New Year, new paint and new experiences.

The last few days have been full of new. I am back in England, and have spent the past 5 days ‘camping’ on my boat as the final details of the new paint job were completed. Yesterday was ‘moving day’ and the boat is back in the water, from Nuneaton on the Coventry canal. Today after overnighting in torrential rain, the sun was out (I got sunburned from the glare!) and all was as great as could be for a winter cruise. The photos are from my favourite stretch of canal north of Rugby: peaceful, secluded, and sheltered.

I am glad to be back aboard and cruising. After more than 5 weeks away, being back on board, and with the peace of canal time really returning, I am glad to be on the boat. I think the new paint and signwriting stands out. Your opinions and comments appreciated.

I will be back to Braunston tomorrow, and re-establish contacts with the community there. I have guests early next month, and then???

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.
