[Piranha pine]

It's Parana Pine (comes from the state of Parana,and others). Piranha is a particularly vicious little fish, which makes good eating

in a stew!

"waived passed"? or waved past?

[The River Thames.]

In Germany, it is against the law to tie to a tree!

[cafe boat]

There's a café / sandwich business (boat-based) for sale in, I think, York. Look in ApolloDuck in

the businesses for sale section.

Thankyou very much. You've made my day!

 

I have booked the tug "Merlot" from Saisons for a week from Dec 4th so it looks like it's going

to be a little less warm than it is here!

[Narrowboat to Canada?]

I remember reading about a guy who had a narrowboat shipped across the Atlantic to

the US, and then trucked into Canada. IIRC he and his wife lived on the boat while

doing up a hotel on some Canadian canal.

Many thanks for that link, RLWP.

[Barge being towed off Dover]

So, anybody that asks CWDF about the viability of taking a narrowboat across to the Continent (sans low-loader and cross channel ferry)

only has to be referred to this video!

[Middlewich to Wrenbury]

I believe CanalPlan has a default setting of 2.5 mph, so if you were to go at something

approaching 4 mph (not too difficult at this time of year, I would imagine) then that

would reduce significantly the 'passage' time. (btw, do you know that boi in portuguese

means ox, bull, or bullock?).

But, if you want information/advice, at least have the courtesy to formulate your questions properly; i.e. no spelling mistakes, no ambiguity; you want answers and feedback, but think your questions through before posting - please!
