Cruise Notes: Bright, sunny day and prefect for a run out with Marion on-board. Many more vessels out today than during the week so needed to keep a keen eye out for sailing yachts tacking in front of us. Turned at Bishops Ooze and got Marion to sit in the helm seat, something she was reluctant to do, then headed back in. Chatham Lock gate was open on return so went straight in for lunch.
