Paddle Steamer Still Chugging Along

The winter nights are drawing in, the frosts are threatening and the years finest sunsets are lighting up the evening skies. Most people in the boat tripping world give up by now and passengers lose the chance to see the wonderful sight of the trees changing colour, the delightful way low lying mist plays on the water and the sheer indulgence of cruising flat calm waters without the interference of nasty plastic gin palaces...goodness this is starting to sound like a Marks and Spencer advert!
Can you guess yet, that your intrepid skipper quite likes this time of year?
Anyhow, I urge you all to get out of your hermetically sealed and centrally heated homes and offices and come out with us to fill your lungs with the refreshing air that only autumn provides......go on, I dare you.......you might even like it a bit!

Till next time,

The Skip
