Disabled woman plans a trip around Britain

A record-breaking quadriplegic sailor is preparing to sail solo around Britain in a 20ft boat controlled by her breath. Hilary Lister, 36, from Dunkirk, Kent, became the first quadriplegic sailor to cross the English Channel, in 2005. She solo circumnavigated the Isle of Wight in July last year, becoming the first female quadriplegic to do so.
Mrs Lister, who has no movement below her neck, controls the boat using straws to adjust the sails and tiller. She is planning to start her trip in Dover, in her boat, the Artemis 20, on 9 June. It is anticipated the clockwise journey, which will be taken in a series of day sails, will take three to four months. Mrs Lister has been paralyzed for seven years as a result of a progressive degenerative disease, reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

The 12-Step Recovery Program for Web Addicts

I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

I will get dressed before noon.

I will clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

I will write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.

I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.

I will read a book… if I still remember how.

I will listen to those around me about their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.

I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.

Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime… and the Web will always be there tomorrow!
