We walked a section of the Coventry canal today from Fazeley junction.
There were still a lot of narrowboats on the move and this chap came past us in a cloud of smoke.
He looks quite stern in this shot but he was lovely and we had a little chat and a smile as he cruised past us.

remember those from my sailings in the 1960-ties .
I love the permanent residents on the canal, just like your chap real characters.
