Close Encounters at Watford, Summer Daze | Ep 31 Life in a Nutshell
E31 Summer Daze Vlog of Life in a Nutshell narrowboat travels.
After a lovely weekend in London, we left the Welton Hythe Marina and turned left on to the Leicester Arm towards Crick. We bumped into a mystery boat tuber at the base of the Watford Staircase Locks. A lovely catchup and a few cups of tea later and we finally ended up at the top of the flight. After a leisurely jaunt through the Crick Tunnel, we passed the Crick Marina and ended on a quiet rural mooring shared by the sheep and cows.
Another wonderful social day on the English waterways. I wonder who we will bump into tomorrow?
See you tomorrow for more Summer Daze.
