About Us

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.

Boat Adrift


This was the third boat adrift today. A St Johns wide beam boat had passed us a while back. In fact Ian mentioned that it was going a little fast. We had to hang back to let it pass some moored boats and as we got level with them, Ian notice that his front pin had been pulled. We passed with no mishap and a couple walking their dog managed to bring it back to the side. So we were not at all surprised to spy this boat across the cut. Not just this one but a small cruiser also drifting about without his mooring pins. Ian did the gentlemanly thing and went to sort it out. A lady from another boat came to help him and eventually the boat was secured and we went on our way.
