Although we are open all year round, the boating season doesn't really get underway until March. After the winter we are now getting our hireboats, Sammy & Sumo ready for the new season and there is a lot of activity going on behind the scenes, particularly on the tiling front! Sammy gets a newly tiled shower cabinet and Sumo has some work done in the galley and new tiles around the hearth

Meanwhile we are also getting a boat ready to sell but before we can put her up for sale her engine needs to have some work done on it. As she has a classic Lister JP2M we need some specialist help. So the engine needs to be removed and sent off for repair. This involves towing the boat down to Oundle Marina and then craning out the engine as it weighs a couple of tonnes.

We are just waiting for the river to drop so we can fit under Barnwell Road Bridge!
