Saturday was very windy with a couple of light showers mid-morning but after that it was OK, plenty of people around as always at Stoke Bruerne, both trip boats were running continually, the small one, Charlie goes into Blisworth tunnel a few yards to give the passengers a taste of what it's like and then reverses back out, turns and returns, the bigger boat, Indian Chief runs trips right through the tunnel and back.
The weather forecast for Sunday had improved so we had another good day.
Competitors receive final instructions for the Sunday morning scooter sprint (12 Volt Class) on the left is Geraldine from The Cheese Boat and on the right is Jayne.
At lunch time Steam Boat President towing Kildare arrived and moored up, they're on their way back from taking part in the Queen's Jubilee Pageant last weekend, they're staying here tonight and moving off at 6.30 on Monday morning.
President and Kildare breasted up (tied side by side) pick there way through the moored boats after leaving the top lock.
At 3.30 the Pirates invaded which involved a lot of smoke flares, bangs and shouting with a fiddle player half way up the tower.
Sundays Pirate attack.
