Andrew was expected soon after 11 o'clock so there was time to do some more work on the under-bunk cupboard doors, starting to varnish them. We also went back into Tescos for a paper and a couple of other items - we would need more bread for lunch now.
When Andrew had joined us we set off downstream. It was another very pleasant day and we gradually made our way through the locks, mostly about one every half hour. Still very little traffic about but around Henley there were a few rowers, including a ladies eight.
Most of the locks were unmanned - the last three were after four o'clock anyway when the lock keepers go off duty at this time of the year. We tried to buy a licence at a couple, of locks but they did not have the means to take payment so relied on us to pay sometime later when we reached a lock that could do so!
We moored below Marlow Lock for the night - an official 'free' mooring: the charges posted on the notices at various places further up ranged from £4 to £10, although it seemed unlikely that there would be anyone at the remoter spots to collect it!
