Monday 16th May

We make it out of the M25 finally - It chucks it down with rain but hey we've got Hemel Hempstead to look at! Moored boats make the going extra slow.

Save a guys boat from sinking when his fender gets stuck in the lock gates. Quite a mini drama as I jump aboard and the whole thing starts listing scarily. I feel like I've done him a huge favour and he just says 'wouldn't be the first time'!
