It turns out that Relativity is actually pretty fast when compared to other narrow boats! Today we've been chugging up the Thames with my mum and her boat Silver Lining. At the same engine speed Relativity is about 20% faster with much less froth and churn behind as well.
So she's very sweet in a straight line - shame she doesn't steer so well.
My trusty hat blew off this evening but I managed to navigate back to it and hook it out of the river before it sank too far. Relativity protested quite a lot when I slammed her into reverse to try and stop and go back for the hat. I don't think she was impressed.
Tomorrow Abingdon and then Oxford.
