Dispatches from the narrowboating front line - Day 1

As always seems to happen when taking my boat out, something failed as I said out loud, "I'm ready to go now".
"I'm not",  my boat seemed to say.  Subsequently there was some faffing about with spanners before we finally left at 3pm. We're now moored up by a rugby pitch near Greenford.
Tomorrow we'll reach Brentford (I hope) and we plan to join the 7am tide on Tuesday on its way to Teddington.

To highlight the difference between boats on the canal and boats on the Thames, here are my top three crap boats from yesterday.

#1 - Average fibreglass heap

#2 - No engine and a strong smell of fibreglass resin

#3 - UFO
