The boat is in such good condition that to say that we are pleased would be a gross understatement. When I managed to transfer the last of the monies to the vendor in the very early hours of this morning, I was so excited that I woke Jan up. I just wanted to tell someone!
Even now, nearly 24 hours later, and after four hours of cruising in pouring rain, it almost doesn't seem possible that we've landed up with such a good boat.
We bought it in Kegworth and are now tied up in Shardlow, heading towards Fazeley. Give us a shout if you see us - but you won't see a name on the boat yet.
I'll give some details of the boat in a later post, but this will do for now.
Yippee!

congratulations!
Nice colour! :-)
Halfie,
An absolute belter of a boat, well done, just need to change the knobs on the kitchen units ;-)
She looks like new and will be a perfect livaboard.
Waterlily is at Mercia and I am off for the next few days so I might see you on the way through to Fazeley. Might want to check the Trent between Wchynor and Alrewas as I expect this rain might take it to flood levels?
2000 miles of pleasure is now open to you anytime. What a great feeling,
Nev
Thank you all for your good wishes. Day two on board and all going swimmingly! The boat handles very well.
Nev, not quite sure what you mean about the knobs! I look forward to meeting you as we pass through.
Knew you'd like the colour Bones!
Hooray, can't wait to hear more. Glad you are pleased, actually you sound over the moon with your new boat. I hope you enjoy as much as we enjoy NP. Good luck!
WOW what a great looking boat, wish I had read your blog earlier though as I would have liked to have seen you at Shardlow...
You must remember to give me notice when you're at 'my end' of the T&M so that I can buy you a pint :)
Kevin, I wish you'd read my blog earlier too! I'll take you up on your promise next time (whenever that may be).
Congratulations - Jubilee look like a fine boat - I'm so excited for you - moving from a share boat to your own is a big step but I'm sure you won't regret it.
Enjoy

Congratulations, hope you have many happy hours in her. Enjoy yourselves.
I see. Proudly show us a photo, but completely omit all her vital statistics! Tease.
Many congrats.
Congratulations! Will you be living aboard? This is a fitting year to buy a boat named Jubilee. :) We are looking forward to seeing more pictures and reading about it in detail.
