At the start of September 2018 I joined Jo and Michael of "Minimal List" as well as London Boat Girl, Lorna, and we went on a rather exciting and interesting voyage up the tidal river Thames from Limehouse lock to Teddington. Narrowboats are not at all designed for any swirly waters so the choppiness of the tidal Thames around Limehouse, London Bridge and the Houses of Parliament makes for an interesting - and wobbly - experience which requires confidence and a steely hand on the tiller, all of which Michael has in spades.
