About Us

My photo
In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Finished boat.

Three coats of bitumen,  two coats of gloss on gunwales and counter, the diamond decorations on the front of the boat repainted, meant the boat was ready to be re floated in record time. Today we titivated and completed small things like revarnishing the cratch and painting the boat poles just to give me something to do. The fenders are now on and all we need to do tomorrow is tidy the dock area. Im hoping the lads John and Mike will get us off early so I can watch " The Wedding" There has been no TV  for the time we have been in the dock so I have havent seen anything of the run up to the event. Somehow I dont think they will be here much before 9 am and by the time they do get us refloated the procedings will be well underway.

The boat looks lovely. Now you can relax for a couple more years.
Hope you enjoyed the wedding. x
