Pam of Backwaters delivered the hired kayak and helped me get started by 11:00
Rained almost all day - - my clothing kept me dry and warm.
Found I'd not brought with me the phone number of my B&B, phoned M for help, missed M.
Overshot the point I should have stopped, eventually realised that, turned round, and paddled back 1.5 miles upstream to it.
Capsized while trying to get out and up a steep bank - - righted the kayak, phone now dead, I now sodden.
Walked to the Grange, was warmly received by E, who then drove me back to the site of the kayak.
With me chest deep in water and E pulling we managed to lift the kayak, laden with water, up the bank, empty it, then drove with it to the Grange.
Marvelous hot shower. R put my clothes through the washer/dryer, and hung my sailing gear to dry.
Lovely supper, good company, welcome bed.
