...You know the score...a beautiful morning with a few hours to kill before guests arrive for lunch...so, off we went...Click here to see map of the stretch we paddled http://www.weyandarun.co.uk/wsmap07.htm

Put in just west of the aquaduct...Miss Stovie, and a somewhat more confident Oscar (stovie dog)...

Great stuff Stovie! Miss Stovie is certainly having fun and has the look of "come join us" in picture seven. Oscar looks to be enjoying the float. Cool! :cool:

P.S. - Forgot to add... The paddle she is using, did you make? It looks really nice.
