Electric Drill Outboard
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2009-10-06 20:15Really slick little motor for a small craft. Instructables has this video showing a couple of guys motoring around in their canoe, including some beautiful scenering including several British looking canal boats.
Toward the end of the video they break down their motor and show how it was assembled. Wish I could do that on a slightly larger scale. read more »
Erie Canal Narrowboat Rentals

A pointer from All About Houseboats (their site is worth checking out - you can get booking info through them or direct, it looks like) led me to the Mid-Lakes Navigation page where you can arrange to rent UK style narrowboats on the Erie canal.
Looks fun!

Another person discovers the joy of narrowboat travel in the English canals. I have GOT to do that sometime.
Canalboats (with snow)
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2010-04-13 22:39Nice little blog showing some canal boats in weather you don't see often. The icebreaker picture is a bit of a funny idea, although I'm sure it wasn't fun at all to the guy out there that day.

Looks to be a nice site if you are into narrowboats and canals!
