We Left the Ocean Behind for a Week on the Canals
In episode 81 of Secondhand Sailors, we are trading our usual sailing routine for a relaxing canal boat journey aboard the Rachel. See how we manage the locks and explore the local waterways.
In this episode of Secondhand Sailors, we take a break from the open ocean to experience life on the inland canals. Navigating the narrowboat Rachel requires a completely different set of skills compared to our typical sailing adventures. We spend the day cruising through the countryside, mastering the mechanics of navigating locks, and taking in the peaceful river views along the way.
Our trip concludes with a well-deserved stop at The Blue Lias, a charming pub perfect for winding down after a day on the water. Whether you enjoy canal boating or are simply curious about how we handle life on a narrowboat, this journey offers a unique look at a slower pace of travel.
