DHARL2 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hello all, some might remember me as Dharl. Well I lost the email address to that account and so I am back now with the really immingative name of Dharl2! Picture is of N/B Honeystreet. a 57ft Semi-Trad, reverse layout ex Ownerships built by Andrew Milburn in 2002. She is now managed by BCBM and is currently based at Wigrams Turn, named after the hamlet on the K&A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an ex Honeystreet owner I was pleased to see her looking well in Leicester a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also at Wigrams Turn with Winthorpe- second year and maybe a third - so I may see you there. Howard Edited July 24, 2018 by howardang Can't spell!

Welcome back Dharl, I am also an ex-Honeysteet (and ex-Oberon) ex-Ownerships owner. Indeed i think you may have bought my share back in early 2014. Davem399 is also a Honeystreet owner who occasionally posts on CWDF. I saw Honeystreet recently whilst walking my dog near Alvecote, so presumably was you on board. If so you must have passed my boat and house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We came down the Coventry end of June before heading up the Ashby as part of doing the Warwickshire Ring. Boat still going well, though on going through Brum had to go down the weedhatch 5 times in one day.....doubled my total time down the hatch since I bought our share!

Boat still going well, though on going through Brum had to go down the weedhatch 5 times in one day.....doubled my total time down the hatch since I bought our share! When I bought DQ she came with a "Prop Protector" already fitted. I was sceptical at first but in the 4 years I have had her I have only been down the weedhatch twice. Once, soon after I bought her when she picked something up on the prop when I engaged reverse as another boat was closer to the bridge hole than me. Engine laboured, much black smoke and partial loss of steering. I limped to the side, opened the weedhatch and found... nothing. Replaced weedhatch and cruised away normally. I guess I didn't give the "Prop Protector" enough time to do its work before I decided to open the weedhatch. The second time was pulling into Streethay Wharf for fuel when the engine stalled. Turned out I had a complete cratch cover wrapped around the prop, which was more than the "Prop Protector" could cope with. Took ages to remove ?

NealSmith100 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 She is freshly painted with her name and the covers are fitted, so Little Miss Sunshine is ready to go. My house buyers, however, are not Still - hopefully, on 6th September 2018......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trina Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I got this boat as a burnt out shell. I was told some youths set fire to it in Halifax. It was owned by a policeman. Any information relating to its history would be welcome. Her original name was Anne B and was built by David Brownie and sons in 2005. It's taken 3 years to transform her. More pics in gallery. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have done a wonderful job, I love all the wood. She looks so warm and cozy. You say that you are looking for some information about her history and I wonder if this doesn't warrant its own thread, perhaps you could start a new topic in general boating that way you can give it a specific title to your thread, I just say this because your request is likely to get lost in this thread and sink out of sight as new post are made.

TheHappyHooker Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hiya this is my boat Drifter :) 57.5ft along with me, husband and two cats. I'm a licenced trader, crafting my wares in Crochet (that's knitting with one stick with a bent end to the uninitiated ?) and I'm a keen photographer. We've been fully cc for the last 4 years and the nomadic way of life suits my trader needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Marshall Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Someone took this rather nice photo of my boat last year and published it in the local Congleton paper. I did try to find out who it was, but they wouldn't tell me due to the Data Protection Act, nor would they forward a message. Hey ho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
