We had friends for tea yesterday after the deluge had passed (great weather for ducks). Misty this morning but the dawn chorus was just as good as always. The perfect alarm call. Warm and sunny today ,perfect cruising weather. We made good time through Rugby which looks a pleasant place,although we only got to sample Tesco's, before mooring near a collection of radio masts, the tallest being 820 ft. Used to operate the first trans-Atlantic radio link between London and New York in 1926. It now transmits time signals from the Royal Observatory with an accuracy of 1 second in 3 thousand years, a bit like old British railways. Two minor fits today. Our strategy is to set-off relatively early and moor-up early too which seems to suit our joint metabolises. One more boat name for you today: moody cow.
