[Retired lady narrow boat owner seeks boating companion]

Hi,

I can see that this message is a couple of years old, but I don't know how to find other  boaters to travel with (separate boats, any gender).

My husband is accident prone, so we have to sell our boat. Before that, I would love to go on a trip (solo) with another boat, if I can get to a narrow canal with single locks (Oxford, Coventry etc.) I have 6 weeks left!

I steer and do single locks for him, though neither of us is fit enough to operate the GU heavy lock gates, which is why we have to sell our boat - heartbreaking for me, as I love it.

I don't think climbing on the roof would be good, so I guess if there are 2 of you, each does the locks for the other boat. Not sure?

Any helpful replies are welcome.
