We managed to get a little further this time, but not as far as planned.
Cruising England's canals and having a beer along the way. A blog of occasional news about our trips round England's canals firstly on Nb Eos - a share boat, and then our first boat Nb Notos and now Nb Hamwih.

2nd Trip (Sun 16th March)
With another nice weekend forecast we decided to take Notos out again. It would have been nice to use the whole weekend, but I had already arranged to stay over in Southampton on the Friday so that I could watch the Saints. A satisfying 4-2 win, but very fraught for the last 5 minutes when Norwich scored two late goals to make it 3 -2. Only eased at the last kick of the game when Sam Gallagher scored his first senior goal to secure the win.

We had hoped to get to Braunston Junction, but were following a pair of boats (Turo the motor & Ditton the butty), which delayed us slightly and meant we had to turn at the winding hole between bridges 99 & 98. As it was we only just got back and moored before the light faded completely.
