Apologies first of all for having read advice and not replied, amongst the boat being stranded I had a very poorly mum to contend with…
Anyhow- Thank you all, as usual the boating community gave lots of advice and enough to make a decision quickly. Our first choice was the wonderful Sven, he was however quite rightly booked up… we opted for an off water move which was pricey but prompt and what we needed at the time.
Thanks again everyone, it’s a shame we missed out on the journey because I’m told it’s a good one but after seeing the weather we have had it may well have been a blessing because I fear we would still be on our way now!
