Long thin Envelope
When I got home from work this evening, on my doorstep was a long thin envelope from British Waterways. 15 working days from the day the application arrived at BW, they were true to their word I got my licence from them delivered to me.
It is all very exciting for someone who has never had one before, so please stay with me all you long time boaters who have no doubt had many of these.
Inside were my metal index plates with instructions on how to mount them on various surfaces, but did not seem to include how I should prop them up on the inside of a window by shoving them between the glass and curtains! Also included was two sticky pouches to put my real licences in the windows (Don't you just love the smell of those things?). Last but no means least the licences themselves at the bottom of an A4 page, I nearly missed them.
I was half expecting to get a shiny BW key in the envelope as well but sadly no sign of that. I presume I have to go and buy one of those from a BW office and show them my licence to prove I am allowed one. That can come another day.
So where do I go for the maiden voyage?
