Although cold, It was a beautiful sunny day, and we sailed from the Moorhen to just past beautiful Parndon Mill. We would have gone further, were it not for the icy river.
It was great to be on the boat. I was given some 'steering practice' by some of the dedicated volunteers - which was great fun. They also gave me a good education about canals and the issues affecting British Waterways.
It was also good to be sailing with a number of others, including Ann Wafula Strike, the Harlow Paralympian and some of her family.
I have been to Canal Boat Project a few times now, but until today, I had never had to chance to sail in one of the boats. It is a great experience. You get a feeling of just how much, the groups of youngsters - many of whom have significant disabilities - who use the Canal Boat Project - enjoy the experience. Definitely one of the nicest Sunday's I have had in recent times.
I hope you like the pictures.
