Seabrook, Grand Union canal



Tuesday 29 April 2014 - Seabrook, Grand Union Canal
What have I done for the last two weeks?  Moving slowly my first stop was Hemel Hempstead where I stopped over Easter.  On Good Friday there was an open air service in the town centre with a large turnout.  Sunday was at Hillside Church for their Sunrise Service followed by breakfast and a Morning service which was very informal with a guitarist and singers to lead.

This was followed by a move to Berkhamsted with another weekend spent not moving.  Sunday was a visit to the Baptist Church and a visit to the Kings Arms for lunch, taking the opportunity to advise that the arms displayed were incorrectly painted and in fact were Queen Anne’s!
Monday 28th was a move on to Cowroast on the Tring Summit.  Then the start of the downhill run through the Marsworth Flight.  This was shared with a working boat Jules’s Fuels which included refuelling a boat going up in a lock!  Once through the Swing Bridge I have moored ready to face the Seabrook locks on the way to Leighton Buzzard.

I have spent time clearing out stuff that has been in the lockers since the boat was new and am trying to reduce the library.

Other Braidbar boats seen have been no 64 Nuggler at Berkhamsted and 106 Up Spirits on the Marsworth flight.

Weather has been changeable but predominately sunny with any rain overnight.
