Hi All
I'm based in N.W. area of Ireland and moor in the Boyle river. I bought JimFin (Jim & Finola) in late 2006. It's a 27' and last year we had to replace the crankshaft in the Watermota Diesel.
This morning I found that some bastard had broken in and taken the radio. They left everything else inc. tools and Hummingbire sat nav. Bastards. Sorry I cannot think of a nicer word that would discribe my what I think of them.
Anybody got a radio with CD MP3 for sale?

I am so sorry that you have been degraded, As your in Ireland I dont think I will make it from the Thames.

However if you look at

There is the Adventures of some Delightful New Zealanders, who We saw on the Thames and Sailed to Ireland

With an 8 Foot Beam, she can not do Canals, but what a Pretty Boat and what delightful scenery you have

Hi,
We (John and Kate) are based at Ripon Motorboat Club, North Yorkshire. Looking forwards to the River Ure losing some water so we can get out and about. The canal is fine for a bit of a run but it's only short and we're feeling land-locked.

Hello you two.
We know Linton very well. My first experience of that lock was smashing into the floating pontoon, when as a novice boater 3 years ago I attempted to use the lock in flood ::) Is Stuart still behind the bar in the lock house or has he been swept away in the recent floods . Probably bump into you (let's hope not literaly) next time we are down river.
