We bought the boat after visiting family on theirs at Braunston. We weren't looking for a boat but these things happen and before we knew it, there we were boating on our own boat. I have to say that there is a history of being on the cut (as the canals are known) and lived by the Thames with a variety of cruisers too, so I guess it was always a question of when rather than if.
So here's our little boat on her very first outing with us on a sunny September day at Hillmorton:
The start of a journey that has taken us many miles, made us many friends and seen two of our children never know life without a boat.
I hope you'll find this of interest (if you don't, you can ignore these bits :-) ).

We live very near the Crinan Canal, we actually have to cross the swing bridge to get to church, which if someone is passing through makes us late.
I'd love a boat like yours to potter in, though Ardrishaig to Crinan is not far, I could go up and down!
Happy sailing..the sunshine on the water, the engine purring..... ahh better do the hoovering...
Sorry to hear about the damage to your boat.
Hoping that it will soon be restored to its former glory.
Looking forward to reading about the restoration Vic. But I am so sorry for the reason for it.
