You were very lucky to get a mooring at Overton, in the summer it's virtually impossible, Ferry Meadows gets extremely popular. George was certainly pleased and he was able to get off at The Manor Field (the park at Whittlesey) and at the end. The reason why you go up to the rivers is that they are on the original land level due to their solid base. The drains used to be at the same level but as the fens dried out, due to them being drained, they sunk with the land . The fens are now many feet lower than they were pre drainage. The most dramatic example of this is the aquaduct at Three Holes where the Main drain goes under the river that's way above it. Also on a similar vein there are long sections of fenland roads that run beside the river that's way above your head. A very strange situation.

A pedantic comment on the levels. You normally go down at Salters Lode from the tidal Ouse into Well Creek, then down at Marmont Priory, then up at Ashline and up at Stanground. The ground around March is quite a bit below sea level, which is why it's below the level of the river at Peterborough. The original course of the River Nene (I have a map if you want it) was via Stanground, then south toward Yaxley, through Whittlesea Mere, Ramsey, Benwick, March, Upwell, Outwell, and then to Wisbech. The section between Ashline and Marmont was lowered in the C19th when the main drain (the channel that goes under the acqueduct) was built. All the water is now pumped up from the main drain to the sea now, near Kings Lynn, it can no longer drain by gravity. Also, Dog-in-a-Doublet was built to keep the sea out of Peterborough, not to hold in the river. And finally, the Middle Level is between the North Level (Spalding and over to Boston) and the South level (the Fens to the east of the New Bedford). It's not an up-down sort of Middle!

Hi to both of you and George. I remember when you went and picked George up from the kennels or where ever it was you got him from the people there said he would be the ideal boat dog....is he the ideal boat dog ?....he always looks so miserable when he´s on the boat. Stay well and stay safe.

The mention of iPhone's not having a high zoom (for distant deer and such) reminded me of telescopes with adaptors to mount a phone. If those exist I expect other zoom lenses can be attached too. Actually I've seen some but the lenses didn't seem particularly big by SLR standards. Anyway that sent me on a tangent. It would be cool if you had an iPhone Minimal List app which documented all the features and locks, quirks and all, with it all geotagged and deep linked into KZitem videos. That way anyone could pull out the app and instantly see exactly whats up ahead, what the individual locks involves, how long it will take. Could even have a journey planner which takes A and B and lists the steps to get between the two, like a road journey planner does. Big project so would probably need some automation tools to make it practical to build up the database.

As well as the new style of editing, I'm enjoying these longer distance cruises, as opposed to the shorter ones you did while "discovering" the network. Those were great too, with us followers discovering as well vicariously through you, but it's neat to see what you can do when you're trying to make time and get somewhere.
