Thank you Patty !!!
I don't know how much I have spent on Sabina ...... and to be honest I don't want to know.
It certainly exceeds how much I could get for her if I was to sell ....... but it's my home and I have just about got her how I want and I would hate to live anywhere else.
Restoration jobs can become a passion, that takes over your life.
She is 16 years older than me and I like to think that she will go on for many years after I'm long gone.

Those are all lines of true words, we'll be long gone, while these old boats will still be going (strong ?). Last saturday I had to move the 100 years old small barge from my avatar, because of the yearly firework at my mooring, if she would have been brand new, she couldn't have done the job any better, which was very far from being my case, hardly able to move about on her because of my back badly playing up again. I don't think somehow that we were not even built half as good as our old barges . Peter.
