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.

April 9th - Broken down at Reading
Narrowboat drive train. Great when they work but we've been broken down for a week. Rattley box on right was not transferring power to whirly thing at left (off screen). Looking at crane out (£600) and new prop shaft (£200). Gulped. Bought hack saw (£3.10p) Cut worn 2 inches off end of shaft and reconnected coupling. Whirly thing goes round again. Currently undergoing sea trials but ok so far (touch wood)!
