More Dublin and our return home, Sept 16th, 17th & 18th.
I am finishing this blog from home, since we were busy and internet access was slow at the Air BnB. Sept 16th: Peg and I are not city people, we appreciate them but prefer more open, less populated areas. That said we enjoyed a day visiting Dublin proper, using the same bus tour we used…

Today it is up early and get started, we have an appointment at the Falkirk Wheel we don’t want to miss. The day is just wonderful, blue skies and the water is a mirror. This what I love about being on the water, great weather and still waters. Getting hung on the cill is a…

Day 9 – Sept 12th.
Today is an easy travel day, back to Linlithgow. I remembered some fun things I just didn’t get a picture of on the way up, so I kept an eye out for them. We docked in Linlithgow, went on a walk and had dinner at Mason Belles Kitchen. The food was wonderful and the service…

Days 5, 6 & 7 – Lots to catch up on
This is a long post – lots of pictures and few words. I hope you enjoy. A few things you learn on a boat of this size, one it is tight quarters; everyone is on the same (or very close) schedule; and your electrical connections are limited. For one thing Europe is not AC but…

Let’s recap day 2 on the canal
So we started out from our last mooring at Redding round 9ish. Skys were clear and it was crisp but not cold. Winds last night were gale force (at least it sounded like that). Today the winds were light with occassional gusts. The canal is narrow and from here to the mooring in Linlithgow it…

Exploring Edinburgh: A Boater’s Adventure on the Canals
We started on the 3rd in Richmond, flying to Laguardia in NY., where Bruce and Linda picked us up and we went to JFK for our flight to Edinburgh, Scotland. The flights were pretty uneventful (small delays, but nothing problematic). Our flight to Scotland was an evening/night flight, but rest was the best we could…

Good Day
I finished updating the Narrow Boat Photo Gallery with the interior shots and the Montezuma stop after returning the boat. I also added a photo gallery of Pegs pictures of the trip. Hope you enjoy. God bless

Pictures are now up for viewing.
I have completed putting my shots into the photo gallery so please check it out. Peg has some photos I need to get off her IPhone and I hope to do that shortly. Her shots include the interior of the boat so please keep an eye out for those.

Day 9 it comes to an end
We woke early to get the boat home by 9 AM. Sunrise was beautiful, and the water was glass. After returning the boat we went to Montezuma Refuge and did some bird watching (and plant ID of course). I finally got time to process photos so they will be posted very soon. My future posts…
