Writing a Boat into a Storm!

Boating into Rough Seas

We’re still on our travels. We cruised to a different county (county – not country!) last week – for the first time! It has been quite an experience. We have travelled along rivers that could fit ships and rivers that can’t fit much more than a canoe! We’re getting quite good at unsticking the boat when she beaches on the shallow bits of the river and we have found some lovely locations. I’ll blog more about our travels in another post – something for you to look forward to!

We’re not going to travel much in the next couple of days though because the weather looks awful. We’d get blown to Oz! It’s ‘Batten down the hatches’ time, again. We’ll make sure we’re well tied on and wait out the storm. Better move Crazy Dave incase he gets blown into the river!
At least it will give me time on the boat to do more writing!

Writing on the Boat!

I have been busy on Medium.com this week, even while travelling on the boat! Some articles are still with the publishers, but this one is ready.

Medium.com: Don’t Worry About Getting Old…

It caused quite a debate about the spelling of the word ‘ageing’. It turns out that it’s ‘ageing’ in the UK and ‘aging’ in the US – just when I thought I knew all of the UK/US differences! In the end I settled on ‘Getting Old’!

If any of you are worried about us during this stormy weather – don’t be! We’ve weathered storms before. At least this one is short and we have water! Not like Storm Gareth!

How we survived the last storm!
