Arrows of pain












Well the day didn't go exactly as planned, but we took Andy, Karen & Eloise to see the Bournemouth Air Show 2008. Having launched the boat I was parking the trailer, and tried to lift the back end of the trailer around a corner... shooting pain down my back again... OUCH. Carried on though, easterly wind so very rough difficult to anchor off the pier (alongside the Gillinghams), kept drifting, virtually hit a rather nice Moody yacht (sorry). In the end moved into the shallows to anchor, but Sam felt sick because of the swell. Gave up and went to Brownsea... pain in the back was getting very bad now, so totally gave up and went home. Andy did a great job reversing the trailer down the slipway, I drove the boat on and he then pulled it up to the top. Finally Andy reversed the boat back into the drive at home. THANKS ANDY & KAREN and sorry it wasn't quite as planned.

Nice photo's though!! and the back will get better with a little help from Heather.

Dear James and family,

Sorry to hear about your back hope it clears up soon, have great sympathy as another 5 days camping, cycling and canoing has done my shoulder in again.
Thanks for the Birthday greetings, well remembered,
I am impressed!
Love the blog. The boys were disappointed not to find the girls on our new campsite and Miranda wandered around saying "Where's Rachael?" all the time.

Keep posting
