London to Auckland

More locks, more rain and really cold. Playing a game of cat and mouse with the German water police. They are nice guys and I think we are winning but they are close behind. Today they sent in one of their helicopters to beat us up at 50ft and we got sprung speeding again.
Reached the top of the European waterways at over 1300ft above sea level.Some of the locks here are 30m or 100ft high. Very impressive. Started down the other side towards the Danube river and stopped 3 locks and a couple of hours short of it.Today was bloody freezing.Had to get the guys off the machines at one point and find shelter and warm up with exercise.A couple of new records today.Fastest speed on Main-Danube Canal 85kph(13 is the limit). First PWCs to transit the area. Most warnings by German water police.
Cheers
