They're going to see how far they can get towards Stewponey before it's time to turn around and come back. So if you see them, give them a wave.
They've been living and working in Burkina Faso for several years. After that, I doubt whether anything they'll meet on the waterways is likely to be a problem. Anyway, Mark and Cheryl have both had some narrowboat experience before.
I was able to show Sam a knot or two before they left, and to make sure Amelia knew where one or two key pieces of equipment live (e.g. a spare Watermate key). So their parents are in good hands.
We did have one couple that greeted us and said they read your blog. A great week on Erin Mae and 24hrs later I still feel the room is swaying.
ReplyDeleteAh – good to know that someone reads my musings. I wonder who they were.
