TRANQUILITY IS A SHARE BOAT

Please note that TRANQUILITY is a share boat and we only get aboard four weeks a year (sometimes more), so this blog should be updated during or shortly after each holiday. If you see TRANQUILITY on the cut, please bear in mind that it may not be us on board as she is also used by other shareholders.

At 58 feet length TQ (as we call her) is a steel hull narrow boat built by Colecraft and fitted out by Elton Moss Boatbuilders. Currently based at Alvechurch, we're able to cruise the canals around Birmingham and South towards Gloucester, Stratford, Leamington Spa etc., all new territory for us.

Our next outing on TQ starts on 31/01/10. Don't know where we're going to cruise to yet, it all depends on BW stoppages and the weather. Watch this space.

Home again

Woke up before the alarm this morning and outside the weather looked quite good but there was no hanging about for us today as we had to vacate TQ as soon as we could. So for Lin a major cleaning session (not that it needed cleaning, it was very clean already) and for me a wipe down of the exterior (which I did last night but it needed doing again this morning) and that included the brass. Once done, we took the short trip to Alvechurch Marina, winded and moored up so that TQ could be serviced. We loaded up the car and I went into the shop to pay our dues and then we trundled home picking up the cat in North Petherton on the way. No pictures today (sorry) too busy. Lin and I hope you've enjoyed reading our blog this last fortnight and we hope you'll join us again on our next adventure in September. Cheers for now...
