A working boat at last. Well, almost there...

I see that I have rather neglected my blog, and indeed have missed out the journey down from Stone to the Kennet and Avon canal... Ooops. Well, for now, I will pick up from where I am now, which is somewhere along the Western end of the K&A, usually around Bradford on Avon/Avoncliff.

 

Yesterday was a major moment in the transformation of my boat, as the forward cabin sides and roof where finally removed. My original plan, to cut sections with an angle grinder, turned out to be beyond my scope, so I got it done at a boat yard, where they 'simply' cut around the gunnels, and lifted the whole lot in one, with the crane. And all in just over half a day too. The boat instantly looks better, and the loss of weight has not noticebly influenced the 'sit' in the water.

 

More pictures will follow, when I dries out down here. In typical sod's law fashion, It hasn't stop raining since the top came off..
