Final planning for adventure

Sarah's partner here, as both Sarah and Esther should be somewhere over the atlantic I thought I'd share a few things that they were up in their final days before their flights.

Saturday was a planning day, Sarah and Esther got out all the maps for the final planning and then brainstormed to see if they could work out if there was something important they hadn't covered.

Tuesday night was the last night at the basin with Tower Hamlets Canoe Club.  Instead of going around and around they challenged everyone else to pilot Fifty Shades a couple of hundred metres, and to guess the finish time - all to raise funds for the RNLI of course.

Some members cooked a lovely bear shaped chocolate cake to go with the BBQ, I think they enjoyed the evening of fun.

Early Thursday morning Sarah was up and scowling at her bags: too full, too heavy, but there was nothing that could be done without. A taxi was taken to Paddington where she headed off to the airport, Canada and almost certain adventure.
