Day 43 – Theale to Newbury
Getting really bored of writing this blog now.
Can’t wait till it’s over and I can have a rest.
Leaving Theale
Today leaving Theale after my flooding incident at Garston locks.
The boat is more or less dried out.
Here’s a picture of a locks similar to Garston.
As you can see, the spouts of water project from under the gate, and in my case straight into the bow area.
On my case, it came up to the windows on the door, and started flowing in the frame.
Pulling the boat to the front of the locks is not a good idea with locks of this design.
Had it got worse, it would have come in through the wall vents.
Still, it’s fixed now.
I need to pick up a relay switch, because the horn no longer works. …
