I realy enjoyed that and I recorgnised my old work mate Steve Evens from the MEBON days as I was one of the plant engineers there, Iv been a boat skipper for Nottinghamshire Council since 1983 and now its a charity and its a good pastime for me now Im retired. I also realy liked your songs.
Thanks for the comments and I'll try to remember to tell Steve. Are you working on The Crusader I think it was called. I worked in Registered Care and used to take some of residents to Colwick park for trip out at times. Enjoy
@@ournigethechronic Hello hope you’re well, unfortunately the Nottingham Crusader has been sold off and it’s sadly down in Colwick Marina alongside one of the old Trip boat, I think hard times have come to some of these ventures. I started as a passenger boat skipper in 1983 with Nottinghamshire county council working out of the Fellows Morton & Clayton wharf in NOTTINGHAM, eventually, gaining my boat masters passenger license. I also skippered Boats for Doncaster county council. During all this time I’ve always been a volunteer and it’s wonderful to give something back to the community. Now I’m retired I’m able to give more time to the project It’s a charity now and it’s so much better than it was years ago when it was run by the County council and city council bureaucracy. Hopefully we’ll meet up at some point Andy 👍
