We've just brought our new-to-us Dutch steel cruiser - Celia - up the Trent to her mooring in Nottingham. Pretty nerve-wracking getting her under some of the bridges, but we trusted our measuring and were fine. She was built, we think, in the early 70s, but no-one knows by whom. The survey found no problems, and she has a brand new engine (4 hours), so she's pretty robust. We bought her in Norfolk and had her delivered to Farndon (Doug from Beverly Boat Transport was excellent - and good value, too). Here she is with our old boat for the 'swap' at Farndon:
Jane at the upper helm on the Trent:
Holme Lock - the last big river lock before Nottingham:
The interior - very much of its time ... Might need a bit of work here, though it's slowly growing on us (apart from the galley worktop!):
And finally safely home:
