Spring has truly sprung with the buds bursting and the flowers popping up.
This marks the start of the cruising seasons formal start.
CRT stoppages are coming to an end and many boats will be venturing out after the winter quiet time.
Now is a perfect time to purchase a share in one of our syndicates boats.
Why not take a look at our shares for sales pages.

Winter has been very wet and this has caused problems on the canals with sink holes and landslips.

The bulbs are bursting into life and the hope of spring si in the air.

What a start to 2024
With so many natural and man made disasters.
Why not cheer ourselves up and buy a share in a narrowboat and look forward to cruising this year.

Ownashare would like to wish you all a happy, peaceful Christmas.

Why not treat your loved ones to a special Christmas present that lasts for years to come.
Purchasing one of your shares in a Narrowboat will bring many years of enjoyment!

With the late and wet autumn the leaves are still on the trees but they are now starting to fall and causing slowing of your cruising trips.
Just taking the power off and letting the leaves sink away from the propeller can help or if this fails to help then a short reverse thrust can improve propulsion.
I hope you are all enjoying your cosy evenings by the fire with a good book.

October is here and the evenings drawing in.
The autumn colours are starting to emerge.
During October and early November we start to notice our engines starting to work harder and the boat speed decreasing.
This is often due to leaves being sucked up to the propeller, if this happens just pop the controller into neutral and they should fall to the bottom of the canal.
If that fails to help then a bit of reverse thrust can clear the propeller.
Patience is needed during autumn cruising.
Enjoy the marvellous colours

Sales continue to be very active
It is with great pleasure that we welcome new owners from abroad and at home.
The late burst of warmth after a cool and wet July has seen many new ducklings.
As we slide into September we look forward to the wonderful changes in colour that autumn brings.

I have been pleased to welcome so many new couples to Ownashare in July.
Share sales are at record levels and I look forward to helping many more boating folk to find their special boat share.
The cooler and wetter than usual July has been a blessing to the canals and the water levels.
I do hope that you have been able to enjoy the canals and its environment this summer

July has arrived and at last a little respite from the heat of June.
The canals are full of colour with the butterflies, wildflowers and young ducklings, cygnets and goslings.
Even if you are unable to go boating a walk along the towpath will bring joy at this time of the summer.
Boat sales are still busy and there are still bargains to be snapped up with weeks available this summer.
A new share on Minuet has two august weeks and costing less than a hire boat.

With the warmer weather and the wonderful greening of the landscapes, cruising is at is prettiest.
The cygnets and ducklings are all swimming around and a special sight to behold.
The wild flowers are blooming and every turn of the canal a new vista.
What more can anyone ask for but the joys of nature.
Why not come and join the shared boaters enjoying life.
