Battery Problems & Cruising to Alvechurch

 

Hello my friends 😁

After my last Blog I tested my batteries bank. Real life test, unfortunately all my domestic batteries was goner, and my starter battery was on last life as well. 

Was trying getting problems solved in Birmingham Mooring, but NO one could do the job on short notis. 

My great friends Eva & Colin got me in touch with Alvechurch Marina, and they could change my batteries already the next day. 

So About half one the same afternoon I set off for Alvechurch.

A new day starts on VERULAM

 I am back home on my beloved Narrowboat, its 8 months since last time I was so lucky to be here. 

The first few days on board it is loads to sort out, cleaning and even more cleaning. 

Because I soon will head out for my main travel for a couple of months I be needed stock up with food and other heavy stuff when I am close to the shops. 

Have had some such lovely time with my friends too, do not think I could be keeping the boat if they would not had looked after her the last few years. Love and gratitude to you both. 

I have made a Youtube video, About a new day start on Verulam. 

 Youtube making is for me a new hobby, it is also a great way for all my family &  friends to see what I am up to.  And it also making me happy!  You my reader follow my Blog and maybe my Youtube channel.

Have to get back to my prep work for my travels.

4 years since my last proper cruise! Why so long?

 Hi and welcome back to my Blog. 

In a couple of weeks I will  start doing  preparations On Verulam for my extended cruising. 

It is now 4 years since my last proper cruise! Why so long? 

2018 My cruising year ended in Sheffield. Where I had my boat over the winter months. Such lovely memories. 

                                       Victoria Quays ( Formally known as Sheffield canal basin ) 

                                                 Mars / April 2019 I head slowly back south. 

Had a week at Thorne were I did paint jobs on Verulam

Was meeting and cruising with great friends.

Somewhere on the non tidal 

A great 48 hour mooring on river Trent

Cruising session ended in Birmingham by July 2019 because of health reason. 

I struggled with back pain for long time, could hardly walk because of the pain. 

If you are new to my blog, check out the Archive. 

It's a great read and lovely photos to watch.

Winter 2020 we all know what happen. 

I got the dreaded sickness, and had to struggle with long covid the next couple of years + other complication off my back problems. Ended 2020 in a Wheelchair. Used started walk again a Year ago.

Been rely hard physically and mentally getting where I am today, but I am now ready getting back on my travels!

It will be a small indication on my physical form when doing the Smethwick -   Locks of Three 

Only a couple of days later I will be going down Wolverhampton 21( locks ). 

Hopefully I do not need to ask CRT for help. Last resort,  I love doing locks by myself because its great fun & rely good exercise.

I have been busy working on my Youtube channel as well lately, it have become a fun hobby.  

Please follow my Blog & Vlog to keep updated on Verulam`s progression this season. 

Blog Updates regularly.

Youtube update most  Friday's  at 4 pm.

My travels will soon Commence
