March has taken us back to winter.
Cruising in the late winter is peaceful and very relaxing.
If you want to join one of our syndicates, now is the perfect time to ensure you can enjoy a spring, summer and autumn this year.

After the very cold snap usual wet and windy weather has arrived.
This is our busy time of year repairing the boats for the coming early spring cruising.
It is a perfect time for a very quiet cruise.
The beauty of shared boats is they are available throughout the year and that means for those who enjoy a quiet cruise and cosy nights by the fire,you can pick up a week in winter to enjoy that.

2023 has started with mild weather and most of our boats in for maintenance.
You may also notice that shares have been selling over the winter and our stock is rather low.
I have a few shares due to come on the market in the coming month so keep checking the website.

I would like to wish you a wonderful festive season and New Year

Christmas cruising is very popular get away.
The canal stoppages cease over the holidays and many of our boaters will be enjoying the festive season on the canals.
With the cosy solid fuel stoves and the peace of the wonderful English countryside, what is there not to love!

With the chimneys out and the fires alight, it is time to ensure our Smoke and Co2 monitors and working.
Stoves need care in use and checking the (baffle plate) plate a the top of your fire bricks for soot can avoid a blockage.
If your stove is sluggish please do check that the flue is clear and the baffle plate is clear to ensure we all can enjoy safely the joys of a solid fuel stove.

With the very mild temperatures we have been blessed with a pleasant early autumn.
The promise of more usual temperatures will have us reaching for a winter woollies.
But boating in winter can be a very peaceful and restful time on the canals.
Shorter days and cosy evenings in front of a lovely warm fire can be very appealing.
Why not head out to the canal system and enjoy life on the cut.

With the autumn comes the dropping of leaves into the canal and a timely reminder that if your boat looses propulsion and the propeller is clear it could be leaves.
The propeller sucks the leaves to itself and if you take the boat out of gear the leaves will drop away.
It can be very slow progress through very leafy areas with propulsion on and off until you get to a clearer stretch.
