The Wash Up | Felucca
https://nbfelucca.wordpress.com/2014/05/14/the-wash-up
May 14, 2014. After getting up bright and early yesterday, we did some super-strength engine checks (basically the same as every day but we thought about them a lot), tidied up and then realised that we’d perhaps got up a little. Scheduled departure time: 7.30am. Time we were ready: 6.10 am. Nerds. Heading out from Wisbech in convoy. Passing the power station. This lighthouse was once owned by Peter Scott, bird conservationist and first husband of Elizabeth Jane Howard. With Andrew our pilot for the day.

Rolt. | Felucca
https://nbfelucca.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/rolt
October 1, 2013. We have just moored in Banbury, home to a well-known nursery rhyme and the start point of Tom Rolt’s epic, indulgent, nostalgic, restoration-inspiring, much-loved-in-canal-circles and, most of all, extremely opinionated account of his travels on board Cressy, Narrow Boat. LTC Rolt, Narrow Boat). So why oh why (and oh why oh why again) has Banbury chosen to commemorate Rolt with a concrete road bridge? The Tom Rolt road bridge in Banbury, with Felucca in the background. But don’t despairs...

From Ice Age to Leisure Age: the rise and fall and rise again of the Ellesmere Canal | Felucca

From Ice Age to Leisure Age: the rise and fall and rise again of the Ellesmere Canal. From Ice Age to Leisure Age: the rise and fall and rise again of the Ellesmere Canal. June 23, 2013. Ten millennia ago, the last Ice Age ended. The glaciers retreated. Scars and pock marks from these grinding rivers of ice marked the landscape in profound and lasting ways. Ellesmere was to be the administrative heart of this web. They hired Thomas Telford and he set up shop in a house there, and got to work. Things were...

Stoppage | Felucca
https://nbfelucca.wordpress.com/2013/07/19/stoppage
July 19, 2013. I do like a moving bridge. The canal system has many and they are interesting and varied. Some go up like a drawbridge. Others rotate on a turntable. Some are enormous and only need to be swung for boats with masts. Some are on fairly significant roads so are equipped with barriers and beeping traffic lights. In East Yorkshire there’s even a swing bridge which a railway crosses and boaters must consult a train timetable before opening it! Sean opens a lift bridge on the Stratford canal.

The River Thames | Felucca
https://nbfelucca.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/the-river-thames
October 30, 2013. Today we sailed Felucca from Limehouse Basin near Canary Wharf, through central London, to Brentford. Epic journey! Limehouse Basin at first light. High tide today was 10am, and so we left Limehouse Lock at 8am to ride the tide as it flooded upstream through the city. We got lucky with blue skies and a gentle 5mph breeze. Two days earlier we’d had 60mph gales. As Emily said, “I thought Tower Bridge was a gaudy bauble but it looks rather stately from here! Boris hard at work. Tom and the...
