Looking forward to it.

Hello Alan, Just a note to say how much I enjoyed this episode of your vblog. Life affirming is what it is. Our yoghurt pot journey is just beginning. We are purchasing a Viking 26' centre cockpit (in rough condition). So, we will be glued to your channel.

Hi Alan & Steve , I hope you are both well, just watched this vlog as I do all of them, have to say this is one of the best you have done, loved the bit of you going up the Soar with the lovely song playing, (summer love) I need to get the same work done to my boat. Engine service and anti fouling, I am moored at Redhill Marina and would be very interested in the cost where you went, my Engine is a 15hp Suzuki and boat is 20ft so very similar to the Swamp Duck. Please keep the vlogs coming.

Hi Alan Glad to see you on your boat again going to places we like too. Going up the trent and mersey to fradley then on to great haywood. We did Loughborough. Saw radcliffe lock with all the equipment they need. Enjoying your videos. 😊 18.48

Hi, I'm new to your channel. Really like your videos. I'm intrigued at the reference to the Lisbon House? Could you clarify...are you in the UK? Cheers 🍷🍷

Thank you it’s a great finishing touch.

Nice to see the Relcraft logo on show! Lovely job.

A Dandy was my first boat in 1990, I now CC on my 56ft narrowboat

How are you getting on with the Tohatsu? I've have a 20 hp on my fishing boat and have been really pleased with it. Very economic.

I thoroughly enjoyed the train. It was a very enjoyable weekend. I hope you were enjoying yourselves too. Alan

Hi Alan Hope you enjoyed your train journey and the scenery. See you back on board.! 13.10

It was a longish day took about 7 hours that day. Some of the Oxford canal is very remote.

Hi Alan The oxford canal looks lovely, wow all those locks, how long did it take you.? 15.35 Sun.

Hi Alan Your trip on the Derwent looks great. I used to sing in a choir but not as grand as that. We have just come back from the river Soar now the lock is fixed. 😊 18.00

Alan , good video sir, and definitely something I’ll need to think about soon, I like the idea of sending the old as a template and doing some of the work yourself as it will save money and of course give me some diy content for me to show so thanks… Send us some shots of your boat I’d love to put her on the channel at the end dear boy 😎👍

Looks like a great adventure and awesome dog! We are getting ready to start our own adventure with our pups so we love watching other boaters with dogs. Keep posting!!

Hi Alan It looks like Sandy is having a pawsome time! A real boating dog. 19.23 PJ

ENJOYABLE VIDEO, ENOY THE CUT MATE,

Hi Alan It looks like you have been very busy getting your boat ready for the safety check. Looked very nice your trip out. We are at Loughborough near the basin where we had a chat with you. See you soon. 😊 19.30

There's two very special and rather marvellous days in boat ownership. The day you buy it and the day you sell it. Boom, boom!

B.O.A.T. Break Open Another Thousand

Had a few problems uploading this from the boat ! Just reloading atm. Should show in 5 mins fingers crossed.

Enjoy Take That.! Will lookforward to your next video. 17.55.

Your boat looks very smart now inside. Have a good trip next week. 6pm.

Good afternoon.

Your vidios are great really helping me as boat and river newb.

It’s on the canal and river trust search for river levels I save the page to my phone.

Hi Alan , What’s the app or website at the start of the video showing the river colours ?

Hi Alan, been enjoying your vids, hope you dont mind but il be new to boating and would relly appreciate some advice, is there any other way of contacting you other than this comments page ? kind regards Glenn

Enjoying your videos, hope we catch up with you when we out on our boat. 12 00

Absolutely fascinating. Reminds me of the Victorian and Roman engineering feats! Thanks for sharing.

That was a great day out. The weather was amazing, which was great considering all the rain we’d had in recent months. Goes to prove that it doesn’t always rain in Scotland 😊

Great video. Thank you

I have a seamaster 30 and we are converting to live on do you know anyone who lives on cruisers in the uk

😂i helped with the shardlow lock

Hi

Like 3 hours ago

Hi I helped U with the lock

Hi Alan. Love your channel. Could you please tell me the make of your cooking stove? It looks just the sort of thing i'm looking for. Thanks in advance. Duncan.

Good afternoon. 😊

I would love to live in a narrowboat, looking for a unique way of living and always loved boats, as a gardener I do wonder how I will be able to live on a boat and keep the bills paid. I am all up for challenges because you end up learning something new so even learning how to take care of a boat with more responsibilities than a house will keep me "entertained" while I know I will hate some days but love the knowledge that will come. I know roughly where I would go so I could visit family in wales and England so I got that thought about, its a start! lol

Yes , I’ve found that screwing directly into the grp, they do work free very quickly as I’ve found with my navigation lights , and she’s firmly on hard ground in the warehouse 🤷‍♂️. I’ll be on the water one day 🤞 Good video 👍

Happy retirement to you iv just got there myself and looking forward to getting out on my boat moor.im happy for you to come and have a look round my boat. If you want I'm on the river Witham near conningsby Lincolnshire Mick

Very nice

YOOOO

Good morning.

I had a go at remastering this one of my early videos to try and improve it but one day I will revisit with some proper equipment.

Hi from my point of view of the three Sawley is the better option as it is near to my home and has excellent facilities. Aqua vista encourage you to use their marinas around the network by providing 34 free mooring nights which is great for me as I can use Kings Bromley , Newark and Nottingham for free. Shardlow is cheaper but didn’t offer me electricity and the security was very poor as I often found people from the adjacent caravan site wandering amongst the boats. The problem with Sawley and Shardlow are the unpredictability river levels which can scupper your cruising plans sometimes. Hope this helps. Alan.

Hi I’m just at the boat atm I’ll get back to you asap.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a boat and need to find a mooring. I'm looking at Aquavista Sawley and Kings Bromley, also Shardlow. I know you have used all three, Kings Bromley just overnight I think. Which would you recommend and why, thanks?
