Lock 14

Lock 14 (out of a total of 27) by mid-morning already and the second for the day! The horn sounds and the light changes to green. We idle in and grab the lines the lockmen throw down to us....their faces uniformally surly until Bobby asks "What's up with the Packer bench?" He smiles..he is from WI and painted a pier bench in the colours.

James whips out delicious sandwiches as we drop 13 ft (Lock 19 we hear has a 34ft drop!). The exit horn sounds and we realise we have no fuel in the tank. A speedy refill and we are out. Bobby needs the loo.....
