I know we have quite a few 
comrades here… so years ago, I learned about canal boats. The whole things seems really cool and cozy to me. However, I also get the impression that it’s generally considered very boring. Have you gone on a canal boat trip before? Did you enjoy it?
Check out cruising the cut on YouTube. Dude was a bbc presenter who quit his job and bought a narrow boat. He did about 200 episodes just filming the countryside and adding commentary before he got sick of it. I'm not a boat person, but I think I might fly my bike over and ride the tow path from London to Scotland
