Hello sailor


I'm thinking of going to live on a narrowboat when circumstances permit.
Anyone got experience of life at 5mph. Pros and cons please

By jove eyes pie, we could merge businesses, Arfur Nower coach trips and your canal cruises would go down a treet,
Book an holiday or cruise from my corner shop,

I-spy have a walk alongthe canal bank were boats are moored and have a chat with the boat owners. They will let you know about the pros and cons

Don't forget to fit cannons on either side when cruising through poolstock.

Its one of those things that can drive a man over the top,
