My sister has just bought her very own narrow boat to live on. It's her birthday today and I'm looking for ideas of things to buy her for her new boat.

I'm not seeing her until Monday so it's OK I've not bought it yet

There's a whole thing about crotchet and narrow boats. I think there might be a book of patterns.

Book, crotchet needles and yarn.

Some ideas:

A windlass.

A strong magnet on the end of some rope.

A relevant Nicholson waterways guide.

A whistly kettle.

A book about repairing 12volt electrics. A decent automatic bilge pump.

Biscuits.
