[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]And the blessings keep coming!!!! We moved Celtic Maid to Gurnett, about 2 miles back from Macclesfield, to take advantage of the short warm and dry spell to undertake some much needed maintenance. Celtic Maid purred as we tubbed and scrubbed her and then touched up all the chips and scratches that a few months…
