Given the rain there has been in Europe you shouldn't have the 
unfortunate experience somebody else I know had.  There wasn't enough 
water in the river for the boat to take them so they had a series of 
hotels, which meant unpacking and packing each day rather than relaxing 
in their own cabin on the boat.

Which New London is that?  A colleague from a neighbouring parish moved 
to New London, NG but I guess it is too small for the workshop you mention.
