Vixen: I would be delighted to meet you, though not on my boat (I just sold it). Come and seee the Boat Band and the Old Rope String Band on Sunday afternoon( I think), and say hello. We are on outside the Kings Lock( a pub by the eponymous lock).
In order to retain my anonymity, I too do not post under my real name(which is actually Greg Stephens, but dont tell anybody). And in 15 years living on the good old "William Wale", we never once painted the name on the outside, in flagrant contravention of BWB regulations (through idleness rather than secrecy, though).
