About Us
- Ian and Irene Jameison
- In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Before pictures
'Icing' was finished and re floated on Saturday morning. This meant that we could get our final two boats on earlier then expected. With the power washing done by 1pm the hard task of scrapping and sanding down the hull could start. Once completed Heather and myself started on the blacking and by 7 pm both boats had one coat already rollered on. My biggest concern was the state of our skeg. Unfortunately there was nothing caught around the prop to stop the tiller from moving to the right and on closer inspection found it to be the shaft that had bent. Ian has asked our Kev to bring his gas welding gear to see if they can do something themselves instead of paying someone else to do it. By 7pm
