The "gusts of wind" in the weather forecast were so loud, they woke me up. Roaring.
Also, waves slapping the hull and dishes clinking as the boat moves.
I fear for my chimney and its rain hat. (I know what it's actually called, but since I assume that term has a racist derivation, so rain hat […]
Bridge and reflections on Grand union canal
A gorgeous photo of reflections on the Grand Union Canal. We are so lucky to spend every day out on the water, along the beautiful Grand Union Canal 💙🌊 thank to our wonderful volunteer Steve for the photo 📸🌟 #Volunteer #Canal #GrandUnionCanal #Ukcanals #Reflections #SaturdayMood #Charity #Boathire

#Boatlife day 489
Tree stopped play on the Llangollen two years ago.
And today, day 1294, on the feisty edges of Storm Dave, I'm listening to the branches of trees next to my boat clacking together like the bones of skeletons 🫣🌬️🍃🛥️

A brass toilet lock with a dial that says VACANT. It's mounted on an oak door that has an angled edge. This angled door, when it swings open, will clear the angled cabin wall. (The walls on a narrowboat typically angle inward. This is called the "tumble".)
There's an old-fashioned Vacant/Occupied dial on the boat's toilet door. It's angled. When it swings open, it clears the tumble (inward slant) of the cabin wall.
The shower is in a walk-through room. Its wood doors don't lock. In an emergency, I want […]

At the stern hatch of a boat, a hand and thumb push a brass sliding bolt into its slot chiselled into an oak block. The block is attached to the overhead hatch. Most of the boat interior is oak wood, and the metal parts are brass. Along the upper-left edge of the hatch there's a door sweep, mounted upside down to keep out spiders.
For the stern hatch, I bought much larger, sturdier, brass sliding bolts.
Oak is hard wood, so it took a chisel and mallet, drill, hacksaw, and screwdriver to mount them. But it wasn't difficult.
Opening the hatch takes only 2 seconds—faster than I […]

Good morning, truly hoping everyone is enjoying their long Bank Holiday weekend (hopefully not too badly affected by Dave) - a couple of photographs I took during Buster the Boat Dog's walk this morning.

I've been thinking about security. I need some bigger, stronger latches.
I think the culprit must have been interrupted by a passer-by.
Nothing was stolen but I can't think of another reason why I found the current latches broken.

Moved from Rode Heath on the T&M (incl Heartbreak Hill) and onto the Wardle canal. 20 locks, 10 miles, strong winds, sunshine and rain. Single handed. Now tired. #Canal #UKCanals

Mr and I have had fabulous day out at a nature reserve today. So lovely and green and not very busy

If you’ve ever wondered how you get from there to here, check out our video showing the five year journey it took to continuously cruise the English Canals!
Whatever advice we have is in the video for those thinking of doing the same!

Swans on canal with people walking alonh towpath
Today is #NationalWalkingDay 🚶♂️💙
With miles of beautiful British waterways to explore, why not take a walk along your local canal and enjoy the nature and scenery around you. A simple walk along the towpath can be a great way to relax & boost your well-being 🌿 #Towpath #Canal #Charity #UKCanals
A canal lined with trees on both sides. Alongside the canal, some trees are greening, some not yet. My train is crossing a bridge with a low, white railing; it is blurred, due to the train's speed. To the left, a high-speed train entering the frame in a blur. On the right is a green field and some distant trees. The lower half of the photo is filled by train tracks. Some catenary wiring is visible against the sky, which is partly cloudy, partly blue.
In England, canal companies preceded railway companies. Canals were dug along a level route. Later tracks were often laid alongside and overtop of canals.
I managed to get a photo of the Oxford North canal near Hillmorton, just as an oncoming train […]

Another happy customer leaves the boat with a waffle cone topped with Oreo pieces, Marshmallows, chocolate sauce and a flake.

I'm scheduling people to join the boat next week. We'll fare well along a stretch of tree-lined canal that has a few locks to operate.
They'll be relaxing days of enjoying the sights, the waterway, and the wildlife (ducks, coots, moor hens, geese, and swans). Oh, and there will be stimulating […]
It is time to prepare the boat for boating. After all, it's not only a home and a (slow) mode of transportation, it's also a boat—a source of entertainment.
