Hi.

How spooky is this. One of the first of your blogs that I read was 13th April 2006. Have a look at the picture of your mooring that day, you certainly are creatures of habbit.

Hi Sue

Go girl! That's some weight loss - very well done! I stuff my face even more when I'm on the boat because I'm so happy, so I am very impressed with your determination and self-control!

Have fun this summer

Cheers

Hi Sue & Vic

I am off to March @ the weekend. This will be my longest trip so far 36 miles. Its going into dry dock for blacking on Monday. The weather is looking a bit off though. I have got to wait overnight @ Denver Lock for a 9am + passage.

I am kinda nervous as I will be doing it single handed in 'orrible condition. Deb can't come which is a shame as she has just done her RYA Helmsman course last week.

Oh well.

Well done with the weight. Not bad at all seeing as how you have strayed.

Dave Elcome, Jane, Sarah, Kevin,

Dave,

Blimey well spotted!!

Jane,

Thanks for that, and good luck. I just used a calorie controlled diet keeping to 1000 or 1100 calories a day.. it worked well, and weight was dropped very quickly the first month.. lots of veg, and don't forget to eat plenty of celery.. you burn more calories eating it that what the celery contains in calories!!

Sarah,

Nice to hear from you again Sarah..

Well I was determined to lose it.. I was huffing and puffing up the hills, I like my walking far too much!

Kevin,

You will be OK.. I am sure once you get started you will enjoy the trip. At least with Deb not there you won't be able to shout at each other if you bump the boat!!

Wadda ya mean 'strayed'? Can't a woman stray a bit sometimes?

Only if she is straying my way

Kevin,

Blimey... see told you it would be OK!

Hey well done you that was some trip. Guess you dealt with the tidal bit OK.. was Paul watching as you turned into Salters Lock? I do wish he would do that, I am sure I could do it without bumping No Problem if only he wouldn't watch me!!

Debs will be proud of you!
