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...

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 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 adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Sunday, 31 May 2015. Getting out of bed in the morning and getting a wet foot is not a good experience , but when you are on a boat alarm bells immediately start ringing in your head. Are we sinking? Has Hamish had an accident in the night? Has a water pipe or the water tank sprung a leak? Carolyn Curly and Hamish on swing bridge duty on route to Bradford on Avon . At the Boatyard the n...

Last night we heard an almighty commotion on the side of Inca and we got into a bit of a panic as we didn't have a clue what was going on .When we looked out of the front a Swan was attacking the Galley window . Friday, February 27, 2015. Monday, 23 February 2015. Probably the newest items in the museum are the race suit and helmet worn by Lewis Hamilton. We we...

After a few very enjoyable days at Alrewas our time was up and we had to leave.We pulled pins at 06.55 and headed straight for the lock heading West. It was then on to Fradley junction and on to the services . While we were filling with water I had a look at this restored 1954 Ford 10cwt van. Its a bit sparse on the inside and where is the radio? Arriving in Ru...

The adventures of Gary and Carolyn living aboard and continuously cruising the uk canals and rivers on narrowboat Inca. Friday, 7 August 2015. After a few days on The Erewash we make an early start and pull pins at 07.40 and head down through Trent lock and out onto The river Trent. On The river Soar and its not long before we get to Kegworth deep lock. This lock was in the news last year when a hire boat had a slight accident. Even floating log cabins need blacking. Just loved this boat name …. Back on ...
