Final preparations today for first trip of the New Era. Solo boating. Thus far there has always been Pat. We were such a team and had so much fun always looking for ways to work the boat with least effort and maximum speed (measured in lock miles/hour). Now I know I can work single handed (mostly) but will I enjoy it overall. So for this trip I have invited some friends to join me, just for a few days at a time and separated by gaps of single handing with challenges of various kinds. For instance, I know the canal well and how long it takes us to do certain lengths. Will I keep up?
First section is Barby to Wolverton in three days - first I have to pick up the crew! It’s very windy over the coming few days ….
