No. :-( Used to, and would love to again, but not currently.


One thing we didn't take into account 30 years ago, was how long it would
take
to get to our boat nowadays, although it is motorway for most of the
route.
Long gone are the days, when we could do the 60 mile trip in under an
hour.
The other thing we didn't allow for is how boring it is for children to
spend a
weekend on a boat. Somebody did copy us an article "Children on boats are
little
prisoners." It was OK until they were about 10 when they mutinied.
