Description
A Narrowboat at Large tells the story of Jo and Jan May's 12-year adventure living on a narrowboat. In 2003, they embarked on a life-changing decision to transform their lives forever, despite friends' skepticism.
Jan had been told she might not live long due to health problems, so they decided to 'get on with things'. The idea of downsizing from their house came after watching a TV programme about a couple living on a narrowboat. With no knowledge of narrowboats or waterways lore, they faced a steep learning curve.
Their journey took them three years, during which they navigated the canals and rivers of the UK. This first volume in Jo's 'At Large' series chronicles their exciting, scary, and marvellous experiences, which ultimately helped save Jan's life.
