Progress 19th July - responses and sunset

Good response to my emails to Transition Towns and Community Action Groups along the Thames. So far have received 4 offers of B&B, two of which are close to our planned stopping points. Also some good suggestions to contact Oxford Radio and the Electric Boat Association.
Wonder if anyone has a boat moored in Penton Hook Marina they would like to lend us for the night.
Need someone to be willing to rescue if all goes wrong.
Bought a new battery 75 ah which should keep our 30watt motor going for about 12 hours without charge if my sums are correct. Looks too good to be true.
Just resurrected this blog in response to my daughter's suggestion to record progress.
Checked sunset for 15th to 25th August and find it is 20:30 reducing to 20:00. Decided to start one hour earlier to make the best of the light and improve the margin of error.
