Vlog 313: Hip-Hip Hoo Wrey!
It’s 18 months since I sold my canal boat, “Wreyland”, but I’ve just been back to see what the new owner has done with it – and it’s had quite the makeover!

Always admired your old map. Don’t think the new Minimal List version is anything like as good.
Other than that enjoyed the video, good to see your old boat getting a new lease of life.
The old map dated from the 1970s and was hopelessly out of date.
Impressive! What sort of engine did this bad boy come with, and what engine is being installed?
The old diesel was a 36hp Lister Petter. I am unsure of the spec of the electric motor.
Very interesting David. I did wonder what happened to your old boat. I hate to think what it all cost!
What did they do with the diesel tank?
Operating your old boat again, did that make you think about at some time in the future going back to the water?
Take care young man.
Biggles in the Fens.
It’s not feasible for me to return to living and cruising afloat at present, for various reasons. The diesel tank remained to supply the heater (and potentially a generator in future)
Great to see Expert Gary again. Always liked that Christmas Vlog

It was good to catch up with him, definitely!
Jolly good Vlog!
Thanks David
