A Wonderful Cruise to the Baltics!

We no longer seem to have time to blog these days, but our good friends Peter and Margaret did post this for us.

About Me

nb Chance
After selling our previous narrowboat "Spirit" in May 2009, and spending time back on land, we have missed the lifestyle travelling the canals and rivers of Britain so have decided to take the "chance" and have our own new 58ft narrowboat built for 2011 by MGM. We hope you enjoy our blog, following our journey. James, Doug & Oscar
