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).

Our first day since Christmas

Our first day of our holiday today, and I'm back on the old bus man's thing again. Reports have been coming in that the engine cannot be stopped by the usual method of pressing the button. You have to go below and activate the stop lever manually, but now I've fixed it with a new solenoid.


The old one to be removed.

The new one to be fitted.

It's been fitted to the engine since new so it hasn't done bad. Oh! And TQ is celebrating ten years of service since her launch in June 2005.

As if by magic...



The gaitor has perished allowing the shaft to rotate.
That's the first job done, next is to change the oil and filter. That can wait until tomorrow, now it's F1 Grand Prix time.
