Graham and Katinka
Graham needed to bring his boat from Oxford England to Redding for repairs so we had a lovely day on the Thames.
Graham asked Art to handle the anchor as we set off and the lines as we passed through the many locks along the way. Little did he know the about the risk of gastrointestinal illness from the Thames but he soon learned that giardia was about the worst thing ever. It is sometimes rightly referred to as the great fermentation and that is what it felt like in his gut. He started feeling queasy that night and woke the next day - the day we had reservations to fly home - feeling awful. Needless to say, it was one of the worst flights ever but he managed to get home without embarrassing himself. On Tuesday, he was diagnosed and given a massive antibiotic which cleared it up in a few days.
