Left Shillingford bridge at 8.30. The current seemed similar to yesterday so we were still only averaging 3mph.
Moored in abingdon outside the Old Anchor on St. Helens Wharf, and walked to the Old Brewery Tap for lunch. This is a relatively new pub which used to be the Morlands brewery office.
Battled on against the current. At Abingdon Lock we were told that Osney lock was on red boards.
Moored for the night below Folly Bridge. Walked to Osney lock to check out the situation. There was a current of at least 3mph past the moorings above the lock due to the weir just above the lock, which had 2 of its 3 gates open. The red boards say 'Strong Stream'. The lock keeper said that he was not expecting things to improve for a few days.
Went to the Kings Arms to eat then on to the Turf Tavern and the Eagle and Child.
