  1. The inland waterways are now famous in Jersey. Thanks to BBC radio presenter Sara Palmer talking about last Fridays Helmsman's course today.
  2. One of our delegates on Friday presents the morning show on BBC Radio Jersey. Listen out next Wed to hear what she thinks of canals.
  3. Back from holiday on the Oxford canal and Thames. The same people who say they don't need helmsman training are using bow thrusters to moor.
  4. Happy Easter everyone. Currently cruising just north of Oxford. Lots of hirers around bringing money onto the system along with nice natures
  5. Congrats to Alan, Jan, Jim, Tim and Graham. All passed their Boatmaster's assessment. Look up Reach Out Plus for a very worthwhile cause.
  6. Good luck to Alan, Tim, Jan, Jim and Graham from Reach Out for their Boatmaster exam tomorrow.
  7. Day 2 of Boatmaster training for five skippers from the Reach Out group today. Two more days to their assessment. Good luck.
  8. Easter coming up. Water levels going down. Not sure we have looked forward to rain quite as much as we do this year. Preserve what we can.
  9. Another Tier 2 Boatmaster pass today. Well done Alec for keeping up our 100% pass rate. Five more candidates in two week's time.
  10. Golden Age Of Canals on again on BBC4 in two minutes. If you haven't seen it then don't miss another chance. Excellent.
  11. We welcome Venetian Marine as a follower. Sister to Whilton Marina we look forward to your tweets.
  12. Well done to Roland, Wim and Jonathan for passing your Boatmaster test today. The MCA don't give the qualification away so you did very well
  13. Just found Britain's Heritage Heroes on BBC iPlayer showing Lancaster Canal volunteers. More please BBC.
  14. Just tried Canal Boat magazine on iPad. Absolutely superb. No need to walk to newsagent in the cold any more.
  15. We had planned boat training this week but will have to postpone due to ice. Good job it was for BW staff as they will understand the prob.
  16. We are looking for another Boatmaster trainer. Know anyone with tier 1 licence and training experience in Midlands. Prefer RYA Instructor.
