So for us this is the chance to stretch Naughty-Cal's legs, open her up and let her sing as she cruises easily through the series of tight bends and corners. In a way cruising the river at speed is far more exciting than cruising on the coast. It is physically and mentally challenging as you keep to the windy channel.

Ready, Steady, Go!
And for the last in this shore series of video posts its our sprint from Gainsborough to West Stockwith. The old stone road bridge in Gainsborough marks the change in jurisdiction from Canal and Rivers Trust waterways and Associated British Ports waterways and thus the end of the eight knot downstream, six knot upstream speed limits.

O CRUSING THE THE RIVER AT SPEED IS MORE EXCITING,GOOD FOR YOU .WHAT ABOUT THE POOR NARROW BOAT ROUND THE NEXT BEND?
ReplyDeleteThere isn't one nor wasn't one!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that if the "poor narrowboat" is going to come and play on the large waterways with no speed limits then it is going to have to expect to meet boats going quickly.
We never plane past slower boats which includes narrowboats we always slow down to pass them.
By the way your comment would hold much more standing if you were brave enough to publish your name. As it stands it is just pure trolling!
