Have I made a wrong decision?

The dilemma of what to do about today's moorings was resolved when Ian took out his trusty binoculars and looked across the river to the opposite bank. Lots of signs along the wall to view and. sure enough, free 24-hour council moorings were available and a handy space further along the bank for FS to fit into.

FS nestled between the two white cruisers on last nights mooring. We moved across to a gap near to those last boats on the left.

Before we moved a trip to Aldi was needed to stock up supplies. It turned out to be a very expensive trip because I happened to spy a Jessop and popped in for a look. Oh dear, I have only gone and purchased a Panasonic FZ2000 which hopefully will replace the Canon. An impressive zoom of 24mm to 400mm means I can take a wide angle as well as telephoto. Just hope I won't live to regret the decision because I part exchanged my Canon to get it. Photos tomorrow will be the test 'cos the battery needs to be charged first.

Took about 5 minutes to wind and move across the river. One downside to this mooring, the concrete edge overhangs the piling so a very quick dash down below to grab the fenders and hang from the handrail before our cabin side was damaged.

Tomorrow we do a couple of miles to Teddington. We know we have to pay to stay overnight but that's preferable to getting up at a silly o'clock on Thursday to get to the lock for 7am. We should be onto the tidal bit by 7.15am.Ah, I have just seen the weather forecast for Thursday and it's rain all day. Looks like wet weather gear will be a must then.
