As the anniversary of his third year afloat on the canals approaches, author Daniel Mark Brown has taken time to reflect and on his experience of narrowboat life so far. In this short book, Dan takes us back to some of the key points in his never ending boating education.
With a look at some of the perfect, stereotypical, moments of a life afloat, mixed with some of the less perfect events, Dan gives the reader a good overview of almost three years of learning and living.
How much does it cost? How do the seasons of the year change life on a boat? What is the appeal? All these questions and many more are answered within.
Long summer days spent on a beautiful canal would be easy to talk about, luckily Dan also takes time to mention his ongoing engine problems, and how it was his own attitude that needed fixing, as much as the cooling system!
Based on the writings of an earlier book, (The Narrowboat Lad: Living The Dream, NO LONGER AVAILABLE). Dan has put together a book that sums up his life onboard narrowboat Tilly, and his love and gratitude for the what the canal has given him, in a more personal book than ever before.
