Boater A Life on England's Waterways by Jo Bell

 

For over twenty-years, Jo Bell, archaeologist and poet, has travelled the waterways of England (and sometimes Wales) meeting extraordinary people in an extraordinary environment.

 

In Boater she describes an alternative nation within a nation, a place of different maps and deep history, and home to people who live and work in a world quite separate from the land a few feet away on the banks.

 

Always at home, always on the move, Jo's peaceful life is interrupted when a turbulent relationship takes her on a year-long odyssey through tranquil waters and onto the treacherous Bristol Channel. Join her as she navigates shallow waters and deep trouble, and welcomes readers on a remarkable voyage through time and place.
