Cruises aboard our bespoke boat “Parting Shot”

Busy going nowhere as we avoid the Jubilee crush and find ourselves seven miles from home ten days later.

Bringing the freshly blacked boat slowly home via Birmingham, birthday dinners, barbecues and bonfires.

Travelling to Springwood Haven to have the boat's hull blacked with BSS signoff and Archie training on the way.

Archie finds his feet in pubs and clubs, on boats and trains and prepares for life as a boat dog.

A new plan for the weeks ahead and a visit from an engineer but no resolutions.

A final trip up The Nene, a week "off" and the return, via Northampton, to canal world.
