Top Ten Reasons to Own a Canal Boat




With apologies to David Letterman:

10. Makes You Feel Special: Anyone can buy a flashy car. Canal boats not so easy to get.

9. Makes You Feel Macho: What man would NOT want to own 14 tons of steel?

8. Extremely Safe: Takes hours to sink (plenty of time to man the life raft).

7. Educational: Many things to fix (electrical system, plumbing, etc. etc.)

6. Lowers Blood Pressure: Travel at 4 MPH the ultimate zen experience.

5. Make New Friends: Goes so slow, every boat on the river passes you.

4. Ideal for Multi-taskers: Brew coffee, update blog, wash dishes--while crusing!

3. Save Money: Canal boats so rare, you are never tempted to upgrade to this year's model.

2. Great for Parties: Goes so slow, guests never fall overboard.

And the number one reason to own a canal boat:

It's very very cute!
