ITS SUMMER AT LAST


Its that BIG CANOE again complete with a spot of new paint . We have moved from Fazeley down the Bham and Fazeley canal for a bit of peace and quiet and the chance to put some paint on the boat . Tomorrow we will return to Fazeley for a day where we will stock up the food store again .

Yes we are cruising again but i ask will we be able to cruise again next year or will we sit still and just charge the batteries . Well at least we are cruising at the moment we have cruised from Handsacre to Sutton Road Bridge at Fazeley and only been down the weed hatch once today.

ITS TIME FOR A CRUISE


We will be on our way towards Gt.Haywood just to stop us forgetting why we are on the boat.
Its time for the boat to get some movement and not just sit on the water ,well atleast we will have plenty of water and not scrape the bottom of the canal.

We are cruising again
