. . gently down the stream. Arrrr, matey! The call of the sea chases after us, no matter where, no matter how. Some love the huge boats that pepper the waters in North America. Others long for ships that defy description. Many toy with the idea, but that’s about as far as it gets. But, even if you’re not sea oriented, there are ways of playing the game.
How about playing both hands of cards and doing something really different. Behold the Longboat and the narrowboat, two ships known to all who live in Great Britain. So, what the heck are they? Narrowboats have a long and fascinating history in Great Britain, dating back to the 18th century when they were used to transport goods along canals.
Today, they remain a popular and iconic part of British culture. Also, Britain’s network of canals offers stunning scenery, passing through picturesque countryside, historic towns, and charming villages. Narrowboats offer flexibility in terms of accommodation and activities. You can choose to moor in a marina, a quiet countryside spot, or even a pub garden.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a unique way to explore the British countryside, narrowboats offer a truly unforgettable experience. You can even buy them and live on them permanently. So leave it to a Canadian, Michael Downie, to bring this British standard back into the sun again. Interested?
