Rain today as expected so its wet weather gear and umbrella and shut all the hatches. Fortunately there is only one lock today and that is the "Stop" lock at Hawksbury. (A stop lock works like an ordinary lock but only has a rise or fall of about a foot. Its main purpose is to prevent water from one canal entering another)
I went inside for a warm up by the fire while we took on water at Hawksbury Junction and left my umbrella on the roof. But when I came out it was missing. I searched around but couldn't see it. A little later a guy walked past with two...I wonder?

Well at least the rain seems to make the wildlife a bit more prepared to come closer. But it was incessant and it was cold as well. And then around 1400 a faint patch of lighter sky on the west horizon. Gradually the patch gets bigger until it envelops the boat making it a quite pleasant end to the days boating.
