Bobbing Boat<p>Boating today was very slow going, but lovely and sunny.</p><p>With the canal water so low – some say it's down a half foot or more – there's so little water under the boat, the drag is substantial.</p><p>On the way there was a cute boathouse, with a brick arch that echoes the arch of traditional canal bridges and aqueducts. Not sure why they need gunholes, though. 😅</p><p><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanalLife</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arch</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/RomanArch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RomanArch</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/brick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brick</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/stone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stone</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narrowboat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/LowWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowWater</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/WaterLevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterLevel</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/leak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leak</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/breach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>breach</span></a></p>
Bobbing Boat<p>The canal's water level has dropped further, but I hear via towpath gossip that the breach has been dammed.</p><p>I still see water slowly flowing in that direction. It's not just duckweed blowing that way in the wind. Deeper particles show all the water is flowing.</p><p>Judging from the vegetation, the water is just over 6 in. or 16 cm below usual. (See the photo's ALT description for details.)</p><p><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanalLife</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/WaterLevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterLevel</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narrowboating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/mooring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mooring</span></a></p>
Bobbing Boat<p>The water level in the canal dropped a bit overnight. I realised this when I noticed the boat was listing away from the bank, and only rocking along one axis instead of the usual three.</p><p>Closest to the bank, the bottom of the boat was touching ground, underwater.</p><p>My neighbour helped me refloat, pushing out the boat while I leaned and swung on the far gunnel to make the boat lift clear of the underwater ground.</p><p><a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/CanalLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanalLife</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/WaterLevel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterLevel</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/grounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grounding</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/float" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>float</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/floating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>floating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boat</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/boating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boating</span></a> <a href="https://poweredbygay.social/tags/narrowboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>narrowboat</span></a></p>
