Glad you enjoyed the article - I'm waiting for the letters page in the next bulletin forthcoming - I think some readers will have found it way too long. I'll never quite get over my paranoia and so the outboard will always be with me :) Take care now - stay in touch stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932550661580632605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263863416874538973.post-35495255207798583892020-03-30T09:57:55.806+01:002020-03-30T09:57:55.806+01:00Hi Steve, I can empathise with you forgetting wher...Hi Steve, I can empathise with you forgetting where things go particularly when re-commissioning after a winter lay up. I have mild dementia so I try and make drawings and diagrams before I dis-assemble rigging etc despite being the worst artist in the world I find diagrams work better than photos. You can always label bits of string and various parts too. I am self isolating presently and thoroughly enjoyed reading you article in the DCA journal 244: "Cruising the Rivers Lynherand Tamar-part one" Roll on part two etc. I followed your route on a large scale road map with Google maps providing detail. Reliance on the outboard...I get it๐.

Strange and concerning times indeed. living down in the south west I haven't heard much about Cambridge in the news so far.<br />Like you, I am trying to track the news in New Zealand. My brother lives just outside of Nelson with his family - and we contact each other most days briefly via whatsapp. <br /><br />You stay safe, keep going with the boat project - what you working on?<br />Steve stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932550661580632605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263863416874538973.post-75280259682268981012020-03-26T21:28:49.281+00:002020-03-26T21:28:49.281+00:00I can empathise with your situation - here in New ...I can empathise with your situation - here in New Zealand we've begun the second day of our four week lockdown (which may be extended). Luckily I have a boat project on the go to keep me sane for a while. With a daughter, son in law and two grandchildren in Cambridge I follow the UKs experience with interest and concern - be safe, take care.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.com
