You Never Know.

Tuesday 15th May 2012.

You hope that you never need to use one but would feel terrible if someone was in the water and you hadn't got one to hand, so you should carry one.

Now we need 10 metres of 6mm nylon rope to fix to it. 

Our old Life Ring came with our previous boat which we bought in 2004, it had developed a large split although it was filled with foam so may well have still floated, the replacement is a cheaper version without the foam inside, we bought it off Ebay "Buy it now" from Barnet Marine Centre www.ribs.co.uk for £19.95 + post and packing. It must be suitable for Canal use as it said on the invoice packed and sent by Laurence Lock.

Our Friends Val and Michael Lee came past Kings Bromley yesterday, if you need to know anything about living on a Narrowboat then ask this pair, they have been liveaboards for 17 or 18 years.
