THE ELIZABETH ROSE II IS IN THE CANAL!

Yeatsall Farm - where Helen and David will be staying while 'outfitting' the Elizabeth Rose II.St Stephens Hill Farm - the view across from Yeatsall Farm .

So Here They Are-
The Much Anticipated further updates on Helen and David's Narrowboat Adventures in the wilds of the Midland Canal System (UK).
Backstory - the ER2 Narrowboat is 60 feet long - a few feet longer than of some of the older canal locks, therefore, once she was 'seaworthy', she had to be craned into the Coventry Canal (which could take her length) and then 'sailed' from there to her mooring at Kings Bromley Marina on the Trent & Mersey Canal.

This is the email I received this morning:

Hi Guys,
