Starting The Dream

My grandmother told me of her disappointment of watching the family's canal business decay after all of her brothers were lost in the 2nd world war.

I have always had a fascination with canal boats ever since childhood.

Now aged 39 years and 6 mths old an opportunity came for me to finally make my way onto the canal with my own narrow boat.
All quite by accident I was introduced to a man called Martin at Crooke Marina in Wigan selling a 1983 50ft Springer canal boat. After parting with my savings I started to live my dream. This Blog is about me trying to juggle a full time job as an Operations Manager, Studying for a Law degree and making my own dream's come true.
