Another first in our #narrowboat life, booking into a marina!!! Have to entertain some friends from the US both on and off the boat, and balance out batteries, so we thought why not get to know the marina experience? Only for two weeks, the #ukcanal is already calling!!!

This couple is sooo cute, and their videos are uniquely entertaining, showing an overlooked part of narrowboat life. Fun fact, they were the first YouTubers we ever met and were just as gracious when we ran into them again earlier this year.

Wendy came up with a thing! ‘Today’s duck hatch view’ With one foot in Old Wolverton and a stones throw from the Tesco superstore, it’s relatively quiet and beautiful. Very excited about being in Milton Keynes!! #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #LoveTwoTravel #photography #TravelAddicts

The team had run out of spoil storage space at Gallows Reach and is only half way through constructing the canal section up to the lift bridge. So they had a 'muckshift' this week to create more temporary storage space. They've cleared about fifty metres so far. #UKCanals #WeDigCanals #Lichfield
An orange excavator sits on freshly dug earth beside a road, its bucket lowered toward the ground. Deep tyre tracks run along the cleared dirt path, where a second piece of construction machinery is visible further back. Dense green trees and bushes surround the site, and traffic signs line the adjacent road under an overcast sky.

I really hate falling out of bed in the morning. Is it so difficult to close the lock gates properly? Please pay attention people, there’s still a drought on the canals. Lost water can’t be easily replaced. #UKCanals
View from the stern of a narrowboat showing a lot of mid and weed and almost no water. Both boats are aground.

Good news! An early start and we made it through the Watford Flight before it closed, and the Buckby Flight in the same day! All this means no video this week🤷‍♂️ Now. How much of the network we can cruise until the rain brings everything back to normal? #narrowboat #ukcanals #uk #TravelAddicts

Finally finished with our handover and just when we thought we’d make it to Market Harborough, the realization we have to get back to Crick and queue up to get through the Watford Lock before it closes until the water shortage works itself out. 😳 #narrowboat #canal #ukcanals #uk #photography

Hazy summer morning on the Rochdale Canal at Hebden Bridge. #UKCanals @towpathtalk.bsky.social @iwa-uk.bsky.social #LifesBetterByWater @slowwaysuk.bsky.social The start of a very hot walk to Halifax, canal and hills.
Looking along the towpath shaded by a tree, but into the sun. Along the canal there are several boats moored on the opposite bank, and one has smoke coming from a chimney causing a bit of a haze further along the canal.

For my friends on the #ukcanals who wonder why I’m so comfortable boating on the Trent or Avon, the Ohio River here at home is at 16’ ATM (4’ above normal pool). Minor Flood stage is 55’. Our record flood is 86’. Pano below. Will try to drop a video.

@drlucyrogers.com asked for photos of Up out in the wild, so naturally mine was taken at the top lock at Hillmorton 😄📚🚤 It not only made me look up, it also made looking up safe by blocking the sun ☀️ Purchased from Hunts #BookSky #CanalLife #Narrowboat #Liveaboard #Up #UKCanals #IndependentBookShop
A copy of Up by Dr Lucy Rogers is held up against a bright blue sky at the top lock at Hillmorton. The photo is taken from a low angle on a narrowboat, with the book blocking the sun and acting like a sunshade. Part of a lock gate and the boat’s tiller are visible below, giving the image a strong canal boating feel.

Now that we’ve moved onto the #narrowboat it’s a month of short cruises designed to test and configure the electrical system, getting the solar and generator to work together properly. We cruised to the Welford Arm today and will stay the night. Tough life but someone has to do it🤷‍♂️
