Brian,

Did you do that just to test Eva's resolve?

Hub,

No it was a case of sitting on the boat for three weeks building up the courage to take her out. Then making a snap decission (Bad move) and off we went. I think it is a case of "what does not kill you makes you stronger".

Thank you for the concern.
