2016-07-13 – Search for a mooring

I had planned on doing some more catching up on my blog today, but a phone call from the company that owns the marina where my boat is moored (Bridgecraft) changed all of that.  I had been witholding my mooring fees for the current year because the access road to the marina is in such an appalling state that you need to own a 4×4 to negotiate it, and I’m not prepared to pay for something that I cannot use!  Bridgecraft admitted that the lane was in a poor state, and that they had no intention of making any substantial improvements to it.  They have waived my mooring fees, but I need to find somewhere else too moor my boat from August onwards.  So… I have been scouring the Norfolk Broads forum on the internet to see if anyone was advertising a mooring or had any suggestions as to where there night be one.  I’m still not much further forward – I think I’ll post a wanted advertisement and see  if that brings me any joy.  If you know of any moorings suitable for a 25ft broads cruiser, please get in touch!

I switched over my device to Group ‘B’ settings mid-morning because of tremor, and manage to put up with the dyskinesia that follows on an hour or so later.  It’s getting unmanageable around 4pm, so I change it back to Group ‘A’ again before taking the dog for her afternoon walk .  I’m not feeling too bad motivation wise, but I don’t really manage to achieve anything today.  I’ll empty the dishwasher, vacuum downstairs and have a shave before my wife gets home from work!  I’d better get a move on, because her father and brother are coming over for dinner this evening so she won’t be late home tonight.

Tasks completed, I change back to Group ‘B’ again and reduce the voltage on the left hand side to 1.0v (leaving the right hand setting at 2.0v) – previously it was the left hand side voltage that influenced the dyskinesia in my neck, so I think if I can reduce that (even if it means more tremor in my left leg) then at least I would have better tremor control on the right side.

Evening over, and I’m still on Group ‘B’ settings, so the experiment has been a success.  I’m frankly amazed that I haven’t experienced severe dyskinesia in my right arm and leg – let’s hope it stays that way.  I’m going to change back to Group ‘A’ settings at bedtime, though.
