Chi-Cheemaun

We have cruised from Rugby to Coventry basin but could not find a mooring because the basin was full and it was difficult to turn the boat .

So we have returned to Hawksbury village and moored on the moorings at the village conservation area.

Chi-Cheemaun cruise

We have cruised from Rugby towards Rose Narrowboats after a call into Brinklow Marina for diesel which was 86p per litre.

This is not the best place to be on a windy day and is a very tight turn with a 70 ft boat and the diesel point is one side of the marina and the office the other side which does not work well. The staff need to be fit and active to work here ,from there we cruised towards Hawksbury.

Cruising to Rugby

We have cruised to Rugby and enjoyed a day of sunshine as you can see the willow trees have been cut back making the moorings much nicer its a shame the facilities are closed still but B.W cant do everything and more important they repair bridges 79 and 80 .

The big canoe (Chi-Cheemaun)

Another day cruising the canals this is a view of the canal at Yelvetoft where we will spend the night . Next is Crick and the tunnel which is always wet and then onto Watford Locks and head towards Braunston.
