Finding a fun guy to be with is a good idea.

Cycling and Knitting

We continue with our regular hobbies while we wait for the boat.

We went to view the flight of 11 locks at Hélé. A few stationary boats but nothing moving. The locks are very solidly built of stone and well maintained.. #BoatsThatToot

Heaven

Blue is the colour of happy days rather than sad.

My boat is a 25' GRP cruiser that really doesn't like going astern. With helm to port the stern goes to port. With the helm hard over to starboard it goes straight back. Sometimes providing the wind and current are cooperating. If I really want to go starboard I have to line it up using forward gear then hope it'll go straight back. It's 'prop walk' that does it. Also makes turning to port when going forward a much wider turn than turning to starboard. #BoatsThatToot
