Ware Boat Festival
Lazy morning, took Muffin for a walk before it got too hot then sat on the front deck in the shade to watch the parade of boats. This was a bit of a shambles, despite the rules stating that they should be very close together and should all go up to the lock to turn around, the boats were 5 minutes apart so I suspect that many boats moored up before doing the full course and we witnessed one boat doing so. After that I watched the boat handling competition which consisted of a 180° turn, touch the priory wharf quay to get off and shake hands with someone, then a 360° turn followed by touching the towpath to get off and shake hands with someone else. In the evening we went to eat in the Punch House followed by some decent beer in the Royal Oak. Shoulda gone Hertford...
