After a very enjoyable stay on the Wissey we left the moorings this morning and cruised back to the Great Ouse, turned left and carried on up stream. First stop was the waterpoint about half a mile away. As the last time we filled up was in Cambridge a week ago this was becoming urgent, although measurement with a dipstick did suggest we were perhaps 2 days away from running out.
Then on our way again in strong wind though we were able to keep up a good average speed of over 4mph. We stopped for the day at 12:00 at some isolated EA moorings after about 5 miles. Not a long journey but the travel in the wind wasnt fun. A longer voyage tomorrow as we need to get to Ely to stock up - we have minimal lunches, and are one day away from emergency rations for dinner and breakfast..
