When Sharron arrived on Deja Vu back in mid June, she had with her a ‘noodle’. Actually it was Peter who had painstakingly carried this said blue, semi flexible noodle in his luggage, which at a length of 1.5m and diameter of 70mm, was no mean feat. It sprung out of his luggage with much relief on the part of both the noodle and Peter!
The noodle was to be Sharron’s swimming aid and it was duly deployed on several occasions. However Sharron was not entirely happy that it was giving her the buoyancy she needed and it failed to enhance her swimming experiences. Mo even offered to lash it into a permanent horseshoe life belt, but in the end we ran out of time for serious modifications of this sort. When packing up to go home Sharron, and importantly a very enthusiastic Peter, bequeathed the noodle to the miscellaneous toy collection aboard Deja Vu.
It was not easy to store the noodle, but it has taken pride of place on the top shelf in the main saloon and after a few days Nigel decided to launch the noodle and see what it could do. He has devoted some considerable time to this project and the following discoveries and results are presented here in honour of Sharron and as a thank you for this lovely gift.

The project to investigate advanced uses of a noodle is underway and for the large part has involved not only Nigel but also Mo, amid squeals of laughter. Unfortunately, or actually fortunately, there was no one around to take any photos!
