About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Marsworth and Wide Beam Still Rockin’

 

This week was too hot to walk the dogs at www.appledown.co.uk/ so went down to Marsworth to see the sights.

In the car park was a rather nice Suzuki M800 Intruder…

Look at all that chrome to polish, puts my old Bonniville that I used to own to shame.

There were plenty of trip boats doing a roaring trade along the cut..

Walking along the towpath I recognised Wide Beam Still Rockin’ from their blog http://wbstillrockin.blogspot.co.uk/ and hoped somebody would be aboard to say hello.

while husband George was away on family matters.

We had a chat as you do and wished them all well on their beautiful

wide beam.

Lovely to have met you Carol.

    Nb Ezra is up for sale, thought it would suit you Dave. Saw it on the Canal World Forum and Appollo Duck site btw.

    Hi Wozie, yes I have seen that one before, a lovely looking tug but I think a bit short for living aboard full time.
