Nighttime on Still WatersIt's a blustery, moonless night—perfect for some cozy listening. Join us tonight on the Erica as we reminisce about the inconsequential things that bring so much joy and provide such important anchor points to our lives.

Yes, #narrowboats have tillers. That means that anyone with any experience of boats can steer it with ease. Stand at the back. Push the tiller to the right and the stern moves to the right - and you can see it's going to the right. (Just like the trolleys you get at garden centres with fixed wheels at the front and casters at the back)
Compare that with the cruiser you'll hire on the Norfolk Broads. Many of them have a single level cabin, no wheelhouse, no flybridge - there's bridges with 8ft clearance or less to get under. They'll have wheel steering in the saloon in the bows. That's when things get complicated!

Wonderdog 🏳️🌈Going to try a new to me #podcast tonight - The Water Road by Adam Porter. About #narrowboats and #canalboattours apparently. #gongoozler
I'm always trying to capture the theme in the week before, this one is from Friday.

#BlueSkyArtShow has the #Shiny theme this Saturday.
Made it - just!! Managed to record a quick Summer Readings episode. At a time when many of us on the canals are feeling the strain of today’s network, it is good to be reminded of just how far we’ve come — and of the grit and vision of those who fought for the future of our waterways. Tonight we listen to Tom Rolt’s account of his journey up the Stratford (North) and the ‘battle for Bridge Number 1 (Lifford Lane).'
