We met Andy Edwards (and his father) twice on our recent Thames Ring cruise. It turns out that this was to be their farewell cruise. Andy's brother reports on his blog that Andy has sold the boat and moved ashore.
I shall miss reading the blog of Andy's life aboard (and his model railway). It was a blog that I always checked (before the days of Google Reader). His web site, that preceded his blog, remains a great resource for those new to canal boating.
Good luck on the land Andy, especially with the teaching, and best wishes to Simba.
