I'm sure we've all seen the emails that used to go around asking you to fill in 20 questions to "get to know" your friends better. I thought I'd do a little "survey" relating to our preferences for what we'd like in a narrowboat. We'd love to know about your boat. I often go back to the beginning of blogs to see if it tells us anything about the boat itself. Often there's not a thing!
I hope you'll either post the list on your own blog or put the answers in a comment to this post.
