After six and a half years living on a narrowboat on England's inland waterways, Paul and his wife Cynthia wandered Europe by motorhome during the winter, and on the Dutch and French waterways in the warmer months on their 35' Dutch motor cruiser. However, the pull of England's muddy ditches proved too much for them. Now they're back where they belong, constantly stuck in mud in a beautiful traditional narrowboat.

Just a quick note to test my link to the forum and thank you for all the hard work and energy you put into running this site. My husband and I are planning to buy a narrow boat when we retire and continuous cruise for 6-8 months of the year, so the information on your site is invaluable in helping us plan for this exciting, but rather scary, period of our lives. I love the chat, the information and the enthusiasm of your site and I wanted you to know that your hard work is appreciated.
