Salty Sea-dog Chairman Ian Pinder

We are back on the Boat in 2009 and Chairman Ian is getting frisky around the Tardebigge Locks.
We entered the top lock at 7.25, on leaving we passed the only boat going in the opposite direction with comments of “you have started at the wrong time you will not get down the flight tonight” how wrong they were!!!
We stopped for a rest and fantastic buffet at 8.25 after getting down over a 3rd of the flight and set off again around 8.50 arriving in the navigation for a pint around 10.10.
Thanks to Darren for the use of his boat and the effort we all put in I know I am a bit stiff today.
