I know- I haven’t posted for quite a while. Here is the news.

I traveled over Christmas back to Canada to visit family and friends. Then, back to Britain, and a month of careful shopping for a different boat. I can report success: I’ve made an offer on a ‘Dutch steel cruiser’, a steel-hulled boat that is designed to be able to safely cross the English Channel, as well as cruise along the coastlines of Britain and continental Europe, while still maintaining the ability to explore the interior waterways of Europe.

I will post photos of the boat, and be resuming regular posts as I start to explore with the new boat. In the meantime, I continue my progress in bell-ringing. I rang some difficult bells on Thursday for a wedding, and am really hoping to complete a quarter peal of Bob Doubles (a particular method), before I start the next phase of travels.

Thanks for following!

About Ed Mortimer

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
