Hail to all you Hivers!
We are now settling into a groove on the Narrowboat, still learning but no longer feeling the need to cover big distance. It matters not. I have started to look for nice spots to stay a little earlier in the day. So if we start cruising before 10:30 i am happy to stop after 2:30-3pm and start scanning for a spot.

The boat coming round the conrer, in the image below was ahead of us earlier i the day as he helped me squeeze my little boat into a spot to top up my water tank at a water point. I asked if he'd stopped to eat as i didn't see how we could possibly have passed him. Indeed he had.
It's beautiful on the canals here in the UK as you can see, but it is also extremely friendly.
