Python & Dawn Rose - On The Tideway

[cheshire~rose]

The boats are ready!

 

Breasted up in "The Idle Hole" at West Stockwith are Python and Dawn Rose - the Chesterfield Boat. 

Tomorrow at around midday we will leave the canal and head out onto  the tidal waters of The Trent. 

Dawn Rose has never left The Chesterfield Canal before and Python has never towed on the tideway either so this is going to be a bit of an adventure and a new learning curve for our crews. 

 

 

Dawn Rose is due for docking so we are taking her to Langley Mill Boatyard where we know a warm welcome awaits. 

 

The planned route is as follows: 

Overnight stops at Torksey on Tuesday, Newark (Kings Marina) on Wednesday, Nottingham on Thursday, Trent Lock on Friday and Langley Mill on Saturday

 

Please come and say hello if you are around where we moor overnight or give us a wave as we pass 

 

 

Surrounded by plastic boats they look a bit out of place :) 

 

Tomorrow we go that way:

Good luck with the trip. What an adventure. Do you have the mast and sails ready in case Python needs some help?. ?
