The canal opened after 24hours

The canal reopened and as I was feeling poorly I sat in my chair gazing out of the window expecting to see endless boats; there weren’t nearly as many as I had expected… which is surprising as the Oxford Mail, in their report yesterday, said “hundreds of boaters were left stranded…”.  In the link you can see my boat moored up in the boat picture 3rd boat down.  One boat broke the police cordon which I thought was a shame, but then aggression and misunderstanding seems to be on the up amongst boaters.
