Much A To Do About Nothing - Part 2

Hot on the back of last week’s topic about tidal waterways and the fear they tend to generate, here are a few pictures of Naughty-Cal and ourselves cruising on our local tidal waterways. Hopefully they will show the wide variety of scenery and the different character of the many different tidal waterways local to us, all within easy reach of our home mooring just outside Lincoln.

Without cruising on these tidal waterways we would be restricted to cruising on the Fossdyke and River Witham. As much as we like both the Fossdyke and the Witham we also like to explore new waterways and discover new places.

It may seem like a giant leap of faith for some to venture off of familiar and benign waterways and into the unknown of the tidal reaches beyond, but if we never take the opportunity and embrace the experience then there will be so many places that we will never see or go to. We have been extremely lucky with the places we have been and seen so early on in our boating careers but only because we have grasped the opportunities as they have arisen. Go on, get out there and explore, there are so many special places just waiting to be discovered.
