2 days ahead of schedule

Really quiet again today on the river considering it is a long weekend, with only a group of 3 river cruisers seen all day. If you wanted a quiet spot for a houseboat trip, anywhere around here would be ideal.
Bit of drama last night with some deranged man on the other side of the river in a campervan shouting at full volume "f... this" and "f... that" while it sounded like he was beating the side of his van with his fists. This went on for about an hour. Surprised no one called the police as it was pretty scary. He then put on a Cat Stevens album at max volume and was singing along to it in a totally out of tune voice. Played the same one 3 times! Seemed to calm him down. He then brought out his electric guitar and was playing that (badly) again at max volume on his amp. Eventually went quiet about midnight. He would have been 500m from me and it was super loud. I hate to think what it was like for the campers 50m or so away from him!
