Finally, I've arrived at the boat. I've spent the last 3 years with my relatives in the Antarctic; it wasn't going to be that long, I originally planned for just a 3 week stay there, but when it was time to fly home I discovered that even though I've got wings, being a penguin I can't fly. Luckily some of our friends came on a cruise to the Antarctic so I hopped on board and they hid in me in the fridge in their cabin until we got back to the UK.
Anyway, I soon found Notsa Junction by holding my BCN map in front of a mirror, and waddled down the towpath to join the boat. At this point I was kidnapped by another team, an unfair tactic about which I have registered my complaint in the Stewards Enquiry thread. So now I'm back on board and ready to settle down for a quiet game of ODUL with Allan Keepingup this evening; that's a board game where you attempt to move counters from the centre of the board to the outside corners by throwing dice into a small cup.
