The Travels of "Felix". A Princess 30 DS.

[oldgit]

Two RCC club members have just published a little book detailing the adventures and misadventures of their travels in a 30DS.
Felix has travelled to Berlin and Paris,down to the Med and up to the Baltic over the past 30 odd years.
Boat and crew have just returned from a month or two on the Thames,wonder if anybody up your way knows Denis and Cathy Crabbe and the entrepid "Felix" ?
Known locally as the hoover of the sea,reading the book suggests that about everthing that floats just below the surface has at some point impeded the progress of this craft.From rope to black plastic sacks and everything inbetween.
Club members always cruise behind Denis and Cathy and with good reason.
Ps.Unless you have lot of time to spare,do not engage Denis in any conversation regards ensigns/flags/pennants /burgees or similar matters.You have been warned.

Out drives or shafts

Having googled it and found nowt,where would one acquire it?It sounds a good read,something for the long winter evenings coming up

A nice pair 200hp diesels on shafts.It started life with pair of petrols.

The book has been privately published and printed by club member who does book restoration .
Depending on interest,may be a second run but getting an IBSN number and stuff costs money by all accounts.
There is a good account of some Thames visits and narrowboats do get the odd mention.

I think it's possible to do a deal with Amazon where the put it on Kindle for free. They should also talk to Goodreads too.

OG, get your writer friend to have a look here - https://kdp.amazon.com/ I think its free to publish and Amazon just take a cut on the royalties.
