We needed a trip out.

We thought that the oak line out was progressing well. We could finally see an end to all our hard graft and were looking forward to the next stage of the fit out, the waterworks (and galley). We have already got the kitchen units and a 'sink' waiting to go in. 

As the title suggests, last Friday we decided to go for a boat trip. My brother Nigel, was over from Germany with his son and what better reason do you need! And the weather was good! The boat performed well with plenty of power. There was a bit of cavitation but as the fit out progresses, the boat will sit deeper in the water. A few pics and one of a sunken narrowboat on the very wharf where Little Owl was first put in the water. A warning to us all when moored on a river, especially the Yorkshire Ouse and Ure!

A lovely day on the wide River Ure.

Plenty of power from the 45HP Barrus engine.

Always a sad sight!

Once back in the marina, the fit out continues with the AC and DC wiring.

Behind the galley area.

That's all for now but we are all pleased with our progress so far.
