TRANQUILITY IS A SELF MANAGED SHARE BOAT

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 Aqueduct Marina in Cheshire we're able to cruise some of the most popular waterways in Britain. The Shropshire Union, The Trent and Mersey, The Llangollen Canal, The Four Counties Ring and Cheshire Ring and more.

Our friendly Syndicate decided to go down the Self Management route on 1st March 2012 and so far it has been very successful. Please visit the other pages in this blog to see the new Web Site and if shares are available for sale. (There'll not be many).

Busy day

Some glorious sunshine again which warms the inside of TQ so much it becomes too hot so the heating has to be turned off and the stove turned down low.
We decided not to move today and I got down to the business of changing the radio aerial. That turned out to be a bigger job than I was anticipating, I had to cut the old one off with a hacksaw as the nut holding it together was rusted up solid. No surprises there then. I've sealed the new one with silicone and lubricated the threads with K99 to help prevent rust.

The old bits.

New one fitted and working.
See what I've done with the TV aerial in the background? I thought the curved roof might reduce the signal strength being received so I sat it in a foil dish. The magnetic base still works through the dish and reception is greatly improved. Simples.

You looked like a man who had had a successful day as we chugged past earlier. I envied you being inside as it was a bit brass monkeys out there!

Cheers

Hi Sarah, apologies for not spotting you, I was a bit busy with a list of jobs set for me by the syndicate. Nearly finished them now.
