Found the program fascinating!

BBC 4 20:00 Caledonian Canal tonight! Might be worth a watch!

Thanks for the Post and the great pics!

After 35 years of working on ships and boats its definatley a "she"

Go to a busy lock and keep an eye out for single hander's passing through! you'll see how its done!

What better way to get to know the boat you've bought!

That must be the King Harry Ferry in the fore ground! wonder how it got the name? anyone got an idea. Great Pic!

Hi! there are usually an assorted collection of interesting boats in Penzance "Wet Dock" which is only 5 min walk from Penzance Bus/Train train station, there used to be one or two live-aboard dutch barges there if i remmber rightly. Also i have done the cruise up the River Fal the scenery is beautiful, and just now i suspect there will be a few large cargo ships laid up in Fal so interesting viewing. BS

Many thanks for the post! and the photos were great, no wonder the Llangolan is so popular! Looking forward to part2

Over the years i have seen a number of ships/oilrig lifeboat conversions to commercial fishing boats, and also commercial pleasure trip boats.

Well said!

Thouroughly enjoyed reading your Post, and the photo's were great! Im a Newbie and im hooked! Rgds Blue Star.

Just an idea! why not get the vessel down to the Humber, and hire a small sea-going tug and tow the vessel down to the Thames, that way engine reliability would'nt be an issue and probably most of the regs would'nt apply. After all there are plenty of barge's being towed around the UK coast everyday of the week. its got to be a lot cheaper than taking it by road and all the hassel that would entail. Rgds BS
