I roared laughing for hours and still chuckle now at your holly thread. Thank you all so much for the hints and tips, I greatly appreciate them. I've been really unwell and was unexpectedly admitted to hospital last week but once I'm better I'll keep researching the possibility of life afloat. Best Jo

I've just popped on here to find out about the lovely narrow boat Holly and an update on her return up north. Tell me, have the canals been infected with a substitute for PMT as some of the posts here now are slightly mmm bitchy. The light and friendly atmosphere of a forum working together to help find holly seems to be weighed down by gossip and speculation without the humour needed. Maybe its the hormone fairy mixed with lovely weather hahahahaha

It is pictured behind Holly on the photograph Richard posted earlier this evening, looking at it from this angle, i am almost sure it is a Middlewich Narrowboat... Maybe somebody from MWNB travelled up on the boat to try and help track her down... just a thought

In the above picture of Holly that was taken today, that seems to be a middlewich narrowboat moored alongside her? is it, or am i just imagining it?

I stand corrected...on recent pictures of Holly her deck is all grey...maybe he was painting it red

When we hired Holly on the w/e of the 9th Feb her deck was green I think.....Although it may have been red or black lol eeeks canals and wine don't mix when trying to remember deck colours

What is the red stuff on her deck? it looks like blood to me

It was the whole idea of a speeding 7mph canal boat with go faster stripes and 90 foot long having been sawn up after been nicked from club 18/30 cruisers who then went back to the pub hahahaha/ seriously hysterical post

Is that a picture of Holly after she was found today?

isn't that a funnel???? Thanks for explaining, I recognise it now. i thought it was a board walk lol. Good to know

Whats a gunnel?

Hi I wondered if it is possible to rent a live aboard to see if its an option I'd enjoy as a place to live? A try before you buy scheme....Does anybody know if this is possible? oh and do they come with residential moorings?

ooops okssss will do

After reading all 33 pages of this topic and laughing so much....I'm now considering moving to live on the canal. Can anybody tell me if its hard to get a mooring and a boat (live aboard) to rent on a trial basis? Is a nurse so would like to try before I buy Jo hahahahahaha That post had me in stitches for hours.....

Ha hahahahaha S&M and being painted black and shiny......... mmm maybe the decorator had unusual taste in rubber. Bad taste I know but after what I read earlier about a club 18/30 boat being reduced to 10' and Holly changing to 90' and having racing stripes of 7mph.....I couldn't read the post for howling with laughter Jo
