The Travels of Narrow Boat Emily

 
From 28th May 2010 to 28th June 2011 nb Emily was our floating home. This site describes our search for a suitable boat (and hopefully helps others on a similar quest), the trials and tribulations of getting afloat and our perambulations around the English/Welsh canal and river network starting from Wincham Wharf, Northwich, South West of Manchester.
