With early promise of a nice summer we have had a very unsettle time but that is really a normal English summer!
Everyone has been enjoying the freedom from our restrictions with wonderful trips in what is the best view of England, that from a Narrow boat.
If you are still hoping to enjoy an Autumn cruise take a look at our few remaining shares.
You could soon be enjoying quality time from your own shared boat.
With the coming of high summer it is time to remember all those little checks that are easy to forget when enjoying your holiday.
Engine checks of oil, gearbox oil and water are the basics but just a quick look around the engine bay is always a good idea.
Are the alternator belts both still on?
Is the stern gland dripping ?
Is the greaser full?
Is there an unusal amount of oil or water in the engine bilges.?
These quick checks can help to spot something going wrong.
If in doubt give the helpline a ring to discuss your concerns.
The summer is here and the nights are long, perfect for extending the cruising day.
Share sales have been very busy and if a share looks interesting please do not delay in viewing to avoid missing your perfect boat.
Prices are very keen and the cost of a share and the running costs for the year are cheaper than a peak season week of hire.
So why not take a look for your boating holiday's sorted for the years to come.
With the early summer here at last and the pubs open and the feeling that life is starting to return to a new sort of normal, we are all looking to escape our own four walls.
The best escape can only be the canals if you want total freedom for restrictions and no masks.
It is amazing.
Lets hope for a pleasant summer so that everyone can enjoy a little sun and freedom
What a wonderful experience to go boating on the canals, it feels as if Covid 19 never happened, well until you go into town.
The canals are beautiful with wild flowers and a lovely array of greens of spring.
Boating is just an amazing way to enjoy the countryside but away from the worries of our daily life.
We still have a few shares for sale with weeks during summer, so take a look.
At last I have been cruising, it is wonderful.
Life feels so much better on the canals.
Everyone is so pleased to stop and chat and the spring weather has made it just perfect.
Even if you cant boat try getting out on the towpath and enjoy life again!
Now we are all busy cruising, it is amazing to take this step back to normality.
Shares sales are very busy and we are welcoming many new couples and families to our shared boats.
If you would like to find out more about shared boating, Ownashare love to talk to potential boaters.

On a wonderful day in very late March I am writing this blog.
The sun is amazing and we all wish we could be on the cut again.
We were very lucky and had to move a boat for its engineering last week and so had two wonderful free days boating!
The sun was out and it felt as if Covid was a distant memory.
Well until we arrived at the boat yard and it was back to the masks and distancing again.
It was amazing to just enjoy the sun, spring, birds and early flowers.
As Easter and our path back to boating is fast approaching, we are all eager to start cruising again.
Our stock of boat shares although I have had a few additions they are fast disappearing.
If you are keen to purchase a share then do not delay!
With the end of winter in sight and the joys of spring upon us.
I have seen my first Brimstone butterfly and my first lamb.
The insects are on the wing in the sun the birds are singing and performing their mating rituals.
Life does indeed feel more positive than at any time in the recent past.
