Description

A fascinating talk with a unique & passionate boater.

As Martyn Whitwell sits in his London flat, elsewhere, his beloved narrowboat sits on the cut. He keeps a close eye on it though - several times a day  - via an online monitoring system that he's designed & customised himself.

Like most boaters, his waterways activities slow down in the winter but, once the weather turns in his favour, Martyn covers more boating miles in a week than many manage in a year. 

As well as discussing his remote online monitoring system, we also talk about his narrowboating adventures on tidal waters.
