Having discovered last night that the Middle Levels windlass is not ideal for the locks on the Ouse, we went downstream to the boatyard above the lock to purchase one. They had a good chandlery and we were able to empty the toilet there.
Upstream again heading for Huntingdon for lunch and to pick up Andy. Andy was waiting at the bridge as we moored. Went for lunch in the Old Bridge Hotel. This was very expensive, but good quality food and of course good beer.
After a short lunch we pressed on to St. Neots. We checked out the moorings at the Priory Centre, but they did not feel safe. Also checked the moorings upstream of the bridge, but there were no boats there either. So we went back downstream to the moorings just outside town where there were now two other boats. We moored in front of Lodestar.
Went to the Lord John Russell to eat but they weren't doing any. They recommended another pub nearby, the Olde Sun, so we ate there. Then went back to the Lord John Russell..
