About Us

In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Limehouse


We had planned to leave our boats in a marina along the Paddington branch of the Grand Union. Our aim was to go out of Brentford onto the tidal Thames and up to Teddington. While we were at Little Venice we took a trip to Limehouse to see what it was like. our information from BW had told us that all boats over 45ft in length needed a VHF radio to leave from here. We met the lock keeper who informed us that we could go out of Limehouse after all so long as at least one boat had a radio. That changed our plans and we booked our passage to go out on 20th July on the 6am tide.
