As I write this we are in the dry dock at Hilmorton. Dave rang this morning to say there had been a cancellation and we could come in straight away. We had just returned from Rugby which was a bit of luck. So now we have been jet washed.
Paul has taken photos which I will post soon. I have made an appointment at the hairdressers for tomorrow so both the boat and I will be looking all spruced up. Will keep this short as I'm sure Paul will be dictating the ins and outs of a pelican bum regarding everything that has been done. Understand we are here until Monday feels really weird not to be floating.
Watch this space for the next riveting installment in the blacking of Piston Broke.

About Me
- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.
