Manchester Ship Canal - Narrowboat

It's the idyllic life; cruising the waterways of Britain in a narrow boat, the perfect way to get away from modern life. But even here, computer technology plays its part.
Though he lives in Warrington, Graeme is a narrow boat enthusiast with a boat moored at Bridgewater Motor Club, Runcorn.
He has travelled the canal routes of the nation extensively and uses computer technology to navigate his way around and keep in touch with the world whilst on his travels.

Graeme is happy to take us on a journey on the British waterways to show how he uses computer technology on his narrow boat.

Graeme is also a member of an amateur musical group and likes to play to play big band music for fun.

With his trusty dongle, Graeme can keep in touch with the world via email.
He can also use a website where he can plan his next journey.
He's an avid reader but says that over the years he has taken shelves down from his boat because he is reading more and more books on his computer.
