About the Author

Emrhys Barrell has spent a lifetime afloat, for pleasure and for work. He has managed boatyards, designed boats, and edited boating magazines, covering craft from the smallest dinghies to the most exotic luxury yachts. But his greatest passion is for the inland waterways of Great Britain and Europe. From his home alongside the Thames at Goring he looks out over what is possibly the UK's most famous boating river. The family's 48ft narrowboat allows them to travel all the waterways of the connected British system. Emrhys Barrell is currently the Editor of Canal Boat & Inland Waterways.
