This is Steve & Viv Carter's log of the trips and travails on the narrowboat Adagio – liveaboards from October 2015. Then back to the shore, in Trefin, Wales from November 2019. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)” narrowboatadagio@gmail.com cranog5@gmail.com
A few hours chugging thru 8 locks and onto the Plume of Feathers at Barlaston and a birthday luncheon at Neil Morrissey’s place
Taking on water in Stone before the Stone 4 locks – flying Viv’s flag
Viv drove for four locks – lots more confidence now
An arty shot of the ground paddles – winding these up lets water into the lock.
Bridge 99 – one of the many scenic bridges we encounter
Just had to take this photo – it was the false eyes!
