Still smiling even after two days of rain. Great time taking these three lovely ladies for their Helmsmans Course. All passed with flying colours.

Another three very happy and newly qualified crew with their RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman certificates (and a packet of biscuits that Simon awarded himself!).
If awards were given for laughter and fun whilst learning new skills, then this gang would all have gold medals!
Day 1 of our 2-day RYA Helmsman course and student, Martin, is already gliding gracefully through the narrow swing-bridge.
✔ Steering and control, mastered!
✔ Bridges, mastered!
✔ Stunning weather, mastered!!!!!
If you'd like to master these skills and more, have a look at our upcoming courses. Booking stunning weather is an unteachable skill !

Don't know if you call it a bus man's holiday or a boat man's holiday. Having a few weeks off from training and taking my own boat down to Oxford and the Thames. Keep a look out for NB Treacle.

Great couple of days with Steve and Kev taking their Helmsmans. Richard took his a couple of years ago but came back for a refresher. All handled the boat brilliantly, and the sun shone!
