Crossing the Wash looks 'interesting'. I think I'd like a bit more boat under me for open seas. :-)

Love 'Skippy' on the tiller!

Thanks for that, David. A few memories there as we dropped my Dad off in Boston for a narrowboat cruise a few years back. I think he ended up somewhere near Sheffield? I don't know if the company still exists, but it had a narrowboat plus butty and looked very comfortable.

Cheers,
Magani.
