This blog is about us, Tom and Jan. We have been married for more than 40 years, have 3 children and 5 grandsons. After a decade of travelling from 'down-under' every two years to spend a brief few weeks having a wonderful canal holiday we decided to eliminate the travel and do it full time on retirement. That day has arrived. This blog describes the construction of NB Waiouru [why-ooh-roo] which is NZ Maori for 'the meeting of the waters'. We also hope to describe our subsequent journey on as many of the navagable canals and rivers in England and Wales that we can manage in the early years of our retirement. Please join us for the journey and feel free to ask any "why?" and "how?" questions.
