well on saturday i picked up a venture prospector 16. I got a bargain as i saw one go on ebay for £70 more than mine. And mine is all but new. It said ex demo but being.canalside based.there is less launching marks than i will put on it later when i christen her at rudyard lake later. I cant wait to fit her out and take her touring with my son fron the end of may. Ive called her nellie after my daughter who was born premature and didnt make it. So atleast in spirit well be travelling the rivers, canals, lakes and lochs as a family.
