Historic Boat Owners at Last!

I've been teasing our blog readers with a few images of our new old boat for a while, not wanting to tempt fate by revealing which boat we had made an offer on, but now, I can say that our new old boat is the 1935 Severn & Canal Carrying Company motor, Willow.

Today, the boat was surveyed by a specialist in historic boats, and he assured us that the hull, rebottomed three years ago, was in good shape, and that in general, the boat was an excellent buy! So, we are going for it!

The boat is in need of a lot of work on the interior but we are very excited to be embarking on our next adventure! We have started a new blog for Willow, at http://severnerwillow.wordpress.com

We can also show some photographs of the boat now we can say what it is....
