Hey there!
Guess what? Summer is almost over, and we’ve had a bit of a rough time cruising this year. We were delayed because we had to wait to get the boat blacked. You know, you can’t have Tupac put on in the cold weather, right? Well, it turned out to be a waste of time becauseContinue reading “Hey there!”

Back on the cut. First Cruise of 2025
Hooray! We’ve finally escaped the marina for the week. Marina life always gives me a bit of cabin fever. While it’s convenient with electricity and water readily available, I much prefer the simplicity of being moored alongside the canal and minimising our reliance on those amenities.After stocking up on diesel, coal, and another gas bottleContinue reading “Back on the cut.
