When I went on holiday to Germany, the exact same thing happened to me, a German man went swimming to rescue the deer, when they got to dry land the deer was exhausted and could hardly stand, "Well done!!" I said to the German, in his broken English he said "Sankyou", he was also checking the exhausted deer like the RSPCA, I noticed this and said "Are you a vet?..." He then got very angry and started shouting... "VET? .... VET?.....I AM COMPLETELY SOAKING...." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad to see you back up and running on your boat....with a extra crew member helping you along....well done on rescuing Jack......love you new RUclips name.....stay safe....thanks for sharing
Hilarious mugs! So glad that Snapdragon is running so much better with the new skin tank! You are kind to let Mike try out narrowboating under your guidance.
Hope Mike gained some Brownie points for all his work! You changed the channel name just in time - lots of adventures it seems! What's next - catching cattle rustlers? Great to see your smile and enthusiasm again!
Lorna, I'm so glad you finally have your boat sorted and are again enjoying the canals. The deer rescue was interesting but what I find interesting is that Shawn from Foxes Afloat recently rescued a deer also. Also, me being from Texas, the length of your trip brought a tidbit of history to mind. There's an old saying among people that crossed Texas by horse or wagon that goes, "The sun has ris' and the sun has set, and here we are in Texas yet." For you it would be, "The sun has risen and the sun has set, and here we are in London yet". Great show/vlog and I'm enjoying the narrowboat life vicariously through you!
Mike Weston I love when visitors and people abroad ask how many miles away something is because the London mile is completely different. You can get often to the middle of the country faster than to the other side of London
Hi Lorna ,nice to see you involved in a Dear rescue so pleased to see the little chap out of the water ,interesting video some lovely houses on the way back nice price to I bet ,if you have to keep topping up with engine water you must have something wrong your engine water will find a safe working level,,I bet it was nice having a crew man on the way back so nice of you to let him take the tiller hope he enjoyed his trip I did thank you so much ,take care keep safe,John 🥀🌺🌸💥🌝🌜🌈🔥
Lorna Jane Adventures yes I agree people do not relies what is involved in living on aa Narrowboate good for helping him and showing him the ropes, tell me are we going to see on your boat on are you going to spend more time in your camper van ?
I wonder how many deer get themselves caught in the canals every year. This is the second video I've watched of you boaters taking your time to save the life of a poor animal that's stuck trying to swim around and get out. The first one I saw was Fox's A Float, saving a deer caught in a lock, I think it's wonderful of all of you guys for taking your time and putting yourself at risk for the wildlife keep up the great videos love them hope your friend gets a boat and enjoys it!
definitely Adventures now with deer rescue on the agenda. And you did great with Mike - nothing like showing someone else the ropes to hone your own skills - and find out you're better than you thought at it! Looking forward to part 2
Thanks, good to see you brighter and well done with the deer. Interesting to see that stretch of the canal, in my school days used to cycle to the canal at Horsenden Hill to go fishing and have played golf at the golf course, Sudbury golf Club and nice to see it from the water.
Well done Ms. Lorna! Fingers crossed your boat seems to be running well enough! It would be great if that was one thing you didn't have to worry about when you're out on the cut! It was great to see you introduce your friend to Narrowboating! Did you see Foxes Afloats deer rescue? Shaun lifted a deer out of the lock with one hand!! Love the new Channel name!
Hi. Have just subscribed and really enjoying your videos. I fully empathise with your "incident" at Bulls Bridge, not an easy turn but I could use similar words to describe my incident back in 1970s. I was at the helm of a vintage 72ft ex British Waterways narrow boat. I had probably had a couple too many lunch time pints in a pub in Uxbridge. I was a fairly competent helmsman but like you I approached Bulls Bridge a bit too fast and the bow just did not come around in time and I certainly removed a few of the chips of concrete missing out of that wall. I only had myself to blame and the other 11 or so on board voted me off the helm for the rest of the weekend. I have been trying to remember where we tied up that night but it is too long ago now. It may have been Paddington. You could moor just about anywhere that did not restrict the canal in those days. It was not easy with a Big Woolwich boat though. Anyway thoroughly enjoying the vlogs so do please keep them coming - helps to keep us oldies sane just now as we await the jab. Keep safe!
Hmm, a decent thing to do but a bit dumb tho'. Goodness only knows what's on the bottom what with broken glass, rusty metal etc, etc. Plus the shite in the water. Hope the bloke showered as soon as and went to A&E for whatever shots they felt necessary. Even the slightest scratch wants watching. If the deer had a cut then hopefully it fights off any infection???
At least it’s not a whole doona. The narrowboat pirate once got one trapped around her prop, and I think she spent the next 2 to 3 hours trying to dislodge it with assistance from crew.
It's good to see the boat is running better for you, long may that continue. I've a feeling that the weed is particularly bad in some areas right now due to the prolonged period of general inactivity. Canals pretty much need traffic to help keep them clear.
Apart from weeds collecting on prop do we presume the re-engineered cooling system coped? Did the yard flush out the block when refilling the system? As in using some sort of product? I wondered if years of gungy crud had accumulated in the block galleries as well as in the bottom plate skin tank. Have to say that was an eye opener seeing how much rubbish and weeds there was. Just a thought, are the prop blade edges a bit battered? I was wondering if sharper edges would have chopped up the weed.
Looking at the deer rescue & thinking that you _did_ advertise that this channel is about adventures. :) So glad y'all rescued it & and wish it good healing for that cut it had gotten.
A canal-side house sounds appealing, and perhaps near a lock, in part because my health would prevent me from actively narrowboating, so at least their presence and passage could be enjoyed. But Social Security Disability income probably won't finance moving to another continent and purchasing such a house. But, hey, there is this RUclips channel to enjoy!
Sharing what you have learned with friends is a great idea, to often we don't have this opportunity, hopefully Mike enjoyed his time on your boat , cheers to you both enjoyed the visit God bless from Tennessee 🙏😇
Well done Guys! I rescue spiders, wood lice &c daily but it's a while since I rescued a mammal. I feel any wriggling body has as much right to their life as I have to mine. Ah, weed hatches again, interesting things! Another great video which must have taken a lot of work to film and edit. We don't take it for granted Lorna, thank you
I’m sure you enjoyed having company and he seemed to handle himself well. Such a shame you passed so many sunken boats. Love your new channel name I think it is more you. We had a problem with weed and plastic bags when we were in London a couple of years ago.
When the engine note changes due to weed, plastic etc caught round the prop, sometimes you can clear it by going into reverse and 'throwing' the debris off the prop. It doesn't always work of course but it can save time and an unpleasant job.
Good on you for saving the baby deer. Very cool. So are the canals more weedy because fewer boats have been plying them because of the lockdowns? I'm catching up on your vlogs so I haven't seen that much of the canals you frequent. I'm used to David/Cruising the Cuts' blogs and his canals. Keep up the cool content and cheers from America.
You seem a different person, so glad to see the Joy in your eyes, was a bit worried about y'all, even tho a pond away, and we've never met. Ive feel closer to the YT Narrowboaters than some of my family, which didnt need Covid to be distant up close or by miles. We were DEVESTATED about Dylan. {No Dog is an island. Every pooch that crosses the Rainbow Bridge diminishes me}.
When think the new name is better than the last. More of a statement. Always wondered about the various depths on the canals. They seem to be in need of a dredging and cleaning.
CRT funds allow a dredging budget of only so many miles in a year. Dredging takes place in different places in a year as decided by their engineering lads. I would suggest a lot of silt will have accumulated throughout the network because of lack of traffic keeping the silt stirred up and in suspension in the water column, so to speak. As the silt clears it allows sunlight to penetrate deeper into the water which results in an increase of water plants ... which in turn impedes navigation and clogs up props. Suspect too the greenery clogs up water intakes for raw water cooling systems. ("Raw water" cooling systems just means water is drawn or pumped in through the engine block and is returned to the canal, sometimes via the exhaust port. Don't see so many cooling systems arranged thus these days. And don't see or hear many air cooled engines either, as a tad noisy and "purist" for some who like the peace and quiet.) Anyway, not cruising a canal is a "bad thing" and this lockdown, although necessary, hasn't done us any favours ref navigation. I gather, from other vloggers, silt has accumulated between lock gates and lock walls which prevented gates opening wide enough to pass between.
Great to see you making good progress, despite deer, rubbish and weeds. Unfortunately, if you travel for 4+ hours, you're lucky in the summer not to collect some weed around the prop.
I get chatting to a couple of people who live on a canal boat and the next thing I know I'm constantly watching narrowboat vlogs. I think I'm trying to tell myself something. Really should hire one for a spell to get a taste of it.
@@lornajaneadventures Interestingly, the Irish inland waters are managed by Waterways Ireland, which is a cross-border body headquartered in Enniskillen, in Northern Ireland, under the ageis of the Belfast Agreement.
Interesting coincidence, it was merely pure coincidence, wasn't it, of the painted boat showing on screen when comment was made about how being recognized is "very strange". ;)
Get yourself a proper long shaft at least 16 ft long and cabin shaft about 10 ft. The engine sound like what it should do for a BMC taxi engine. Your old skin tank because it horizontal and at the lowest point of the system was probably full of sludge and crud
poor thing. is this something that happens often? animals falling in? i have often wondered since there isnt any fencing. what have you done with lorna? and who is this young lady? wonderful to see you so positive again. doubt i was the only one beginning to worry
A few dead sheep found in the rural sections of the canals is far worse that a drowned cat, filmed or not. Usually, as the sheep rots, methane builds up and the sheep float higher in the water. We generally try to avoid contact with the corpses in case the skin is punctured. The danger being that you might get sprayed with stinking corporeal matter. It must be said that despite it being a bit sad it is quite spectacular seeing a volcano of rotting meat issuing from a carcase. Plus there is an explosion hazard. I once saw a boater ill advisedly try to move a bloated corpse with his boat hook. The hook penetrated the skin and a jet of methane gas propelled the corpse across the waterway into a glass fibre cruiser. A mere quarter inch of fibre glass is no match for a hundred weight of bloated sheep carcase travelling at perhaps 40 knots. The sheep passed right through the cruiser's hull, luckily the crew had not long disembarked, and dented the steel pilings. The sheep must had a metal hip joint or identity bracelet because I saw a spark and the ensuing fireball took out about 30 ft of piling and blew the by now sinking cruiser back across the canal into a boat opposite. Then the gas bottles on the cruiser blew up and punctured the bed of the canal. That wouldn't have been too bad but unfortunately the boat which was hit by the cruiser was a fuel boat and the concussion caused that to explore too.

Following your channel, i am aware of your motor problems--my question, they make long shaft small electric /gas motors for fishing boats--my question, could you mount a mounting plate for such an engine on a narrow to be used when the main power plant goes down? This would at least get you to a safe morning. Be safe and keep up the boating. P
oh deer, what can the matter be, thats the second one in the last 3 months. not bad m8, i can see a bit of sheldon cooper [big bang theory] in you. you passed some real nice boats m8, kinda made me wish i was there, rather than being in lockdown downunda. stay safe an well eh!

It's good to see the canals in London for a change instead of rural boating. It's good to see it even though I would'nt want to live there.

Get yourself a proper long shaft at least 16 ft long and cabin shaft about 10 ft. The engine sound like what it should do for a BMC taxi engine. Your old skin tank because it horizontal and at the lowest point of the system was probably full of sludge and crud

charles curtius you do see a few dead animals. I saw a cat on the way to Uxbridge but obviously deleted the video
A few dead sheep found in the rural sections of the canals is far worse that a drowned cat, filmed or not.
Usually, as the sheep rots, methane builds up and the sheep float higher in the water.
We generally try to avoid contact with the corpses in case the skin is punctured. The danger being that you might get sprayed with stinking corporeal matter. It must be said that despite it being a bit sad it is quite spectacular seeing a volcano of rotting meat issuing from a carcase.
Plus there is an explosion hazard. I once saw a boater ill advisedly try to move a bloated corpse with his boat hook. The hook penetrated the skin and a jet of methane gas propelled the corpse across the waterway into a glass fibre cruiser. A mere quarter inch of fibre glass is no match for a hundred weight of bloated sheep carcase travelling at perhaps 40 knots.
The sheep passed right through the cruiser's hull, luckily the crew had not long disembarked, and dented the steel pilings. The sheep must had a metal hip joint or identity bracelet because I saw a spark and the ensuing fireball took out about 30 ft of piling and blew the by now sinking cruiser back across the canal into a boat opposite.
Then the gas bottles on the cruiser blew up and punctured the bed of the canal.
That wouldn't have been too bad but unfortunately the boat which was hit by the cruiser was a fuel boat and the concussion caused that to explore too. Even that wouldn't have been too bad either but the fuel boat was moored up next to a fireworks factory.
I was deaf for a week and also needed a full body transplant.
When I recovered about a week later I found a marina had been built using the crater from the explosion.
The moral from the story is that farmers should be teaching their sheep to swim to a nearby slip and simply walk out of the canal.
I blame the kebab industry for that one.
