"Zulu Warrior"
For all those boat owners wondering what the market is like at the moment – it seems pretty buoyant to me.
I had intended to put Zulu on the market in the summer but last Friday I started to write an advert on Apolloduck – one thing led to another and I decided to test [...]
Continue Reading →Well what a sad posting after over 6 months without blogging.
But its true – daddy doesn’t seem to love me any more and he has just put me on Apollo Ducks narrowboat for sale section, filed under cruiser stern and Harborough.
(Actually not true – I still do love Zulu but its become a [...]
Continue Reading →There’s not much happening on the Zulu front at present hence the silence. Since Cavalcade at Little Venice I took Zulu back to her moorings in Uxbridge after work one night, travelling into the moonlight and arriving for a food stop at West Drayton at midnight, starving and freezing cold. I pulled in to the seldom used [...]
Continue Reading →Zulu is not one of the smartest looking boats on the cut, and like many older boats its a long time since a name of any sort was painted on the side.
However when I bought Zulu, the previous owner presented me with ready made sticky backed names for the cabin sides. I had more [...]

Middlewich no more!
Last month I tested the new BW Mooring Auction system for the first time and as a result Zulu will soon have a new mooring at Uxbridge Lock, Grand Union Canal. Even though the Middlewich mooring is much cheaper, the cost of getting there is quite prohibitive, and we have had our fun [...]

But all was well in the engine department – an automatic bilge pump sees that the rain water is removed [...]

Woke up to a lovely morning, although as usual it had been raining through the night. Took Seth for a walk all the way down the Napton flight, hoping to find some fresh bread and milk at the Canal Stores adjoining the Folly pub, but despite the “open [...]

The weather forecast was pretty accurate today. Rain, no rain, rain, sun, rain, no rain etc. And freezing cold at tea time too – that wasn’t so much the forecast as a general observation from the tiller.
Hillmorton locks were all but desserted today, and between showers the [...]
Continue Reading →It was all part of the plan. A few days in Newbury and then back to Zulu, who has been on the 7 day moorings at Hawkesbury Junction for 6 days now.
With two boats we now play the car-boat-boat-car shuffle. No car and one boat is the most simple variation, but we are doing [...]
