We have reached the middle of the year and enduring a heatwave. Cruising this season is very different, clear blue skies and wonderful sunrises and sets are joyful to observe.
We are now building our new boat and looking forward to seeing it in September.
Come and see us at the share show at Overwater Marina 8th & 9th September

Having just returned from 10 days on the Llangollen canal in temperatures of high twenties and low thirties I have never seen the countyside so dry and lacking in green.
This is in stark contrast to our trip two years ago seen from under an umbrella.
Do take care in the heat but enjoy the clear skies and wonderful scenery of our English countryside

As we enter summer and leave spring behind us we are greeted by a wonderful scene.
Beautiful wildflowers, new life beginning with ducklings and chicks of varied creeds.
While cruising I have noted an absence or Coots again this year which is rather concerning.
I hope you too are enjoying the wonders of summer.

Crick boat show was very busy and with numerous enquiries and viewings booked it proved very successful.
Thank you for attending the Ownashare trailer over the bank holiday and I look forward to talking to you over the coming weeks.
As the summer season fully begins all of our boats are out enjoying the relaxing pleasure of the english countryside I hope you will be joining them soon.

The sun is shining after a very cold end to April.
Let us hope for more settled times in May.
I am busy preparing for my first trip of the season.
Looking around the countryside it has suddenly burst into life with the fading of the dark frames of the trees in winter to the fluffy green of spring growth.
The birds are very active and broken shells are evidence of new life.
The spring flowers are brightening the scenery and making us glad to be alive.

Five Ownashare managed boats attended the national share show at Braunston on 21st and 22nd of April.
We were treated to a mini heatwave and share sales were brisk with 6 share sales on the 5 boats.
You can visit us at the Crick Boat Show 26th to the 28th May.
Look out for our show bargains they offer exceptional value.
All shares are competitively priced and many owners are open to reasonable offers.

After suffering one of the most unsettled starts to Spring in memory at least the temperature is rising.
All of our boats are now cruising the system and we all hope the snow and rain has replenished the reservoirs.
The national share show is fast approaching and I look forward to meeting old and new friends at the event.

What happens when the canal freezes.
Four of our share boats became stuck in the ice this season and all of our owners were fantastic.
All of the boats stayed warm and cosy, although water was one item that was not easy to refill and washing needed to be kept to a minimum.
After 4 days and daily chats no boat needed the owners to be recovered although plans were in place to provide extra gas and water if required.
Now most boats are again on the move all be it slowly and with great care in a few days it will seem a distant memory.

The snow has started to disappear and the ice has thinned.
The intrepid boaters will soon be released from their enforced stay.
Our hope now is for a quick transformation into spring and with share enquiries starting to increase it feels as if the boating year is beginning.
We have new shares being offered shortly and remember to add the 21st and 22nd April to your diary for the share show at Braunston Marina.
Available to view with their owners on board to chat to;
Beeston Castle, Farndon, Forget me knot, Minuet.
