Is Doug King getting bored?
Waxing philosophic on the nature of Canals.http://dnkcruising.blogspot.com/ What's the over/under on Doug calling it quits and flying home leaving
Kathy and Hank to bring the boat back? LOL!! |

| Is it good form to remark about people who are known to the group but
no longer actively involved- and therefore without opportunity to
reply and/or defend themselves? Personally not sure, which is why my
comment is phrased as a question. |

| A lot depends on what is happening along the way. We'd get impatient
if lock openings were delayed, same with bridge openings but that is
less of an issue on the canals - big problem in FL however. The rest of it depends on the terrain and getting in the right
mindset. Some parts are a lot more interesting than others. We were
talking to people last week who had done the southern half of the
great loop. They found the Tombigbee Waterway down through Tennessee
and Alabama to be boring, mostly due to lack of interesting scenery. |

| This is the boat of preference for the locals when traveling the canals of
the UK.....narrowboats: http://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=66988 http://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=66665 Interesting looking but not my style. ;-) |

| The English canals are so narrow that you don't have much choice. The
boats are literally built to fit the locks. You do get to cruise by
some really quaint olde villages along the way. It's a very laid back
vacation from what I hear, eating and drinking your way through the
English countryside. |

enjoyable. |
