Here's Chance Encounter slumbering in hibernation
awaiting the end of March when she will be craned back onto the mooring for
the next season. Externally and internally she is in excellent condition,
being much cherished by her previous owners, John and Kath. John is sadly no
longer with us, but I intend to do my utmost to maintain his standard in the
upkeep of the lovely cruiser. She was originally moored at Lincoln Marina and
was moved to the Thames in 1998. I'm told she is listed in a directory of
boats, featuring the fine timbered ceiling in the main cabin but I don't have
the details......if you do, please let me know. My task for this year will be
to update the beds and cushions with new and replace the soft furnishings. The
wiring may get a slight tidy up too. Here's to plenty of leisure time
downstream in my "floating weekend cottage"!!
