I live with a sailor and his wife. I've been saved the discomfort of sailing on the high seas but boating is now part of my life. That's our boat - Knot a Yot! turning round in a winding hole as a crew member watches from the towpath - then helps the sailor to get it facing in the right direction. We've had a few adventures on this barge since getting it last October. Throttle cable snapped on one trip, battery failed on another when I fell in not once but three times.
