If anyone had looked at this moribund blog in the past couple of weeks, they would have seen that my ‘Count Up’ ticker of how long I have owned Chertsey had disappeared. This is because I no longer own her, after:
After nearly seven years of hardly boating at all I finally bit the bullet, and have found a new custodian to pass Chertsey on to. I couldn’t be more pleased that she should shortly be hard at work again, helping to maintain waterways infrastructure across the system.
Thanks to everyone who helped bring that about, and to all the wonderful people I met through owning and loving an old boat. I have so many amazing memories, challenges I’ve met, skills I’ve developed, places I’ve seen, and above all the sheer joy of steering that big, graceful beast.
If you want to keep / get in touch, my email is still the same, or of course you can leave a comment here. It would be lovely to hear from you.
