    suggest you come to Blackthorn Lake Marina on the River Nene. The charge for pulling you out and putting you back in is very reasonable. You can black the boat yourself or have it done for you, also you can stay on the boat whilst it is being done.

    • @NarrowboatWill

      Excellent news. I've got be quick getting on and off the Nene. I don't want to get caught in the rains. Thankyou Stephen.

    Oh dear! You moored down the narrow cut in St Ives with a practically impossible winding hole at the end - coveted by a funny old man who (illegally) permanently moors there and thinks it's his private area 😂. The first visitor mooring is full of swans and people who feed them! Wild moor if you need to stay longer than 48 hours Will.

    • @NarrowboatWill
      @NarrowboatWill  Рік тому +1

      That's good advice Jill. The winding hole is too short for my boat. There was a guy in a cruiser that seemed to stay there. The path was really high up as well. I had to climb on the roof to get off.

    Our four-year-old granddaughter has a guinea pig called Norris. Didn’t know he had a museum about him! Did you see the Chapel on the Bridge in Rotherham when you passed through (it's on the river Don close by the canal)? P.S. Another also available at Wakefield.👍👍

    • @NarrowboatWill

    Well Captain Will who do you most identify with - Kirk, Archer, Picard or Janeway? Kirk was a rogue, Archer was the sexiest, Picard was SO posh (lordy that voice!) and Janeway was the most capable.

      It's a peace lily. It's getting too big now. i might have to split it into two plants. Then it becomes a piece's lily. Ha ha
