On the Cut, 2026

[Gary R. Smith]

I stumbled on the whole narrow boating thing as a guy that I went to high school with has several brothers and they spend time in the UK traipsing around the canal network. As a result of that I've watched a couple of YT vids shot while on the waterways. My friend's brother purchased a boat and while it is kept in the UK, I don't know how they keep it. I have no idea if there are narrow boat "marinas" or if you just pay for a spot somewhere or what.

There are quite a number of marinas dotted about (we keep ours in one), though some boats more or less stay on the move from temporary mooring to temporary mooring.
