would you put the BBQ or wine fridge?

Henley marked out for the Regatta
We've been told that if we wanted to moor at our usual spot at Henley
it would cost us £50 a foot (£50 x 60ft = £3,000 a night, it normally costs us £8 for the night!)
