Wonderful to host @ian_h_ohfortunate1 and @rosemarythewitt again on Blue Otter Skipton, this time cruising to the centre of Leeds.
Thanks for lovely feedback, guys, and to hear how we’re just an extension of your living room, a home away from home.

Just visiting on foot today, one day we’ll cruise this far, but for now we’re soaking up the canal culture from the towpath.

A floating WFH office setting was the start of great things for @richardbranson in 1986 and it’s how our @blueotterboats journey began four years ago.

From November this year to end of March next year an extended static stay on a Blue Otter boat could be the start of your next big idea as a #wfh alternative! Or just a change of scenery from your makeshift home office.

Great to visit Crick Boat Show today, pick up a few ideas for boat interior enhancements, visit @canalrivertrust stand and Ben also tried his hand at sign writing.

Lunch offered a few tempting choices, which would you choose?

Lovely to welcome Janey & Mike back on Blue Otter

Lovely to welcome Janey & Mike back on Blue Otter Skipton for a second year…hearing their stories about the people they meet and places they go, it’s fair to say they’re officially hooked on boating now, and we look forward to seeing them return next year too.
