Journeyman

Over the last couple of weeks I've been hunting the web for a suitable boat to live on. Then came the driving all over the country to look at rust covered buckets and mouldy woodwork. Not masses of fun!

My parents and sister have been massively helpful as they've helped with the searching and offered advice (my mum and sister both live on boats full time)

Strangely, the first boat we found on-line has always been the favourite and, when we went to see it last week, we knew it was the right one.

Last night I had a phone call from the owner to say that he had accepted my offer and now the journey begins.

For the boaters amongst you she is a 68 foot semi-trad built in 1992 with a Barrus engine.

She needs some work doing so I'm currently trying to find a boat yard with a time slot in the next few weeks that can fix up the paint and sort out a Boat Safety Scheme certificate.

And finally, her name... Relativity
