Been an on and off day. by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Been an on and off day.

Wellies and wet weather gear on then off sunglasses on then off, gillet on mostly! On and off Teasel to open swing bridges and do the only lock we intend to go through.

Ash Lock emptied out 46 thousand gallons to drop us down, it is the only operational lock in Hampshire. He did the lock grinding, I did the boating, great fun!!

Pop to the darkroom for a tour of Teasel
You look very comfortable at the helm Jackie! That's a lot of water!!
