In October of 1987, we picked up our boat from a town called Lymm and sailed to Chester and back on the Shropshire Union and Bridgewater canals. Onboard were Steve Addison, Paul Addison, Matthew Peacock, Peter Wilkens, Kenneth Wilkens, Stephan, Uwe Boeing and his lad Bobo! Notable events were Matthew falling into the canal from the roof, right past the toilet window while Steve was taking a piss. Ultimately this forced him to have a shit as well! Also as beginners we accidentally trapped the bow of the boat under a lock gate as it was filling, damn near sinking her!
