Our narrow-boat maiden trip (August 2017)
Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.
Antonio Machado
in Campos de Castilla, 1912.

First day: From Stourport on Severn to Worcester
En route! Julia was confined inside the time it took us to get confident with manoeuvring.
The Severn, easy to sail and very pretty. This part featured beautiful rock formation.
Elena at the command.
Getting close to a fork: decision time...
Inside.
Worcester in sight! We got there faster than we thought.
We would later come back and moor in front.
Trying to fetch Guille. This attempt would fail and give us a good fright.
Passing by the cathedral.
Back to Worcester bridge to find a mooring point.
We moored nearby the railway bridge.
On the quays.
Julia, our little sailor.
In the cathedral's gardens, with the Severn in background.
The old walls.
The Cathedral.
Back to our boat, with the falling night, for our first night on board.
Second day: In the Worcester canal
Day 3: From the Worcester to the Droitwich canal
Day 4: from the Droitwich canal back to the Severn
