Mrs Ahab hired a narrowboat for my 50th birthday, it was liking living life in slow motion, felt like I should have been celebrating my 80th
Everything goes by too slowly for me and I got told off for speeding because I went passed a few parked up boats faster than a walking pace
The canals are narrow with designated turning about places but if you give it enough gas on a right hand bend, give the boat enough hard lock to the right and are prepared to ram both banks repeatably with both ends of the boat you can do a 20 point turn to do a u-turn
