This week I visit the Crick Boat Show and try to show everything it has to offer including a few boat tours, as we all love a nosey in a new narrowboat don't we?
Without going into too much detail on here I will list the Boat builders I got chance to see including:
Ovation Boats https://www.ovationboats.co.uk/
Swan Boats https://www.swanboatbuilders.co.uk/
Floating Homes by https://www.waterlodge.co.uk/

I also got chance to socialise in the Aquavista Tillers and Tankards tent, along with the Crick Tavern beer tent before the storm and torrential rain hit. But this didn't spoil our weekend as there were so many wonderful people to meet and trade stalls to visit, including Elite Furnishings who make bespoke furniture for boats.

One of the favourite parts of the show for me besides the camping with wonderful friends was all the wonderful historic Narrowboats - The old working boats and to meet in person with Kate Saffin from https://alarumproductions.org.uk/ performing the tales of women of the waterways.

Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.
