  1. Hey #Boativerse ! Looking for a welder around E5 on the Lea for a small but critical job overplating the chimney hole in my roof, which is oversized, corroded, and preventing the install of a new wood burner. Thanks for any leads 🙌

    We often visit our granddaughter who lives with her Mum in Sale and stay for a few days in a cottage that was probably built in the 1770s and sits on the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal at Preston Brook. The building of the Bridgewater Canal kick-started the Industrial Revolution and the cottage was built at what was to become its junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal. There's a whole lot of history there which I'm beginning uncover in this article.

  16. Amsterdam, cargo bike zooms by, a whirlwind of chaos and smiles. Up front sit three children, giggling at something only they understand. The cyclist weaves skillfully past tourists and traffic.

  17. Yes YES babes it is sunny on the river today and I have this morning successfully cruised my 60 tons of Dutch barge to the water point and back after a lot of prep, for only the second time ever. Turning a 74 foot boat in an 80-90 foot wide river is not for the faint of heart but it was was pretty smooth this time. Feels SO GOOD! #Boatstodon #CanalLife #BoatLife #liveaboard #BoatsThatToot #leaBoaters

  18. The footage of the canal breach at Whitchurch prompted a number of questions and messages of concern. Whilst (in canal terms) we are a long way away and not directly affected by it, this episode reflects on the breach following a challenging year on the canals and what it might mean for the future of life on the canal.
    *Spoiler - it is not all doom and gloom!*

  19. A #EurasianCoot comes straight at the lens, eyes locked, beak centered, no drama needed.
    #Amsterdam canals are full of tiny standoffs like this, one bird, one moment, all focus. 👀

  20. "Life's infuriating complexities... that make it all so worthwhile." The water levels may be low, but the conversation is deep. Tune in to catch up on all the ebbs and flows with us aboard the NB Erica. A warm welcome awaits.

  21. Some days, all you need is sunshine on your face, calm waters by the canal, and the gentle hum of a boat passing by. 🌞🛶
    Peace isn’t always loud — sometimes, it floats.

  22. Calm waters of Regent’s Canal wind through a vibrant mix of nature and urban art. Moored canal boats line one side, while colourful graffiti adds character to the opposite path.

  23. Regent’s Canal colourful narrowboats and pastel-hued homes lining the waterway. The still water creates a stunning mirror effect, reflecting the vibrant surroundings, a perfect snapshot of tranquillity in London.

  24. Regent’s Canal captures the peaceful charm of London’s waterways. Colourful narrowboats, vibrant foliage, and pastel houses reflect on the still water, blending urban life and nature—a scenic escape in the city.

  25. Camden Town combines industrial heritage with a modern flair. A graffiti-marked canal lock stands beside historic warehouses and sleek new buildings, capturing the area’s vibrance.

  26. Whispers of tradition echo along the canals of Venice at the historic Squero di San Trovaso, where the art of gondola craftsmanship sails through time. 🛠️🚣‍♂️
    I took this photograph a few days ago during a private 2-day photography masterclass here in Venice

  27. The simple joys of #boatlife. There are few things calculated to bring more joy to a #boater's heart than the feeling of having a full water tank and an empty toilet!
