Here we are, looking through the wet to Welton Hythe Marina, just north of Norton Junction, still in the Grand Union Leicester section. We set out this morning and covered 7 locks and 20 miles. All day we saw the clouds move and somehow managed to be in the patches of sun. Only when we cruised by Crick did we catch any drops at all and it was over in moments. We spotted threatening clouds after Watford flight when we were considering whether to moor up or cruise on towards Braunston. Rapidly scanning the bank for a mooring, we managed to tie up, walk Josie and pour the drinks before the heavens opened. This is what we call smugly moored.
