What about Bridge Craft, Howard?

Nice thought Simon although they are very good hiring to me in December already.

Need a lottery win, trouble is we have champagne tastes and lemonade pockets

Ah so they're doing a special favour for you in December? You could always ask or maybe go for March instead? You'd have a wider choice in March I'm sure.

No, its not that Simon but they are kind enough to let us have a boat out of season as did Swancraft when they were hiring. I think we could have any of the fleet within reason as long as they have good notice. We tend to go for Humber Bridge as its a very cosy boat for winter.

We've traditionally been out for me and Mrs Nog's birthdays which are in December and February. But by a happy coincidence it's some of the quietest times on the rivers so its a double bonus for us really. Don't get me wrong, Bridgecraft are great and are really helpful with us. It's just a shame that very few yards will get involved with winter hire which could be a missed opportunity.
