About Us

My photo
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.

What a sunset!

Bank Holiday Monday. With any luck the canals will be quieter now that the kids are due back to school soon. Ian has painted the gunwales today. He should have done them yesterday but we had a torrential downpour at about 1 pm and then a gale blew for the rest of the afternoon so he abandoned any idea completely. We will have to move soon as our loo is filling rather rapidly, I blame it on Ian's beer drinking. No it cant possibly be all the tea I drink!!!!The services are at Napton so as we are facing that way we will wind round and then use the facilities. As the moorings are just perfect for painting Ian is planning to do the other side as well.Posted by Picasa
Still not sure if we are going to head for Warwick. As we need to be back at Milton Keynes again middle of September, we may take a slow meander south down the Grand Union.
