Fantastic!!!!!!!1

Well picked the boat up at 2.30 pm from Harrals and here i was ready to go single handed to Tattenhall Marina just me and my trusted dog Sheba , by 7.0 clock i was well through middlewich and after doing four locks decided to moor up for the night, now the banking is very hard round here to get a deep fixing for the pins and after being pulled out three times i moved further down the banking and tried again, whilst inside making a cup of tea a boat came out the lock like a bat out of hell and i found myself broadside across the canel, panicing i ran out started the engine and tried to steer the boat back into the side forgetting that the rope and pin was still in the water, anybody know how much a propellor cost's, so on my first day i found out how to open up the weed hatch and how to remove 15ft of rope from around the propellor shaft, the next day started well until we came to the silly locks on bends, why!!!! why not build it 30 ft away where its stright?? so having managed to miss all the narrow bridges on my journey i hit the first 3 or four locks sides all that lovely paint work gone forever, after this the rest of the time was uneventful barring the downpour that left both me and the dog looking rather bedraggled, that was until i came to the Tattenhall Marina entrance, just hope Blue string pudding wasn't still there to witness it, what a sharp narrow bend for a newbee to have to cope with, anyway i think i might have just made it a bit wider now, anyway here i am moored up ready for my next adventure, tonyb

will look out for you should be there all going well for friday afternoon

Finally after three false starts ( hair line crack on thermastat housing, gearbox wouldn't go into reverse, TALSKI is now ready, many thanks to Steve Harral and his team for the beutiful fit out, so if anybody see's a nervous looking steerer on his way to Tattenhall marina be nice and give me a wave, Tonyb16

looks nice

hi all, need your help again, i'm trying to find somewhere between Winsham wharf and middlwich where a disabled friend of ours could meet up with us and get easy access to our boat, ie pub or stores etc thanks in advance tonyb16

thank you again for all your replies

what % split should i claim for a narrow boat with oil central heating, have seen figures of 60/40 and 80/20 being bounded about and not sure how they are calculating them regards tonyb16

that's probly why the tin of paint is still on the boat the original owner couldn't find anything to paint with it

so sorry to hear of your loss, my heart goe's out to the both of you, but i'm glad you have had the strength to mention the injured and maimed which are so offten get forgot about tonyb16
