Change of plan

We have decided not to have Caxton stretched at Streethay Wharf for reasons I won't go into on the blog.   Having made our decision and emailed Streethay we then had a word with Barrie Morse, a Boat Surveyor, and then Caxton's hull builder, Graham Reeves.   Reeves Boatbuilders could do the work we require but it would mean getting Caxton lifted out of the water and transported to their workshop and then transported again and dropped back into the cut, none of which will do the chandeliers and cut glass much good..  However,Graham recommended a boat builder who he rates highly to do the steel work so this morning  I gave the chap a call.  He called back with a price at lunchtime, we accepted.  So shortly we will be making our way to Braunston for mid Feb where Caxton will be hauled out and a five foot section added to Caxton's well deck.
