Here you are, two boats, one a canal cruiser, and the other one a house boat, for longer sojourns, away from home. This was taken down on the Leeds Liverpool canal in Blackburn. Taken from the tow path, before steam and diesel engines, they used to use, horses to tow the barges along the canal.

A really clear day!  Love the reflections in the water.

We have the cabin cruisers here, some much bigger than that one.  That Canal boat, looks slower and as such more restful, unless you are in a hurry.

Have you ever had a vacation on a canal boat?

I've ridden in one, Judy and it's amazing.  Wonderful to do this.  Something missing over here.  England has canals everywhere and you can go on a vacation just on a boat in the canals system.

Wow That would be great!  You coming with John and I???  Lord willing We are going in 2013!

In the US, the 3,000 mile-long Intercoastal Waterway runs from New Jersey down to Brownsville, Texas.   Wanders around a lot, though.   That would be a hoot to do the entire trip sometime.    I think maybe, after I retire...

Especially if you had one of those canal boats!

The Erie Canal is navigable during the summer and there are many pleasure boaters who take it across New York State.
