Extreme Boating in Torrential Rain. The Day When the Storm Hit.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Boating in a storm is an experience. We didn’t think that the rain is going to be a big issue so we stuck to our cruising plans. We are on the Kennet and Avon canal travelling from Reading to Newbury.
Cruising in torrential rain like this is not for everyone but it felt safe enough, warm enough and it felt like an adventure. After all, a writer and explorer Alfred Wainright used to say- “There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”

Your Howard and Hilda.( older viewers will get that). Btw lightning light is a great idea.
Great to see you coping with the rain...it's part of life..stay positive always..steer clear of all newspapers and media.
Thank you both for sharing your adventures with the world. I currently live in Canada but grew up in Newbury so it's very interesting to watch you cruise around my home town and surrounding area. I'm seriously considering moving back in the not too distant future and becoming part of the narrowboat family. Maybe I'll see you out on the cut one day!
Amazing how you keep smiling through all weather conditions, happy sailing and keep safe you two.
Boy oh boy it is a hard rainy time iff it ware me I would stay by the bank and watch the world go by or make it all a adventure and say come join us .love you two takening us with you stay safe GOD bless Wayne out
Thanks so much for watching Wayne 💜 xx
Awesome video really enjoyed watching this week's video class the coats you had on are just the job 👍
The rain looked fun. I was thinking of the same quote as it is SO true. It always pops into my head before walking or cycling adventures. I think this autumn will be really colourful this year and I’m looking forward to seeing it in your videos. You are beautiful people, so please avoid the toxic Daily Mail and stay good humans. Cheers, Bill. X
I love rain!!!
You have the most gorgeous eyes ever. Im 76 and stiil notice those things.
The thunderbolt is such a good idea…. Especially for Shell!!! Thank you 👌😊🏴☠️💚
Haha no matter how careful we are it’s just happens. After the change of batteries this year we want to be extra careful.
Despite the torrential rain, it was still an excellent relaxing video "for me anyway" Well done Marina & Miles.
Super relaxing watch. 👍🙂
Marina, Myles, another great Vlog. I love the rain, and to see you guys cruising in such bad weather was very impressive. There is always a special feeling in the air when it Rains. It is said that Paris is better when it rains. Great cruise. Loved the matching weatherproofs, you both looked great. Take care.
Oh phooey I missed the live vlog, I was so hoping to join you as you are going to Bath and Bradford on Avon again, my town.😉
Always worth investing in great waterproofs...worth their weight in gold....
☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️… thanks for sharing all sides of boating in a positive way… and taking us along for the ride💜
Music from the Hoof GP. Love it!
Cool music leading upto the close
At this time in my life , I truly look forward to your videos. Where the Locks and Bridges are tiring for you, they are very relaxing to me, watching the water pour in and the soothing music you attach to them. Thank you!
Here in florida its been warmer than normal twoo.
Brilliant video as ever. Thank you so much for posting! :-)
I've just bought the very same waterproof jacket in Red welcome to Butlins
Missed your patreon live as was traveling ourselves! The K@A looks Fab 👌
It is all very slippery in the rain:)
When we were sailing we said: The best thing with heavy rain is, that you don't have to refill your cup that often.
Need to get a Bilbo Bagins shirt now. Hahaha
Thank you for sharing your cruising adventure!
Thank you for watching 💜 xx

stuff that up but get what I mean I hope
fantastic as always.. thank you!! 🙏
Thanks, fab video xxx
Your boat is performing splendidly, a relaxing cruise even in the rain, lovely video.
Stay safe
Glad to see you guys moving again, have you managed to discover the root cause of the engine overheating and those air locks? there must be a cause where air is getting in somewhere assuming that all the air in those skin tanks was removed in the first place. Could well be the head gasket failing and the more that engine gets so hot that you cannot touch it, the more stress is put on the head gasket and metal to metal joints. Just wondering what you have done Marina with the engine or planning to do? Please don't assume that regular bleeding of the skin tanks is the solution, there is a problem lurking in that engine somewhere. Keep safe.
Want to say again. When I see your cruise rpm 2000 plus for only 3 mph you need a higher pitch prop. That will let you go this speed at a lower rev. Save fuel, make less noise. If it was me I would add 2 in of pitch.
Amazing how weedy the canal is so only room for one boat...wonder why it is not cleaned out....
Thank you for another lovely video, i watch every one you make.
Why don't narrow boats have a drivers cab and a steering wheel indoors? You could still have the tiller down the back for sunny days but also have a steering wheel up front with a nice comfy seat. Does not need to be complicated could be done with a length of rope for the simplest of mechanisms or other more complicated ways.
Well done u2 for staying with it more fun in the rain though.
Hi Marina Myles,nice to see you on the cruising side of things loved you new waterproofs especially the neck how the flap went over the collar very nice if you can keep dry in bad weather then it’s not to bad better then the wind ,you going all the way to Bristol,,have I said something wrong as you never answer me anymore,well guys till next time take care keep safe, John 🤷♂️😂👀🙌🌹🌹👩🦳
Hi John. Thanks for the weekly comment it always wonderful and greatly appreciated :) have been supper busy boat wise which is why we have been quiet recently!
Seeing you bail-out your little tender there reminded me of the Ferry at #Wargrave back in the 50's/60's - Where it was moored at 'The St George & Dragon' slipway - It was too shallow to sink, but if we wanted to go over to #Shiplake (Cost - One Penny) we'd have to Bail-Out with these wooden bailers all the way over so that the Ferry-Man could get back again without sinking .... Those were the days :-)
at one time in earths history, it rained every day for 1 million years.
That was one heck of a rainfall. It completely filled my 1000ltrs garden water barrels. I'm wondering, why do you pull the center line to get the boat to the bank? When I was helping out at our local cubs group on a boat made available by a charity, the cubs were not strong enough to pull so I taught them to use the center line as a spring line. Make a couple of turns on the bollard, hold it tight and gently power either forwards or reverse to let the boat swing into the bank. Then ease back so the line could be tightened and secured. It also taught cooperation and working together - true cub style. Hope you have dried out by now.
Thank you for your advice! Our centre line is made for pulling. Will give your technique a go 🙌
@@CruisingAlba I'd be interested to know if the technique works for you. On our boat the roof rails were open and a line was tied on each side.
I think that you'al are lucky that the rain was not snow
Good foul weather gear is worth its weight in gold.
Great vlog guys if just a little wet lol 😂 ☔️ still lovely 😊👍🏼🌱 Chip from 🌱 CHIPS WORLD
Hi been watching you clips, can I ask where your jackets are from please, many thanks
Hi Mark, these are sailing jackets from Gill, we got them as presents from family
Great vid as always but The Daily Mail The Effin Daily Mail ? Come on people you are better than that !
The dislike was for admitting you read the daily fail :)
I think you are both daft as a brush. There are plenty of dry days to cruise instead of getting soaked and maybe a dose as well.
Good I thought id lost you.. Good weather for october. Lucky you. Are you guys married? How old? Doing a bristal job you are.
