I'm scheduling people to join the boat next week. We'll fare well along a stretch of tree-lined canal that has a few locks to operate.
They'll be relaxing days of enjoying the sights, the waterway, and the wildlife (ducks, coots, moor hens, geese, and swans). Oh, and there will be stimulating intermissions from all that relaxation: winding lock paddles up and down, filling and draining lock chambers, and pushing lock gates open and closed.
