Women in their 60's and 70's are delivering on every level in my opinion.

My mother is an inspiration for me, she met my father when she was 17 and they spent 43 very happy years together. He sadly passed away when she was 60 and watching her rise from the ashes and live her life so fully and completely is one of the great joys in my life.

I have had 3 amazing women in their 60's spend time with me this year. Heather, Yna and Grace and all have been true inspirations.

Grace always wanted a boat and had bought this little beauty to start her boating journey. She pushed herself on ways that surprised me and I love getting little updates when she moves.

When you book a day with me, you get free voice memo pep talks down the line.

Just a little extra I offer. 🤪

Grace, thank you for being you. You're a total legend.

I thought I'd share in case anybody else gets approached.

This happened a few weeks ago, I said no because I didn't like the idea of the podcast.

But then I saw someone post about another similar situation and I realised it was a scam. Which made a lot of sense.

So I thought I'd share in case anyone else is approached in this way.

The last few miles of the River Wey or Wey Navigation leading up to Pyrford Marina. .marinas

Love this marina and this trip down the Thames and on the Wey.

Had the perfect weather for it. I needed to postpone due to the heat. It was still very hot on Thursday but much better than it had been.

I hope you enjoy

Day 2 of my boat move bringing a boat from reading to Pyrford Marina on the Wey.

I have absolutely loved this move despite having no water.

It gives me an excuse to go to the library for dinner.

I also, have moored in different slots to my usual due to things being slightly delayed. It's nice to see what else is out there.

Life ain't bad eh!!

Heading back to Ireland to launch the boat after 2 years of work. Exciting and emotional all at the same time.

A little trip down the Thames this week. Here are some shots from Reading to Marlow...

People always ask me to help them down the Thames and I always tell them it's not as hard as you think.
The river Kennet is much harder.

So if you're thinking of it this is your sign to give it a go. When it's on white boards it is grand.

This year we have gone on white boards so early. I remember a couple of years ago it was on reds until the end of May.

There is a traffic light system for river flow. Red means don't go.
Amber - experience navigators only
White - good to go

There is also amber increasing - don't go
Amber decreasing - go if experienced

These are Thames/Environment Agency systems.

The Canal and River Trust is a bit different. Red. Amber. Green.
