Row, row, row… oh, let’s not bother

On the way to Windsor a couple of people in rowing boats waved at me and asked for a lift. They were supposed to have taken the boats back by noon and the only way they’d get there on time is if I gave them a tow to the next lock.

So I tied one boat to the rail at the stern (making sure the rower could quickly release the knot if they needed to) and the two boats tied to each other. Then they sat back, relaxed and let my boat do the work.
