How glad I am that I have found this site. So much information and a good laugh too.
Myself and hubby are taking our first narrow boat shortbreak holiday 1st April! – Hope we both don’t end up being the April Fool. We can’t wait. We have done a bit of yacht sailing in the Ionian Seas, so have a bit of an idea, but still feel a bit nervous. The boat we have hired is about 14 foot longer than those we have sailed.
God help us if we love it, because already we seem to be spending every weekend looking around local marinas, walking along canal sides and looking at boats for sale – talking already about buying one for holidaying, if we like it.
We shall be picking up at Ellesmere, and are hoping to get there and back (wherever there is!)in one piece. Just taking it easy, taking in the sights of the canal side and being in the fresh air - plenty of chillaxing.
Thanks all for your interesting advice, already written. Hope we manage OK!
PS Thanks to NB Alnwick for welcoming me on board for the first time last week when I joined the site.
