    How long is a piece of string ? So to answer your question, how long per day do you intend to cruise, will you be stopping & looking around the places you pass through, will you cruise even in heavy rain or wind, will you be ice breaking during the winter ????? 

    So it will take as long (or short) as you want to make it !

    I visited my prop last night only to find it was clear. It is easy enough to reach from the counter. The counter is low compared with some other boats. Unfortunately the fact it was clear means the minor vibration I have must be caused by something else. Perhaps I have tweaked one of the blades slightly although there was no obvious damage.

    Once found that a new vibration was caused by an engine mounting coming loose causing the prop coupling to rattle

    Make a seat out of foam & leatherette, shaped to fit the space between the handrail & cabin slide, removeable & comfort. Other than that a step by the doors to heave yourself up ! Much safer.

    Saw "Big Al" tied up on the Llangollen last year, at the smallholding on the offside of the canal just north of where the Nantwich Road crosses the canal about a Mile East of Wrenbury (Br 15 I think) Did not see anyone with it tho.
