For those who haven't the will to watch a 45 minute video, here is my written account from 2013 of the Gota Canal (with lots of photos and a few short optional videos)

When we went we had to travel out to where the boat was as for some reason which I cant remember it couldn't get into town.

As I had sold theArthur back to Mike Streat, we parted company after the trip from France near these towers in the Thames Estuary. Mike wanted to get back to Braunston, where he had sold the business to Ladyline, but they were prepared to let him have some space.

 

On the way he found himself and family fiddling their way through one of those un-statutory narrowings British Waterways tended to make. Apart from that the trip went fine.

 

Secunda went on to Maldon in Essex, with plans to turn her into a hotel-barge. That's me in the window, wondering how the heck we were going to do it.

I once turned into the Wardle Canal after exiting Kings lock like that, just for the hell of it.

What other way is there of making that turn?

Wasn't one of them a pirate radio station for a short while? Radio City?

In 2001 bringing Thor back from Shannonharbour to sell as we had brought the barge in Belgium. Due to the foot and mouth outbreak in England we could not  move her from Calcut where it was put in the water so sold on from there. When I rang the truck driver at 9 am the next morning to see where he was he said on the way back to Liverpool and boat at Calcut.
