Wet wet wet

It's raining at Houghton - view through the boat window

Bad weather was forecast but the early morning was dry and we had things to do.  So we left at 8:30 but almost immediately the rain started, fortunately very light drizzle.  Within half an hour or so we had cruised downstream to Hartford Marina where the rain stopped and we pumped-out the boat and filled up with water.  We were on the move again an hour later.  The rain restarted and steadily got heavier.  We moored up at 10:40 at the first opportunity at the official moorings just below Houghton Lock and will stay here until the rain stops - forecast for tomorrow morning.
