Back in the Beginning...

I think I should write all this down, but like a lot of the experience of owning and working on an old tugboat it's difficult to know where to start so...The vessel known as Wendy Ann 2 is an old british Admiralty tug, built in 1939 and commissioned in 1940- made of steel and has been sat in salt water her whole life so I mean old. She's also practically scrap but for one reason or another we didn't realise this when putting money where the mouth was. It's true to say that Becky and I fell in love with Wendy as soon as we clapped eyes on her. It's also true that we were complete blithering idiots with absolutely no idea whatsoever what we were letting ourselves in for and were both sporting the very thickest rose tinted spectacles at the time. That was just over a year ago and an awful lot has changed since then. My whole life in fact. But I like a challenge and a learning curve and maybe, just maybe we'll succeed in our mission to save this boat and build a home aboard this once proud machine..
