Windsor

After taking on supplies at Henley we set off down Henley Reach. We were overtaken by a large plastic gin palace at Temple Island just at the end of the reach. He was going too fast and almost swamped a single scull who shouted a few choice words about his ancestry. The rower following asked if we should not all have been in the other channel around the island but I checked my Nicholson's guide and it distinctly says take the channel to the West to avoid rowers. The sign at the north end of the island says all upstream traffic should take the West channel as well. Somebody neglected to tell the rowers to take the East channel.
I saw this floating stand on Henley Reach although the official Regatta site tells me the Regatta was on the last weekend of June.

There were still marquees in the process of being dismantled as well.

As we moved closer to London, the houses became increasingly grand and the boats larger.




We spotted this sign at Bray lock:



Total distance is 21 miles, 3¼ flg and 8 locks.

Moored at Windsor railway viaduct.
