HOME (is where the boat is)

I'm currently out and about on the waterways. If you would like to see my SMD/LED range check my diary page to see if I'm in your area. If so contact me to arrange it.

I took to the water as a liveaboard narrowboater about 8 years ago.

I can thoroughly recommend it, though I realise it wouldn't suit everyone. I was a backpacker in my younger days, and this is really a grown up version of that. Nothing beats waking up in the morning with the sun streaming in, and when you look out of the porthole a family of swans are swimming past. Of course it's not always like that. There are challenges (such as leaks and getting out of bed when you have the flu to make sure the fire has been stoked).

Why the name? I fly a jolly roger at the front of the boat. It's not a fashion accessory, it tells me what the wind direction is 50ft ahead of me. Useful info when you're steering.

I also make mosaics, play folk music (whistle and melodeon) and like knitting.

Pretty good for a Baddie really.
