Timelapse film shows my third dunking: Beale Park to Sonning

After the rest of Sunday and the whole of the bank holiday Monday at the IWA Festival at Beale Park on the Thames, we left our mooring at 1350 on Tuesday 31st August 2010, heading downstream. This 3' 09" timelapse film has recorded our journey to Sonning. And, yes, the sun shone!

This is remarkable for showing the aftermath of the third time I applied eau de Thames to my body. Yes, I splashed it all over. I fell in, spectacularly, when trying to shaft the boat round an underwater obstruction while tying up at the end of the day. Towards the end of the film you can see me struggle with bits of tree, and then climb up the bank on a ladder kindly and fortuitously supplied by the crews of Dizzy Duck and Barleyadola. This was after we'd spent some time looking for somewhere to moor which was within leaping distance of the bank and in the evening sunshine.
