Slowly de-frosting in a 5 mile stretch of water

Feeling like a pair of frozen turkeys we are slowly thawing; the works on the Stoke Bruerne locks are pretty much on schedule to re-open on 24th February. It seems strange to see all of these deliberately empty pounds (as against leaks and vandalism). Until they re-open we have a 5 mile run down to Cosgrove to play in. I'm off to Mum's again on Thursday so, hopefully, we'll be able to break out by the time I return.

Of course, all these repairs have necessitated temporary mooring restrictions
