Expecting it to be very rainy but, in the event, it wasn't too bad. Set out early to avoid the worst of the rain, and that turned out to have been a good decision. Tied up just through the bridge in Wheaton Aston. The point was to get within an hour or so of Brewood, fo Sunday morning.
Checked the weed-hatch and greased the drive with silicone grease (nearly 3 years since they did it at Debden Wharf, and it should be an annual event. By then the rain had dried up sufficiently for me to paint with gunnel paint the inside of the hull under the cruiser stern boards, down to the bilge paint line. Just did the left side back to the rear stanchion.
