Hi I go narrowboating every year with friends, and I am hoping to take my guides on the canals too. The problem is, I am quite short. Unless I stand on tiptoes I cannot see what's ahead or in the water. Has anyone come across any equipment that might work? I have tried a step, but that only works in a straight line. I have tried sitting above the gas, but again only works in straight line or steering to one side. Any solutions greatly appreciated :-P
