I was working in Rugby and happened to take a wrong turn down towards Hillmorton, too late to see the chucking in, but in time to see Carl turn out of the marina and head East.

 

 

 

Mini Banter on the towpath as Maffi turned up....

Well done great pics! She looks one happy boater & that looks a nice little boat.

Absolutely: a happy owner of a tidy-looking craft. May they both stay that way.

SC spent some time at the tiller and, for a first ever attempt, settled down very well.

 

By the time she's steered all the way through Braunston Tunnel, she'll be a natural.

[matty40s]

good on you stARRY, the chat room awaits....

[bizzard]

Tremendous Star.A jolly nice boat.Bow FENDER needs lifting up a bit. Name all done too.

Just imagine that your driving a rear wheel steer dumper truck and you'll soon get the hang of steering her.

Enjoy. Bizzard.

[tillergirl]

Practice makes perfect! Keep at it Star and enjoy every minute

[BlueStringPudding]

Star - I have never seen a smile as smiley as yours! Congrats on the maiden voyage!!!!

[slammer]

Well done chuck, I remember my first time (just) lol , enjoy .

[soldthehouse]

Well done to all, From initial enquiries to launch in record time .....well done

[Duchess Omnium]

Well done! I think I enjoyed reading about your maiden voyage almost as much as you enjoyed your cruise.

[alan_fincher]

What a heart-warming story, after all the hiccups you have had getting to this point.

 

I still think it looks a super little boat, (and what appears to have been a bit of a bargain!....).

 

You do need to lose that "deck board" or "cratch" at some stage, and it really will look a classic small Springer.

 

Good on you!
