Location: UK | I call arriving a 10 a go get eager beaver, you can find excuses every day for arriving at ten , the dog ran off , the child fell in the canal , the boat sank , lost my way , thought it was sunday etc etc etc Real skiving is arriving and then disapearing or not arriving at all |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | A few years ago I walked the entire length of the Thames River Path and must have seen hundreds of these canal boats. I would like to have toured a few to see how they can configure living quarters in something so narrow. They looked much more narrow than a motorhome. Many have smelly diesel engines and they don't do well pulling skiers. I'll bet Jesse James could fix that. |
