News about Reed Boats in
2004.
September 2004.
Life has been so busy that I am afraid I have failed to produce
the last two monthly newsletters, however life has now settled into a routine
where we can catch up.
- As planned we started cruising in the middle of July have been traveling
the system, giving guests holidays ever since. One week we took a break as
we were empty. However other weeks we have had full boats.
- The interiors were finished, just, ready for the guests. Unfortunately
some of the exterior paint work still needs work. So instead of offering winter
breaks we will be getting this up to the high standard we wish to offer over
the winter.
- Carlton TV cameras were with us as we finished work on the boats and followed
us to Chester and Llangollen. They have now left us in peace! We should be
on air next spring, but watch this space!
- School term has started so Angela has gone back to her work as a Head Teacher
and Carys and David, after a summer afloat, have returned to school.
- Over the Summer we had Peter and Graham crewing for us, both have left to
go back to college. So we have now been joined by David, (his experience includes
sailing around the world!) Our other crew member is my eldest daughter Marie
who has decided to come and work for dad for awhile.
- We have completed our schedule for next year. It has a mixture of week cruises,
taking us back up to Chester, Llangollen, Whalley bridge and over to Coventry
and Market Harborough. In addition we will also be going down the Oxford onto
the Kennet and Avon. Next year we will also be offering some short break,
two or three day cruises which you can book now as well as still giving you
the chance to book part weeks within six weeks. Do not leave it too long as
we are already fully booked for three weeks.
- However we still have room this year, and will now take bookings for just
a couple of days if you wish to round off this year by a last trip.
- As I write this we are at Worcester on our way down the Severn to Gloucester
and beyond, before going through Stratford and Warwick. If you see us on our
travels, come over and say hello, have a cup of coffee and a look around.
