Lost without knowing it-17 May

We have been on the water 2 days now, almost know how to operate the boat----but not sure. No pictures today..but they are comming, we were told there was no wireless internet service, so left the laptop at the boat as we are exploring Llongallen. I am in the public library and will give you a few words. The phone is not working and we don't know why, so if anyone has tried to call--sorry about that, will try and get it fixed when we return to base.
We have had several days of beautiful weather but raining today.
The narrow boat has been quiet an adventure, but I will wait until I post the pictures to tell you much about it. As you can tell from last post the pictures are not necessarly in the proper place to go with the write up, so you will have to work it out. We are all well and doing fine, having a great time and enjoying the Welch countryside. The canal runs through, mostly farm area, and a few cities, at least on this canal. Farms are mostly sheep and dairy, lots of cows and sheep and lots of sinus clearing earthy smells, but beautiful. Experienced our first lock yesterday and trying to fir a 7ft wide boat into a 71/2 ft lock is a real adventure.
We will post pictures first chance.
