A damp, grey and wind battered day welcomed us into Reims. We intended to stop here, but the only suitable tie up place seemed outside of any security. It looked unwelcoming. Aside from that, I could hardly move with a stiff back, so we decided to keep going. Not the brightest of churches. I was eager to have a look inside, but the doors were locked. It wasn't long ago I found churches a sad place to be - somewhere to contemplate those gone. I always light a candle for a few people, especially those who were taken too soon - but now I feel more positive in churches, akin to the circle of life of which I'm part of - now I just feel lucky that I'm able to light candles for others.

We are - it is like a voyage - just how we like to travel. Thanks for your wishes - it's getting there - just got a tight butt to relax (Noel says I'm a tight a*se in more ways than one!) ;-)

When you get to Berry au Bac and turn left onto the next Canal you'll fly as the last time we went down it there was a 3 km current running.

See, now, Graham, you are one of those more remarkable (and a little annoying) people that have a memory - I couldn't tell you if we turned left while on the Berry au Bac - I am sitting in a lounge (feeling out of place) and not on a boat - so haven't got my notes - but I am sure you are right - we've been flying and loving it!
