djangobole Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I wonder if anyone can help please, we have a friend called Will you hasn't been heard from for a little while, he usually answers his phone and posts on facebook most days , now there might be an explanation for this, his phone might be out of range or charge but people are now getting a little worried, he was last seen moored below the lock at Kitbury near Newbury , his boat is called The Dudley Castle , if anyone spots him can they let me know on here please.

Smelly Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I had just come on to do exactly this. There are real concerns for Will's wellbeing and I too would appreciate knowledge of any sightings. The boat's an old Norman cruiser. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 In these weather conditions, perhaps the first thing to do is ensure that the boat is still there. He may have had to move off it and had to leave his computer behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J R ALSOP Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 That is a Dawncraft not a Norman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtB Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Now he is found and (hopefully) in good care, what about his boat? Is that safe too? On a canal section hopefully, not the river Kennet. MtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djangobole Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm afraid he was taken to hospital but passed away a few minutes ago, he's at peace now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
