Napton Summit to Fenny Compton

Friday.
Cruised through miles of quiet open countryside along the South Oxford Canal. Moored near bridge 124, close to Priors Hardwick. David walked through the fields to the village. Whilst he was gone there was a stream of passing boats and MORE came adrift from her mooring twice. It was lucky I had remained on board or we could have blocked the canal. Cruised on to water station at the Wharf Inn near Fenny Compton. Met up with the day boat, Dizzy Duck, from tooleys wharf, Banbury. They helped pull us in. They were having some trouble with their water supply. We filled up and then cruised short distance before mooring up for the night.
