The Beginnings

Wandering Canuck was built by Southport Boats here in Britain in 1999. She has had two previous owners, who have called the boat Molly’s Girl and most recently Llly’s Girl. As Wanderng Canuck, the boat has been completely refitted from the stern to the bathroom by Chris Heritage of Heritage Narrowboat Joinery in Devizes, Witlshire, England. Completely rewired by Mike Saunders, and with a new bespoke interior, the boat is almost as new. There are still a few things to be done: a repaint of the exterior, and refitting the front cabin. These will have to wait until the fall. Her current owner (the wandering Canuck) is newly retired from an intense career as an independent school teacher in Canada. I am eagerly awaiting the re-launch of the boat into cruising, which I expect to do July 16 or 17. In the meantime, I am finishing the inevitable details of moving into the boat as my full-time home. Quite a change to change the space available in my home by a factor of 1/10th!
