Feeling a lot better than the previous morning, we have coffee and thanks to the wind being in our favour, wriggle out of the mooring, turn round and head back to Little Venice. It's very quiet, but it is only 08.00 or so. then along the Regents canal we go again! Lots of incredibly expensive looking houses and the towpath becoming increasingly busy as the day goes on. As we approach Actons Lock, there's a boat waiting for us, in the ensuing chat, they find out I'm heading back up the Thames and ask if they can come with me - they were planning to do the Lee / Stort, then return via Regents Canal and Brentford. They had a meeting on the way to Old Ford Lock, and decided to seize the moment and tag along (me having the required VHF and them (Hobo) not). So, to a much emptier Limehouse for the second time, plenty of space along the wall. Off to check with the Lockie for tomorrow's departure time (14.00) and to call London VTS (his recommendation) to inform them of our two boat convoy to Teddinton. Lunch and cake then goodbye to the guys for the time being, they go back to real life, I remain in fantasy land!! A tidy up, clean etc then off to Limehouse DLR to meet Penny. We co to Gordon Ramsey's 'The Narrow' for a drink, decide to have dinner - very tasty - but with Ramsey prices! never mind Penny paid. Oh, and we entered the quiz. It went on a bit and was quite hard, but we didn't come last, our main objective, about 6th out of 8 teams, but there was only two of us! Yet another good day with a second trip up the Thames to look forward to tomorrow!
