Left Watford this morning and headed on northward. Eventually moored up at Hemel Hempstead after filling up with water just south of Apsley.
Hemel is quite full up at the moment, lots of moored boats in the area, much busier than it was the last time we passed this way two years ago.
Passed a boat with a large solar water heating panel on the roof – photo below. The guy on the boat explained to us that even on a very cloudy day, it heated the water hot enough to have a good shower. Great idea if it wasn’t so big. He can collapse it to get under bridges but it didn’t look like it was a five minute job.
