About Us
- Ian and Irene Jameison
- 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.

My bitch of the day!
Every single boater whether it be newbies or old timers has been told at some time or another that to pass a moored boat on a canal one should do know more then 2 mph. So why is it that some private boat owners think it is there god given right to pass at whatever speed they like!!! We have always complained about the hire boaters charging past but not so anymore as more and more boat owners are flaunting this basic waterway etiquette. We know that on engine tick over we do 2mph. I suggest that every boat owner does the same! 8 boats have come past us today and only one slowed down, a hire boat, enough not to tip the boat alarmingly. Please please slow down. After all we are all on the water to enjoy a slower pace of life. If you want to hurry, go back to a car!!!

Well said that woman!! :)
Agreed 'I' - how about a name and shame tab on all our blogs, or even better bung photos of these offenders on Facebook. We've got a trolling valve so can get as slow as about 0.5 mph on a wind free day but usually pass at a little less than 2mph :-)
