Didn't sleep very well - woke up with cramp in the night. Got up about 8 and went along for breakfast - good timing as just before mass arrivals of people! Mike had a cooked breakfast and I had nice selection of fruits with yoghurt. Tea was luke warm which was a shame as otherwise very nice. It was rather cool in the restaurant but was nice and sunny outside and warm in the sunshine. Mike stayed in Oxford to go to punt and picnic party at midday so I left him reading the paper in the sun on the terrace while I checked out and drove home. Very easy journey just about an hour. Finished off the packing and packed the car while the dog was still away so (a) nice and quiet and (b) I could leave the front door open. Had a shower and drove back to Oxford to pick Mike up outside Magdalen and then on to Nether Hayford where Intrepid is now based.

Lovely sunny day. Much easier to load things on to boat as pontoon runs alongside. JJ picked up Tony and Gill from station and when all were on board we had stew prepared by JJ and then walked to the pub where dogs not allowed inside so sat outside rather cold for one drink then Mike and I went back and the others went inside.
