Boatmaster ?

I've been feeling rotten for two days now, going down with the cold that my two grand-daughters have kindly shared with me. We reckon that this is the fourth cold/bug that I have been struck with in the five months we have been here !
And the boatmaster course was tonight, three hours in the local draughty college in Kerikeri.
Forunately the time passes quickly as it is very interesting, even when you feel like curling up with a whisky, as I am doing now !
