Evening cloud bought -
23' springer with inboard thorneycroft diesel. Picked up from Nottingham Marina last weekend - a few teething problems - lost water due to leaky cap and noise caused by broken exhaust weld. Most jobs pretty small - blown fuses, loose wiring and broken bulbs. Boat has been blacked, new anodes and 4 yr safety - only large expense is new licence.

Looking forward to a cheap boating year!
Didn't get on with the cruiser, I knew I had made a mistake as soon as I steered the boat. Not as relaxing as steering a narrowboat and a bit of a worry in windy conditions. Availability of petrol also limits journey distances. The outboard seemed to have a mind of its own - sometimes starting first time and others not at all.
