Amal & Zoro

BOATDATE: 31072019
CANAL: Yes
HEADING: Brum
WEATHER: So so

Zoro and Amal were watching us come up the lock near Smethwick new pumping station. They had come to that section of the canal in memory of their teacher who used to come and meditate along that section. We invited them on board for a ride up to the next bridge and made their day. We looped the loop and came back to moor for the night on the lower canal. The Birmingham canal network has about a hundred mile of canals looping all over the place, some with a surprisingly rural feel to them and some very decidedly industrial. Amal had a turn on the tiller and got the idea pretty quickly. Some do, some don'tZoro.
