Although this book is primarily for boating novices or those contemplating acquiring or hiring a narrowboat, I hope experienced skippers will enjoy reading the stories and reliving similar events from their past. This book is all about learning to become a competent narrowboat captain. The book is part adventure story and part training manual. It's essentially 'learn by example' via a collection of twenty narrowboat journeys that took place over the period 2005 to 2020 when Covid forced their end. The book is not a travelogue. All the locations mentioned have excellent descriptions and images online and elsewhere. No, it's a piece about family and friends and their adventures on hired narrowboats. It's about the pleasures of spending a week or two aboard these quaint craft. It's about recovering from mistakes and learning from those experiences. And finally, it's about living in the moment in a parallel universe as glorious British countryside drifts by at less than four miles per hour.
