Field notes
The site describes a 57-foot steel boat with a cast-iron stove, shared by four households on a rota of weekends and one longer summer week. Its visible entries range from working Regent's Canal locks with a crew of two to winter stoppages on the Lee. The boat rules preserve operational reminders, including taking a windlass and a plan before stepping off at a lock.
