Got sun burnt today tidying up the garden.
What a Ballache cleaning and ironing my old sea cadet uniform was, it took hours!
Been practicing my knots today in anticipation of the maiden voyage.
I shall learn the hangman's knot as a backup incase it all goes Pete Tong.

I don't know why as I'm never going to get near a narrowboat, but I'm kind of hooked on some of the Youtube canal bloggers. One guy, David at "cruising the cut", had a narrowboat for a few years then downsized to a little cruiser "needing a few repairs" after buying a house. Turns out the cruiser's few repairs are never ending.
Like any engineer a small rag will come in handy for lubing moving parts, revalving guests, can also be attached to a small rope to tug you along, I know you'll love a tow rag, I myself prior to the sox change was a pirce of string, now I'm a frayed knot.
When in doubt, look intelligent. Garrison Keillor
Found a ramp to retrieve the canal cruiser, just need a trailer and tow bar fitted now..
I've got a couple of those inflatable giant rings ( one is a donut and the other is a pink flamingo to be more accurate) tow behind with some string , should be fun and piss all the old cryalls off on the canal.
^Ha!
Good luck with getting the little boat out, and getting a trailer to get the boat. I have some experience on boats and getting boats out of and into rivers. One of my friends used to take his boat out every summer and we'd ride the rivers around me.. is always a great time.
