Day started nice and sunny, but now to much wind to do deckwork, so afer the sunday regular 'cleaning-the-galley-and-bathrooms' job it's time to read. #boatlife
Eine Motoryacht unterwegs auf der Elbe bei Sonnenschein.
Weiter geht's mit dem Umzug nach Neuhaus an der Oste: Wunderschönes Wetter auf der Elbe ☀️ ich muss gegen die Tide fahren, damit ich um Hochwasser herum an der Barre (Untiefe am Eingang eines Flusses) der Oste bin. Wer weiß, was sich da über Winter getan hat […]

Photo of the ruins of a stone-built Benedictine priory.
Saw some ruins peaking mysteriously through the trees lining the Coventry Canal at Alvecote as I puttered past, and on further investigation found the remains of the mid-12th century Alvecote Priory.

Super calm morning in the anchorage. You’d never guess there is a gale warning for today. 40knots before lunch. Glad we check the weather so obsessively, without that we’d 1,000% be heading to the beach with a morning like this.

Photo of a former toll house overlooking the junction of the Coventry Canal and the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. The Coventry emerges from under a turnover bridge, while the right bank of the Bormingham & Fazeley, which disappears out of shot behind the camera, is lined by a modern industrial building decorated with murals of birds.
Bridge 77 on the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, originally built late-18th century. You have to travel over 5 miles and under another 17 bridges to get to bridge 78.

This morning while taking another load of gear ashore in the dinghy, the prop spun out causing me to idle back to the boat. Thank God I already have a spare propeller. Spend the $ on spares. #Nobleshift #moving #cruiselife #boatlife

We thought a downside of The Butty would be lock sharing days to meet lovely new people and do our bit to conserve water were over
Yesterday paired up with a 37ft boat which fitted in the locks perfectly with us

Photo of a modern narrowboat passing between the abutments of a dismantled railway bridge. Beyond the former bridge, a historic working boat that once transported coal from the Coventry coalfields is moored across the entrance of a basin that once served a colliery located next to the canal. Old maps show that the railway which used to cross the canal was a short branch line that linked a brickworks on the right bank with the colliery on the left bank and then connected to the main line railway that runs close to the canal. The Coventry Canal, begun 1768 but not completed until 1790, was part of the original waterway route between the Midlands and London which, unlike many other canals, remained a reasonably profitable commercial waterway into the 20th century, despite competition first from the faster Grand Union Canal route and then the railways.

Photo dominated by the bulbous bow of a historic, working narrowboat sitting high in the water because it is not loaded with the 72 tons it was designed to carry.
Big, brutish working-boat bow of historic NB Nuneaton, built 1936 to work the London–Midlands route, moored across the entrance to a small basin that once served Tamworth Colliery, now a boat yard on the Coventry Canal.

What camera do you take sailing?
GoPro – capture everything
360 – never miss a moment
DSLR – create something special
Real answer? Take two, or all of them

Hopefully, the final racking of this batch of six demijohns. Last years blackberries put to good use. #HomeBrew #countrywine #boatlife #Ukcanals a pleasant taste not overly sweet, fairly strong so this may last a while 🍜🍽️🍷
Plank voor plank. Millimeter voor millimeter.
Ik ben bezig met de laatste grote klus. Nieuwe teakvloer voor in de 4Recovery. Passen, kijken en meten, schuren en zagen totdat het klopt
Nog een paar dagen werk en dan ligt het eerste deel erin.

Photo of a narrowboat moored against the towpath as the setting sun turns leafless trees golden. On the opposite bank, an old barge on a hard standing is peaking out from behind a tress, while the bow of a historic working boatmoored on the offside just pokes into the shot.
Golden hour on the Coventry Canal
