No boating today. We spent the day in Leighton Buzzard, dodging the rain and wandering around the shops in the morning. we had lunch in the Swan Hotel before returning to Phoenix III where we sat the storm out for the rest of the afternoon. It was all very cosy with the engine running and the heating on while we watched a bit of television and surfed the internet. When the rain finally stopped we were buffeted by the local canoe club who were racing up and down the canal.
