This book is all about learning to become a competent narrowboat captain. The book is part adventure story and part training manual. It's essentially 'learn by example' via a collection of twenty narrowboat journeys that took place over the period 2005 to 2020 when Covid forced their end. The book is not a travelogue. All the locations mentioned have excellent descriptions and images online and elsewhere. No, it's a piece about family and friends and their adventures on hired narrowboats. It's about the pleasures of spending a week or two aboard these quaint craft. It's about recovering from mistakes and learning from those experiences. And finally, it's about living in the moment in a parallel universe as glorious British countryside drifts by at less than four miles per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Generation Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45539460481175,"sku":"9781835635032","price":1708.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781835635032.webp?v=1768591633","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/narrowboat-insights-9781835635032","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
