A great boat for a great dream Ray. I look forward to seeing the inside. My best wishes to you both on your new journey.

Looks really nice Ray. Look forward to seeing pictures of the interior and it in the water.

That speed you mention is about the speed I do in my Disability Scooter Ray I sure had to adjust to my cruising speed in the shopping mall etc.

You should do at least a week to get a proper idea of boating on the canals. We’ve managed a 90 mile round trip in a week, which I know sounds crazy when you can do a 90 mile trip in a car in a matter of hours, but at 3 or 4 mph it’s 7 days of cruising upwards of 7 hours a day.
I would like to hire up at the Llangollen canal and take in the sites from the Pontcysyllte aqueduct.
I wish you all the best in your new home.

It’s a wonderful canal and you’ll never forget the first time you go across the stream in the sky. There are plenty of hire bases on the Llangollen, there’s even day boat hire at the aqua duct as well as Anglo Welsh narrowboat hire on the Trevor side of the Pont. Hope you manage to do it one day. It’s a fab way to holiday.

Just looking at that picture has set off my vertigo!
I live about twenty minutes from the Ponycysysllte aqueduct and it’s an amazing structure but with my fear of heights I’ve never managed to walk across it fully. It’s even worse on a boat because there’s no handrail on one side just a sheer drop.

Why on earth would you want to walk across??
To get to the other side? Didn't here used to be a joke about that sort of thing? It involved chickens I seem to remember

This was travelling north from Rugby many moons ago with my parents had a great holiday on the boat.

Top Cat launched yesterday and now she lies on her mooring at the marina. Few snagging issues to be sorted next week but we should be moved aboard at the weekend. More pics of the inside to follow then as we have just dumped some things onboard last night and they need sorting out.
