  1. Join us tonight as we reflect on that often under-appreciated companion to the canals, the humble towpath. We uncover its vital importance in the past and how in, recent years, its relationship with the canal has been changing. We also meet up again with E. Temple Thurston and the good captain Eynsham Harry as the meet a figure of the forgotten past.

  2. Christmas is coming and everything seems to becoming increasingly frantic. So, why not steal away for a short while to join us on the NB Erica to enjoy the feeling of waiting for Christmas to arrive in its special way to the cut?

  3. Made it - just!! Managed to record a quick Summer Readings episode. At a time when many of us on the canals are feeling the strain of today’s network, it is good to be reminded of just how far we’ve come — and of the grit and vision of those who fought for the future of our waterways. Tonight we listen to Tom Rolt’s account of his journey up the Stratford (North) and the ‘battle for Bridge Number 1 (Lifford Lane).'

  4. So after an incredibly frustrating year, we finally installed a new engine in late April, only to discover it leaked coolant because the company that built it didn’t torque down a bunch of the head bolts. It took six weeks for my crazy busy local shop guys to finally get to work on it and hallelujah, iI think we got it. Took it out Sunday for a test run and everything went perfectly. Whew! #Alaska #Seward #ResurrectionBay #boatlife
