The Big Canoe has finished cruising


The Big Canoe has put away its paddles for the winter and we will put our feet up and keep warm until the next year . Lets hope next year is a little better for weather and the diesel price does not go to high .The picture is the big canoe moored on the Bham and Fazeley canal close to Drayton Manor .We on the big canoe wish all boaters a MERRY CHRISTMAS .
