What Did You Do Today?

Was it any thing like this?




(Sorry its so jerky - will work on it.)

Never guess what the story was but 'canal rejuvination' - namely the building of a new lock at the future London Olympic site. Well we had to get there and back some how didn't we.

On the boat we had John the skipper, Richard from British Waterways (at the back) and Richard our producer. Just checking that we didn't have anything in tow before heading back.



Going through the esses on the River Lee down to the Thames.



Good job I didn't shave as would have got really cold at the bow.



Not bad for a phone any way.

On the final stretch as we hurtled down the Thames past the Dome at about 50mph John's hat blew off. One of very many lost in all his years on the river. We gave him our condolences.

Beats actually 'working' for a living though!
