I set off after breakfast, keen to get moored up before the day got too hot, and before anyone else took the mooring. There is a swing bridge to operate, so I moored up at the bollards and went to the controls. There was nobody around as I started to open the bridge. I drove the boat through, moored again and went back to the controls. By the time the bridge was closed again there were a dozen pedestrians waiting. Nobody seemed very bothered.
