Andy arrived at 10.30 and as Town lock was set against us we waited for a boat to come the other way before starting. At Thames lock we had to use the gate on the outer pound as the level on the Thames was back to normal.
Bought a one month licence at Shepperton lock.
Moored near Laleham and walked to the Feathers where we had a good roast beef lunch.
After lunch we went the short distance to Staines where we moored on the east side. Went for a drink in the Swan on the west side and decided to move to their moorings. No sooner had we started tying up than a waitress appeared demanding a £10 mooring fee refundable against purchases in the pub.
Andy then left to cycle back to his car in Weymouth. Later on Andy from work arrived and we went for a few more beers in the Swan and I had my second Eggs Benedict of the hoiday.
