Happy St Patricks Day!

  Wear a four leaf clover

Four-leaf clovers are rare and are therefore considered lucky so wear one with pride today. Legend has it that Saint Patrick used three-leaf clovers to illustrate the concept of the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit).

Try Irish Dancing

May be best doing this one off the boat!  Also top tip - Alcohol will improve your moves.

Catch a leprechaun

If you can catch a leprechaun he is honhoured to tell you where his pot of gold is hidden, but keep an eye on him he is liable to disappear if you look away!

 Bake green cupcakes

Afternoon tea on the canal wouldn’t be complete without some cupcakes, but following the Irish theme make St Patrick Day green ones. Yummy!

  Make a something green with the kids

Create some good luck by making four leaf clover crafts with the kids. You will be able to keep it on-board for good luck all year round.

  Fly the Irish flag

Talking of flags its worth mentioning that you can’t fly the union jack flag on your vessel only the Red Ensign!

  Make an Irish cocktail
