Close enough to belgium to smell chocolate
... The current had me pinned. nice of him. We followed that barge through the next few locks before trying to find a place to stop. We rafted to a little boat in what is supposed to be a stopping point but as he was tied to some rotten old timber piles i didnt fancy it for overnight. So we trundled back into the traffic. Lots of traffic but as the canal is huge I no longer get the instant of terror when i see a barge coming. The river is also running in our favour for the first ...
So close ...Just have to talk klaus into it.

She called me to her desk and for the first time in my whole life, she told me that she didn't understand what I wrote. I immediately burst into tears. I have always been good with words. I can always say exactly what i want to say and people always get what I mean. But learning another language means learning new ways to communicate, and it was the first time ...
Big empty canal, and the deckie rocked chauny
... at us for being on their river. One had his 8 m pole stuck out accross the river as i passed the barge. he swore black and blue when red failed to give way to his fishing rod. i was full noise on red passing a 400 t barge. the rod did not even register on the scale of things happening at that moment.
