12th June - The Start: Gloucestershire

About to start the epic voyage - 12 June

Heading off into the unknown - 12 June

First lock - 12 June

Scow in a rural setting - 12 June

Scows & Cows - 12 June

In the dank depths of Rushey Lock, Chris and Wendy on board Star Gazer, presented us with an offer of a lifetime - Saturday night at a Pirates and Wenches party. So whilst the Master Mariner downed his third pint, Figurehead and the Ship's Bimbo spent the afternoon fashioning their outfits from 3 RNLI burgees. Between them.

The Ship's Bimbo, with her usual skill, managed to make it to The Trout without so much as lifting an oar. And got her lunch paid for too. At the same hostelry, the Master Mariner received a fantastic donation from Phil Miles who, coincidentally, has a good friend on the Bembridge Lifeboat crew, Jason Bayliss.

So we finished the day as we began: with a shore party. BSC member Simon Preston, President of the Gloucestershire RNLI, and Penelope, leading the launch party at one end and their son, Mark, and nephew, Philip Blackwell, welcoming us at his boathouse near Appleton, some 20 miles and 11 hours later downstream.

There is no longer a telephone line to Lechlade Marina. Our mast took that out 10 yards out from the slip.
