Slowly cruising
Well we’ve made it through all the planned winter stoppages on our route so we can slow down a little bit now. Not that we were actually rushing all that much, but it’s nice to be past them. I know … Continue reading

Back on the boat
We got back from the States eventually. It took almost as long on public transport to get back to the boat from Heathrow as it did to fly from Boston to London. I also misplaced my battery charger for my … Continue reading

Boston USA – Days 3 & 4 and home.
Spent 2 more days wandering around Boston in the beautiful weather. In deference to my now seriously dodgy knee (the dip in the canal ended up being worse than I first thought) we caught the hop on-hop off trolley … Continue reading
Boston Days 1 & 2

Leeds & Liverpool Canal.
We are now at the highest elevation we will take the boat to, and we’ve also been as far north as we are going. Up until today we were heading south again. However the canal gods had a different plan for us. … Continue reading
