The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Wednesday, 25 June 2014. Here, There And Everywhere. Salthouse Dock, our mooring for the last few days. We have visited Liverpool a few times over the last ten years so knew what to expect as we dropped down the short flight of locks that connects the canal to the superbly renovated and bustling central dockland area of this famous city. The old tobacco warehouse in Stanley Dock. There...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Trains, planes, automobiles and a ferry too. Locals we have encountered, as we have have made our way north from Los Angeles to Vancouver have inevitably commented “You guys must right at home with this weather”. It’s certainly been colder than home, that’s for sure. We check out Muscle Beach, below the pier at Santa Monica. We rolled along in a big Chevvy Equ...

Narrowboat Inca: June 2015
http://nbinca.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Tuesday, 30 June 2015. After a good night in Warwick we awoke with the thought of the Hatton flight of 21 locks in front of us . In fact it was 23 locks as there are the 2 Warwick cape locks before the main flight. But lucky for us there was a boat waiting on the bottom lock landing for a boat to share with. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Monday, 29 June 2015. One of the most famous boats on t...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Propped up at Norbury. After limping through much of Cheshire and Shropshire, the Cat’s Whiskers now sports a brand new, sparkly bronze propeller, fitted at Norbury Wharf on Sunday. I can’t say it has made an enormous amount of difference to the boat’s performance, but at least we go in a straight line now,. We slowly back in beside the other boat. I continu...

Narrowboat Inca: Ticked the box
http://nbinca.blogspot.com/2015/08/ticked-box.html
The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Thursday, 6 August 2015. We pulled pins at dead on 07.00 with our travelling companions for the day Neil and Ann on NB Heartsease. I think they were just as keen as us to get down through all of those 14 hard heavy locks in one day. With most of the industry gone at least the remaining chimneys serve a good purpose as mobile phone masts. Thursday, August 06, 2015. 6 August 2015 at 05:57.

Narrowboat Inca: Lurking
http://nbinca.blogspot.com/2015/08/lurking.html
The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Sunday, 16 August 2015. Tixall lock and again we were third in line to go up . I think we will have to start having some early mornings to miss all the queues as we are now well and truly into the silly season for the canals. We passed this chap lurking behind a bush. Curly reckons he's up to no good. We should be OK if we break down here. Sunday, August 16, 2015. 16 August 2015 at 14:52.

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. Back On The Main Line. Pat and I enjoy the Hertfordshire sunshine. Some of the Aylesbury Ukulele Club at chucking out time. One of the best clubs I have visited. Then we pushed on to Leighton Buzzard and got on to the Tesco mooring and did some shopping around the town and a couple of sirloin steaks in the local Wetherspoons, which were remarkably good as well.

Narrowboat Inca: Erewash Canal
http://nbinca.blogspot.com/2015/08/erewash-canal.html
The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Tuesday, 4 August 2015. We pulled pins at 07.45 and dropped down the lock and into Shardlow. Curly liked this planter. Soon we were through Trent lock and out onto The River Trent. After being advised by the people in the rubber dinghy about all of the sailing dinghies we made a left turn and into the mouth of the Erewash canal. We eventually found a bit of open country near Shipley loc...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Thursday, 23 July 2015. Adventure, not Dementia. There was a programme about caravanning on TV last night. We watched it, as a lot of gadgets designed for the caravan market, can be useful on a narrowboat. The Greyhound at Hawkesbury Juncion, where the Oxford meets the Coventry Canal. Ann models her Cat's Whiskers limited mug. We are currently in the tiny village of Hopwas, near Lichfi...

The Cat's Whiskers nb. Our adventures on the canals and rivers of England and Wales aboard narrowboat The Cats Whiskers. Sunday, 23 August 2015. Back On Dry Land. Back in Great Ganett, Welwyn Garden City. Please excuse work trousers and slippers. As you can see, our life has changed, yet again, and we are back in our house in Welwyn Garden City, preparing it for the `For Sale` sign, that is to be erected any day now. They have taken all the photos and it should be on ‘Zoopla’ and ‘R...We do have a bed th...
