All good things come to an end.

Without labouring it after 28 years Vital Spark is on the market. Like several others recently I've found it increasingly difficult to either cruise single handed or maintain the boat itself to a standard I would want. What was pleasure is now difficult. As they say, Time and Tide wait for no man.  

Not leaving the forum so I'll still pop up now and again.

Been there, done that, you 'just know' when its time to stop boating.

 

Even though an interest remains it doesnt mean you have to own a boat.

But there are one or two (one in particular) who seem to think if you don't have a canal boat (or not having one built) you are not entitled to comment on anything, and perish the thought you should wish to make a post.

 

Many years of boat ownership and canal usage experience can still be useful and can help newbies even if you are no longer on the canals.
