I envisioned being buffeted by Camden Lock crowds, but once we stepped onto the Jenny Wren and went through the lock, the world became peacefully quiet. Such a nice trip. Our pilot and narrator was very good and kept the chitchat to a minimum; the ride spoke for itself. Well organized and enjoyable.
