Almost did one of these small barge trips with another couple but the photos scared me off, as in too slow all around.

From what I understand, they're 99% total boredom, and 1% terror when you come to a lock.
I used to live in a house that backed on to the Shropshire Union Canal. It was very entertaining watching the amateurs pootle past. I also used to get the dreaded psycho swan knock on the back door, demanding bread with menaces.

The famous Waverton swan. He would travel along the canal, and pop out visiting houses along the way.
I was renting a room, and basically looking after the house for this rich guy who spent most of his life on a yacht somewhere in the Mediterranean. Sunday morning, I'm sitting in the kitchen, and there's a knock on the back door, that led out to the canal. I started, looked out of the window, nobody there. Then another knock, then this freaking swan's head suddenly appeared in the window, banging repeatedly on the glass.
They can get quite aggressive.

I loved living in that place. The guy was basically gone for about 8 months of the year.
Here was the street, it cost me about $300 a month to have the run of the house.

It was great for me - I worked about 5 minutes away from there in an old converted farm. It was out in the countryside, with a little village pub.
Some of the newer people were a bit hoity-toity (it was in Cheshire, after all), but the older locals were all great.
When he was selling the house, a couple came around with a young child. The mother looked at the canal and said 'I'm not sure about that with our Jimmy...'. The father said 'Well, he'd only do it the once!'.
