October is here and the evenings drawing in.
The autumn colours are starting to emerge.
During October and early November we start to notice our engines starting to work harder and the boat speed decreasing.
This is often due to leaves being sucked up to the propeller, if this happens just pop the controller into neutral and they should fall to the bottom of the canal.
If that fails to help then a bit of reverse thrust can clear the propeller.
Patience is needed during autumn cruising.
Enjoy the marvellous colours

Sales continue to be very active
It is with great pleasure that we welcome new owners from abroad and at home.
The late burst of warmth after a cool and wet July has seen many new ducklings.
As we slide into September we look forward to the wonderful changes in colour that autumn brings.

I have been pleased to welcome so many new couples to Ownashare in July.
Share sales are at record levels and I look forward to helping many more boating folk to find their special boat share.
The cooler and wetter than usual July has been a blessing to the canals and the water levels.

July has arrived and at last a little respite from the heat of June.
The canals are full of colour with the butterflies, wildflowers and young ducklings, cygnets and goslings.
Even if you are unable to go boating a walk along the towpath will bring joy at this time of the summer.
Boat sales are still busy and there are still bargains to be snapped up with weeks available this summer.

With the warmer weather and the wonderful greening of the landscapes, cruising is at is prettiest.
