Sainsbury stop and shop

Today's journey was shorter but we had a longer day, mainly because of our shopping trip. Our fridge is only just staying cold enough so we are having to shop more frequently, I shall be glad when we get to Braunston, hopefully we will be able to get it sorted then.

We did the usual water/rubbish/loo routine at the services at Apsley Lock then headed up to Boxmoor for the night. We have a very shallow draught but even we couldn't manage to moor on one stretch, I ran aground.

We have decided to head down the Aylesbury Arm as a detour before we head for Braunston, after that it will be Rugby for the Continuous Cruiser meeting then turn around to head south to Oxford. All that could change of course.
