Happy Birthday Derwent6

Well Derwent6 is one year old today!!!!!! Hoorrrrraayyy!!!



We have had a fantastic year and long may it continue.... Well how can we celebrate as we're not wasting any beer or wine over the bow as we did with the launch. So maybe we will just rejoice in the saloon. We have decked the halls and bow with holly, and will be putting up tinsel inside. Derwent6 is very Christmassy..... Mind you the weather's not as good as it was at the launch, it was cold with blue sky's, but Derwent6 has coped in all weathers so she won't mind. At least she is getting a birthday wash.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERWENT6 !!!!!!!!!!!!




Love Del & Al

Happy Birthday - it's a great milestone.

At risk of being totally thick is Derwent 6 your 6th boat?

May you have many more happy years on the water...
