Update on Chi-Cheemaun


We have spent some time on our mooring at Otherton Boat Haven doing some much needed painting .We also had to have our cat jack to the vets at 16 years old he was not in good health and it was hard for us to have to have him put to sleep so now we are down to two cats . All being well we will go cruising again at the end of August and will have more news for our blog and pictures of us cruising in the sunshine (fingers crossed) .

Waterways have been again


We arrived and this sign said 7 days and we moored up but the men from waterways came and changed the sign . So does this mean that the 7 days have been lost or have i still got whats left of my 7 days . OR WAS IT ME SEEING THINGS no ime not that drunk yet.

A short days cruising


We have cruised from Polsworth to Fazeley near Tamworth and other than a heavy shower at Glascote locks the weather was good.
This is a view of a working boat moored at the Three Tuns pub where it looks as if the ale was flowing quite well.

Chi-Cheemaun cruise



Hi fellow boaters Chi-Cheemaun has cruised from Hawksbury to Polesworth and down Atherstone locks and it did not rain.I think thats a first for us to have such a good run down the locks.

Tomorrow if its not raining we will continue our trip to Fazeley junction.
