The next morning whilst we we using the pumpout machine a guy from one of the liveaboards came up and asked us what the commotion was about the previous evening. We told him the story and it seems that the girl’s boyfriend did something similar a few weeks earlier.

We moved over to moor on the pontoons in the main docks and went shopping in Gloucester.

At 13:00 we went through the lock onto the river and stopped for the night on the pub moorings at Lower Lode .
