Survey

Today I went up to Knottingley in Yorkshire to see Misterton surveyed. I'd not been able to attend the surveys I'd had done on narrowboats, so it was quite impressive to see. The utrasonic and hammer testing revealed that she was basically sound. There was about £350 worth of welding to be done (two patches and nine rivets welded up) but that was about it.

 Here she is on the slipway, they build 200 foot long boats on this by doing one end at a time!
