Mark enjoyed himself and stayed out a little longer than planned, making it an interesting exercise to get him to the tubs to Victoria before the trains stopped. He got back to Fleet just after midnight. Lovely having all three of them with us.
These are the voyages of Ken, Annie and dog Peggy. As we cruise we will try and keep the blog up-to-date - internet access permitting of course. Ceilidh is a 54ft cruiser style narrowboat. It was built by J Pinder Ltd for Black Prince hire boats in 1995.

Monday 26th August 2013 - Remained at Ladbroke Grove
An easy start today. Claire and Rob arrived around noon - after a busy day at the carnival yesterday for both of them! Mark was keen to see more of the carnival, while Claire seemed Carnivalled out - so we fired up the engine and moved the boat round to Little Venice and the very end of the Paddington Arm to see what it was like. Rob helmed there, with Claire helming back. It was quite a sight moving along the canal with thousands and thousands of people partying on either side, and hundreds of Police keeping an eye. We spotted stored riot gear but none of it was needed.
