Jimbo and Eileen vist for the day

We managed to get a good mooring at Rickmansworth on Monday evening in readiness for meeting Jim and Eileen the following day. The logistics worked out perfectly as at Rickmansworth the Tesco supermarket is right on the canal side and they have their own moorings for customers I had also got permission from the Tesco store manager for Jim to leave his car in the car park for the day . We went to the Tesco mooring at about 9.30am and did some shopping ready for our day with Jim and Eileen.  We then got the boat ready and at 10 45am J&E arrived. We had a coffee on board and then set off for our days cruise.  The weather was kind and we had a really enjoyable day managing to do about 8 locks there and back. ( Jim will be sleeping well tonight)

Jim is a bit apprehensive on his first Lock 


One for Dave and Betty our friends at PYC this is their Old boat Minnow still in fine fettle


Jim is now so confident that he is dancing on the lock gates



Time for lunch


Girl power takes over Christine on Helm with Eileen on ropes



What a great picture, it sums up our day


We only left them alone for  5 minutes
