Moored up under the trees at one of our favourite moorings. This is the GOBA mooring just upstream of the Pike and Eel on the Great Ouse.

The more patient half, pictured with crew/offspring enjoying the peace and quiet up front.

It's me! Reading the Great Ouse guide book at Huntingdon.

This shot was taken in early October, somewhere between Ely and Pope's Corner.

This is what it's all about... This shot was taken at about 11pm, at the fantastic new Environment Agency mooring at Upware, which we had all to ourselves. Amazing just to sit there for a while with the lights off, and watch the swans swimming about in the moonlight, whilst supping a G&T. We're quite pleased with this photo, as the shot was hand-held for a ridiculously long exposure. Proves the anti-shake mechanism on our digital camera works!

Another of our favourite spots on the Old West river. We often stop here for lunch, and so far it's always been sunny for us. This part of the Old West is one of our favourite stretches of the river. Mind you we've still got lots of the river system to see.

Waiting for the lock keeper to return from lunch at Hermitage lock. This is one of only two manned locks on this river system, the rest being boater-operated.

This photo was taken on the Old West River, near the Twenty Pence Marina. We love this section of river, as it's so wild and unspoilt. As you can see when this was taken the mast needed a coat or two of varnish! This has since been done, in fact it's had 16 coats!

Stretham Old Engine, a restored Fenland pumping station. We've cruised past on many occasions, but haven't found the time to stop and pay a visit. We hear it's well worth it, so maybe this season...

The view of Ely Cathedral from the river. The hood was up and down like a yo-yo that day. We usually stop at Ely to replenish the groceries when cruising down river of our mooring in St. Ives.

Settling down for the evening at the new EA mooring at Upware, upon our return from Cambridge. It was lovely to have such a quiet mooring after the hustle and bustle of the river in Cambridge.

Cassie pictured in Baits Bite lock, after a pleasant trip to Cambridge. We're not too fond of this lock. There are no mooring bollards, hence the ropes around the railings! Half the chains are missing, and the ones that are there are only attached at one end. It's a very picturesque spot though. Let's hope the Cam Conservancy improve this soon.

On the outskirts of Cambridge. Some of the boats moored along the bank look a little tired and unloved, which is a polite way of saying 'wreck '. Not sure how many of them have a BSS certificate or current licence! You really have to be careful of the rowers around these parts.

Moored up at Jesus Green, basically the limit of general navigation on the Cam. We think our Cassie looks like Pat Butcher in this photo! It must be the dangly earrings...

This picture was taken from our mooring at LH Jones, St Ives.

Looking gorgeous... Waiting for Hemingford lock, which is the first lock upstream of our permanent mooring at St Ives.

Doug and Ena, Marina's mum and dad, about to embark on their maiden voyage on Cassie. Enjoying a nice cup of tea while Cassie warms up.

Oi Veh Cap'n! Simon's dad, John, pictured at the helm on a lovely September afternoon.

Pictured (l-r): Sam, Lorna, John and Simon, behaving very strangely at the Ferry Boat Inn. Don't know what's going on here, but the provider of the best caption wins a prize! Cassie can be seen hiding below the bank in the background.

A tranquil scene, taken in March at Jones' Boatyard, St Ives. The water level is still very high, after all the heavy rainfall.
