The full 7hrs and 38 minutes of it.
Got some more pictures in….
First from the Queen’s house – Frogmore Cottage.
Prince
Harry used to hole up here, a while back when he first got married to Meghan. It’s an estate house with a golf course behind Windsor castle.
The highland cattle peer out over the Thames from the raised concrete embankment.
It’s terraced avenue of oak trees lean out over the Thames, reflecting in the waters and dropping their leaves.
Rather a posh spot.
There’s lots of signs telling you not to moor up, it’s the Queen’s estate or whatever.
Full day
Apart from a 20 minute stop for lunch, and another 20 minutes having to manually operate the locks at Belvale, it’s been a full day of sailing.
I would write more, but I’m not going to bother.
The map says enough.
Here’s the pictures from today.
River Steps House – Gibraltar Lane – Marlow – Thames Clivedon House Gardens – Cookham – Thames Frogmore Manor – WIndsor – Thames Albert Bridge – Windsor – River Thames Bell Weir Lock – Egham – Thames

Wow you have done well today. The weather has been lovely so I suspect you enjoyed cruising along on the Thames. The scenery looks rather lovely. It certainly beats the M25 and M40 to Oxford. Tomorrow is another lovely day I think though may be a little colder than today but still nice for cruising. Hopefully, you will break the back of the journey tomorrow and then you can chill and take your time a little.
Happy travels x
