White water at Holme Pierrpoint
We awoke at Home Lock to blue skies and noise bankside. Considering we were moored against a concrete quay which was the height of the roof of the boat I went to investigate and discovered a group of geese and ducks looking down at me. We walked down to investigate the lock before it opened at 9.30 and watched canoeists at the British Squad training site. 
These locks are big!
Fortunately the locks have keepers between 9.30 and 5pm. We came through with a friendly bunch of people on a variety of shapes and sizes of boats and chatted to the crew on a lovely Dutch Barge called Anja.

It's sunnier today
Graham sneaked this one in whilst we were waiting to enter Castle Lock in Newark.
Our view from the window tonight
We are so lucky to have some lovely places to moor. This is the view from Banjo and it is lovely and all lit up tonight. Tomorrow we will head for Cromwell Lock, weather permitting, the last lock before the 45 miles of tidal trent and life jackets - eek!
