And so it begins...

After three years of research, anticipation, and some planning ( almost definitely not enough ) I have retired from work and today put a deposit on my new mobile life and home, which will be aboard the narrowboat....

                             “Quinquireme”. ( I will take some better pictures later )


She’s a 55’ semi-trad, constructed in 2002 and I think she will suit me admirably, she needs some tender loving care to bring her back to a condition which befits her, but I have time on my hands now and will look forward to the challenge of working on her, living on her, and exploring this countries canals and rivers aboard her.



Survey etc. to follow before I actually own her, but hopefully that will be problem free and next post will confirm that and I will begin the process of getting her ready for me to start this new adventure.
