I can’t praise the volunteer skippers enough . They were absolutely fantastic giving their time on what feels like... the one and only wet and windy weekend in the last 6 months !
They were kind , caring and professional and took a lot of stress out of the weekend when I thought we’d struggle with managing Redwatch on our own .
Thank you - you made the trip .read more

I had a wonderful day out with canalability on Thursday 15th of September 2016. A big thank you to Barry are skipper... for the day for making are day out so much fun. The weather was beautiful and sunny and me and all of us from Stevenage Mencap all enjoyed are ice creams at the ice cream shop outside Harlow before we turned back for Harlow. Also I like to thank Barry for his instructions while I was steering the canal along the river Stort after our ice creams. I am so very pleased I kept the canal boat in the middle of the river with his help and I really enjoyed it so very much. I hope Mencap will book another trip with you again very soon. Many Thanks Robert Baker.read more

We went when the weather had turned, but they had heating on board so we weren't cold.
The crew were very good with our... elderly residents and had a good back up plan when the boat broke down.
Well done. We had a good laugh. Well worth another go in the summer months.read more
