22 grand to buy and probably way more to get it up to looking good.

I am 95% sure i have found Tryphina....it has been renamed. i wish i had 22 grand to buy it. but i'd rather hold on to the memories i had on the boat https://www.abcboatsales.com/boat-sales/ariel/?fbclid=IwAR2vyul3XnCSIUbqFQiyplDnhxyw4y4DN-jI2rkwtgibOrs1JrOXbNPrzFA

@Heartland i love that photo thank you so much in sharing this :) it made my day!

i can imagine! he did love the canal. i can not believe how tanned he used to get from just being on his boat. I really would love to get a boat one day. I miss being on boats

He had one named after my cousin. I can't remember what it was called. i will ring my mom later and ask her. Think one had my middle name in it. Isabella haha my grandad did give zero sh!ts I really do bet ya neighbours loved that. I loved that when he was doing the redditch - lichfield route he would let me sit in the front with him. i loved it. it was so cool. back before the days of health and safety etc. Thank you thats amazing!

Awww That was my grandad. We lost him over a year ago (pre covid) I loved seeing a photo of his boat. Thank you for sharing! He loved being on the Canal and his boat. I was sad when he sold it without telling us. Oh well. I hope one day to get a boat of my own. I miss thoses saturdays on the boat with him and my uncle and the dogs. good times. If anyone has any stories or photos lying around that would be amazing
