When you say sell up and cruise the canals, do you mean continuously?

He's just hoping to run into Stephanie Beecham on Wetherfield canal... :wink:

Blister,

Best of luck, I hope you have a really great time.


PS. Don't sell all the hand tools.

 

[custard]

I salute your sense of adventure!

Does the Trend Airshield have the battery mounted in the helmet or on a belt loop?

 

[laird]

Blister, I wish you well and am sure you'll enjoy it. I also feel that if you stay afloat 2/3 years it will go on longer, a lot longer. Several narrow boats have crossed the channel (carefully picking the weather window) and are still cruising the much more extensive European canal network.
Butbefore you sell all your handtools remember just how much maintainance a boat, any boat, takes and how small a volume handtools can be packed into.

JET JPT260 P/T NEW NEVER USED 2hp , 240 volt

Good luck with the new venture...I'd like one of those p/t's, alas no collateral at the moment - Rob

 

[Oryxdesign]

Surely if you are going off in your narrow you will need your power tools to earn some beer tokens on your travels. Selling your tools is like cutting your hands off! I went sailing for a year and having my tools meant I didn't have to eat into my savings.

So how much is the P/T?

I will divulge my top narrow boat tip, never try and have a wee over the edge when you have had a few drinks.......... little bit embarrassing being pulled out of the water in a rather undignified state of dress. :shock:

Best of luck, my retirement plan is to buy the biggest winnibago possible and tour America

 

[miles_hot]

pm sent.

Good luck with it all - sounds like a pretty radical change I would have thought that some of the hand tools would be pretty useful. There have been a couple of boats in reading which obviously do wood working (but pretty "rustic" it has to be said) so there's obviously scope for it...

yes , the house will be sold as well :lol: :lol:

The reason I ask is that having a 50' narrow boat whilst comfortable for longish cruises, I'm not sure that full time living would give adequate space.

Just my thoughts.

Hi Blister

OK, so you beat me to the Unisaw first time round........ :lol:

When you're thinking of selling up, would give me first refusal? I've been after a decent little t/s for a while.

Cheers

you could have a point there mate - mind you it depends on what you want and how much space you need - I know a woman who lives permanently on a 35 footer ( tho thats not something i'd fancy)

 

[devonwoody]

Big soft mouse, I would have thought any lady would be satisfied with one that size.
