Ten Years In

We are quickly approaching the end of our tenth year with Naughty-Cal. I don't think that we could ever have imagined the places she would have taken us that day as we tentatively handed over the deposit and started our life as boat owners.

We had not even set out to buy a boat like Naughty-Cal, we were heading out to order a new river cruiser to gently plod around on the inland waterways. No way did we envisage buying a sports boat capable of taking us to sea.

We jumped in blind and could quite easily have made a huge and expensive mistake. But we took things gently to start with until we got used to how she handled and slowly but surely took bigger and bigger steps. 

Looking back we can still remember those big miles stones, our first trip down the Humber to Hull, our first sea trip in company to Wells next the Sea, our first sea trip alone to Kings Lynn and then our first big coastal trip alone to Newcastle and North Shields. We look back on these trips with fond memories and hope that there will be many more to come.
