The most exhausting, challenging and joyful holiday I've had. I completely underestimated the effort and concentration that goes into driving and narrow boat. Big shout out to all the boaters that helped us turn around, moor up and push off! I've never met so many helpful humans. We even met a celebrity 😉 My goal was to drive the 69ft boat without panic but as relaxed as all the passers by and a beer in hand, and by the 7th day I did it (ended up with a cider instead). My crew and I navigated winding bends, shallow waters, a lock, a swing bridge, 2 aqueducts and an angry Swan. We got into a few pickles but always laughed at the end of the day. Such a fab way to create memories with my parents and kids 💕
