Virtual Narrowboat NB Waterspaniel
Labels: hazeldene cockers, roan cottage, water spaniels
Hi well its been a long time since I posted on here. My dream of a narrowboat has long been put on hold, replaced by a grade 2 listed cottage in the north yorkshire moors. Have to say all the dogs love the cottage, but I do still (only on now and then) have a look through all the boat brokers saved as my favourites on the net!!! Never give up on your dreams.
Well another Birthday has come and gone, and well no Narrowboat, but still loads of wonderful gifts, after all I am getting to an age when I should be forgetting birthdays!! Maybe its just time to give up on a boat, dont think I will ever find the right one! px

Well I am just sat at University trying to complete an assignement, where do I end up, back on the waterspaniel!!!! I must be due for a break now anyway! The only reason I came to Uni today was because there are far to many distractions at home, i.e I spend all day looking at Apolloduck or any other narrowboat web site I can! Well better get back to the delights of the Glasgow coma scale, I guess its the boring stuff that helps pay for the things like the Waterspaniel!
Just to remind you all why this blog is here! Its really because I keep boring people with boats and ships, so this is my own world where I can be as sad as I like. It also a place to list all the boats we have looked at so that when I say do you remember this boat? Chris doesn't just give me a blank look!
So this is the other contender for the Nb Waterspaniel although the cabin boys not so keen! Mudskipper is a 50ft cruiser stern narrowboat built by Hallmark in 1997. She is fitted with a Mitsubishi diesel engine. the open plan salon has a solid fuel stove and fitted corner unit. The split galley has a stainless steel sink with low level storage, full cooker and gas water heater. the bathroom has a hip bath with shower, chemical toilet and sink. At the rear is a permanent doubl eberth with storage underneath and full size wardrobe.
