Sunday 6th July

Cambridge to Brandon Creek

Left Cambridge at 705am. The first lock was with us but the second was against us.

Stopped to try to get fuel at Bridge Boatyard in Ely but they were shut. Carried on to Ely marina instead. There were some raft races on, but they were further downstream. After topping up with fuel and water we went back upstream to the vacant mooring we had seen. However this was taken up by a plastic boat so we moored alongside another narrowboat.

Went to eat in the Cutter. They were busy but they squeezed us in. After that Gavin and John went up to the Cathedral in the rain and I went back to the boat to listen to my CDs of the Organ.

Set off downstream again at 1620, stopping to empty the loo then on to the EA mooring by the Ship, which is shallow.

After watching some of the Wimbledon mens final we went to the Ship to eat.
