LATER DAYS

101 where serious cruises,

attempted cruises,

adventures,

voyages and

off-grid living

are visited



"Early Days" covered finding the boat in 2011, sorting it in 2012, logging the first year of ownership, organising Off-Grid Canal Living, repairing a boat bought as junk. "Early Days" also chronicled how [and why] we left Rugby to go to London in the Autumn of 2012 and Billy's Story.

2013 was about finding out what the boat could do Off-Grid and what we could get away with travelling solo with a medical diagnosis of chronic fatigue.  In 2013 Pentargon explored the capital's waterways and the Lea and Stort navigations, before embarking on a famously aborted solo winter voyage where the plan was to do an anticlockwise ring using the Grand Union, The Oxford and the Thames.

2014  2015 2016  2017  2018 2019
This is where serious cruises, attempted cruises adventures, voyages and off-grid living are visited.
