Bobbing BoatI'm below the Macclesfield canal breach on the Trent & Mersey. Between the breach and me are 12 locks plus the stop lock where the Macclesfield joins the Trent & Mersey.A <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/StopLock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopLock</a> was to collect tolls at the <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/junction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#junction</a> of canals of different owners. For example, Gas Street Basin had a stop <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/lock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lock</a> where an act of UK parliament forced a junction. For 20 years, Birmingham Canal Network had refused access to Worcester & Birmingham <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canal</a>, so goods had to switch boats over 65 feet of land!<a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boating</a>

Bobbing BoatThe Macclesfield Canal has broken through its bank. This is called a breech. Or is it spelled breach?It's pants either way.(That's a pun only Brits and Aussies will understand. Breeches are a type of trousers. The expression "it's pants" means "it's unpleasant". A breach is a rupture.)For comparison, last year's Lancaster breach cost £1,600,000 to repair.CRT will update us today: <a href="https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/31160-navigation-and-towpath-closure-between-crowholt-bridge-52-and-locketts-bridge-53-macclesfield-canl" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/31160-navigation-and-towpath-closure-between-crowholt-bridge-52-and-locketts-bridge-53-macclesfield-canl</a><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanalLife</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canal</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/breach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breach</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/maintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maintenance</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#funding</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boating</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#narrowboat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CRT</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a>

Bobbing BoatSpring is here. No more freezing weather, so I can refill the water tank and plumbing, and start the spring cleaning.All winter, I've been filling a 5-litre water dispenser for drinking water. I've been using the toilet block to keep me and the dishes clean. Now I can do all that on board again.The water tank has a stainless steel flange and cap which unscrews. A standard garden hose (or hose pipe) fills the water tank.<a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanalLife</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canal</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boating</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#narrowboat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/potable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#potable</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/drinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drinking</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#water</a>

Bobbing BoatWater holds a natural attraction to humans.A group of children have approached the canal and suddenly they flow toward the edge. Their teacher shouts angrily to call them back.But it's WATER…! Of course these kids want to run up to the edge, to see it, to throw things in (and to make a splash!), to wade down the boat ramp.<a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanalLife</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canal</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/BoatRamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BoatRamp</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boating</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#narrowboat</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#school</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#children</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teacher</a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#water</a>
