Thanks for another great vlog Will. This winter it just doesn't stop raining and the darkness all day is oppressive. I'm like you I need to get out every day even in the rain providing its not too heavy. People think I'm crazy but I can't sit indoors for days on end.
I know what you mean. I need to feel the air in my lungs. I find sitting around difficult. Physically as well because my hip hurts sitting down too long. Thanks for watching.
Evening Bill!!! Thank-you for another entertaining vlog. Did you both manage to make it to the school play? Oh you got caught by the elf on the shelf 😂 The colour is very you!! #MisterPinkToes 😂
Everywhere round here is flooded, had to move my car last night as the car park was starting to flood, only thing I worry about is going over the mooring and then the water going down to quickly and the boat turning over, had it happen once and was really hard to get the boat fully afloat again. Only noticed it was happening as I woke up with a headache, with my head rammed against the bedhead. Managed to dig a hole with the engine and reverse out, had I not woken up hate to think. Loved your feet, very sweet!
Hi Will, loving your work as always, if you go out shopping for gods sake don't wear flip flops or you come back with the wrong type of fella.😅 be safe.
Hi will I see that you are safe and well. What else can I say about your videos other than brilliant. I would like to thank you for the time it takes you to put out your exlent videos on your life on the canals of this country. . My friend Ben and I have just returned from the Oxford canal ... where thankfully he managed to do a deal on his narrow boat... Which has left him with enough money to not worry about the future. Anymore. However like myself he has found it hard to adjust to living in a flat.. but at least he has plenty of people around him now to talk to . I have noticed that the depression he was experiencing has gone.. which is a blessing .when you have life long friend's that you have left behind Do not answer the phone to you then you know that something is definitely wrong with them .. thankfully I managed to get information about him from another boater. About where he was located.on the Oxford canal. Ben is the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back to help someone...in trouble. Anyway will it's a filthy thumbs up from the both of us.👍👍👍👍👍 Keep your self safe . And well . and above all dry and warm .. Happy new year to you and your family.
That's a very inspiring comment. It does change a person when they surround themselves with nature. It's changed me and Leon's outlook on life. Happy new year. 🫵👍👍
That's a very interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. I feel so much happier travelling about over being in a flat in the same place. Take care and happy 2024. 😊
Just think Will, it could have been worse. They could have braided your hair into little pigtails all over your head. Consider yourself lucky. lol I'm glad I have 4 grandsons. Hey, take care. Travel safe and keep warm.
seeing you go through that narrow bit ,.it reminds abit like going through chester , the walls there were verrry high & narrow , roads these days seem to be taking forever to do , i too hate waking upto these dark days , it makes you want to stay in bed . ps , love the pink nails lol .pps , that problem your sister had with the squeak on her car , reminds of that advert with that guys wife & her squeaky earrings 😅
Starting to get the slightest feeling; correct me if I'm wrong, that you've had enough of the rain. Just a feeling. Up until recently, we have just had unbelievable heat, mosquitoes and no rain at all... for weeks and weeks and weeks. I'd KILL to be at home for a couple of weeks of rain and cold. Better get yourself some of those yellow tinted glasses mate, shove some windscreen wipers on 'em. Lovely vlog as usual; thanks and summer is coming; hang in there.
I hear you. Very hot is just as bad as very cold. At least when it's cold I can put another top in. When it's hot you can't do anything without sweating and dehydration. Hang in there, it will get cooler and we shall have some of your heat. 🤣🤣🤣
When you were going through that extreme narrow bit, i was imagining Leon waking up and looking out that window... i would think it would be a bit unnerving!!! Great vlog as always, Will!!! Filthy thumbs up from Tennessee 😊
Amazing how they cut the canals out all those years ago and in amazing time it would take so long today even with modern machines no health and safety then saves so much time !
I can't believe how much work these canals took and how little info on how they did it. Just shovels and horse and cart. Seems impossible in todays standards..
@@NarrowboatWill 100% it's going to take years to clear up the canals after all the storms it would have been sorted out in weeks in them day now it will take loads of meetings costing millions then months getting qoutes then will over run and cost 10 x the orginal amount and its progress ??????
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much. I'll take the dollar. I'm amazed how many people enjoy my vlogs, but they want to change me to suit their needs. I don't understand that. Lovely comment. 😍
For winter cruising, a motorbike heated jacket makes life much more pleasant, 12V supply, needs a couple of amps but you only need it when the engine is on. Gerbing jackets have a temperature controller, ideal.
@@NarrowboatWill at least you get 700 a month I don't get a penny have a full time 24 hour job looking after elderly mother can't claim anything as I sold business if I was an illegal they would be throwing money at me
Wow that put the 'Narrow' in narrow boating. Your drive plate is sounding more suspect. Might be time to quickly pull the gearbox back and inspect? Rather than wait for it to fail? Inspect the input splines on the gearbox too👍 simple job for someone that knows his way around motorbikes. Nice to see you all got some family time.......good for the soul.
Hoping the new year brings prosperity and hopefully less rain if that’s possible. Fair weather and calm waters for both of you, and good internet signal 😂.
Pink is your colour 💗 You have womens feet not very manly 😅😅😅😅😅😅 Rain is good for the ducks apparently, im sure people say yhat knowing they can never drown. The rains are only hoing to get worse flooding of the rivers to come i huess uoull touch on that subject next vidro as it goes into january lol. Bridge 69 did you ever get to it? Have fun stay dry Kev the brinklow kayaker

Great vlog again 👍🏻 if it rains anymore you’ll be able to use your narrow boat on the M6 the way it’s going ☔️🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣 Smart motorway. Faster..
Lovely winter cruise, cats are a bit like humans.. kill everything 😅 safe travels buddy...ps nice toes
🤣🤣🤣 that's true. 💯
Hi Will and Leon ! GG says woof
Evening Bill!!! Thank-you for another entertaining vlog. Did you both manage to make it to the school play?
Oh you got caught by the elf on the shelf 😂 The colour is very you!! #MisterPinkToes 😂
We made it to the play, yes. I should've said. Sorry. I ended up losing my voice. Being around all the school kids and parents, I got man flu. 🤣🤣

That's the one thing on rivers. Especially the ouse when they let water out. Bloody frightening. You were lucky Tim. 😬

It was hilarious. We laughed when I found that toy. She's my eldest daughter. I'm always fixing something when I go up.
Thanks Lori..

Happy birthday 🎉🍺🎂
Thank you Andy..🫵👍👍
Thanks again Will, 👍👍it’s so beautiful to watch your travels. I’m just gutted I can’t get my boat out yet, Thames is in flood 😢
I was talking about people having boats on rivers. Scary right now..😖😣
Our boat is safe because it’s moored on rising pontoon’s in Windsor, the car park has been flooded and the boats are safe, just pricey, but safe 👍👍
@@akilby8022 That's good news. Dry now for a few days. Yey!
Hope you are doing well with the flooding there
I'm not on the river, so I'm fine. Thank you Brian. 👍
Morning Will... was in that Tescos this morning.... Another local dialect lesson for you 😉. Rugeley is pronounced Rudgeley by the locals... 👍
I bet it is.. Local always pronounce things different. Bloody selfish. 🤣
Not sure why it chose Hong Kong dollars, was supposed to be GBP. Don't change your way of banter Will, if people dont like it, sod em. Thanks!
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much. I'll take the dollar.
I'm amazed how many people enjoy my vlogs, but they want to change me to suit their needs.
I don't understand that.
Lovely comment. 😍
Cheers M8 @NarrowboatWill

I find running in between locks gets me warmed up. I'd love a jacket if any body wants to give me one. 🤣🤣
Minted youtubers should have all the gear plus if you put down to the you tube business tax back win win !@NarrowboatWill
@ajw1467 I live on about £700 a month so I think that's classed as the poverty line. I'm basically a tramp. 🤣🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill at least you get 700 a month I don't get a penny have a full time 24 hour job looking after elderly mother can't claim anything as I sold business if I was an illegal they would be throwing money at me

That's good advice. I will get that gearbox off and check. Its been chattering for years and it's getting on my nerves now.

Thank you so much Norman. It didn't rain today and the sun came out. Wow! What a day..I will remember this. The day it didn't rain in my diary.
P.S. happy birthday. Snow! Are you near the flooding. Be safe
Thank you Kat. Meooowww gg. No I'm on a canal. This is why I fear rivers n winter. Why do people stay on them Kat..WHY???
GG is a pug/chihuahua mix and a rescue
@@Kat69nh Cute
Oh my word you sound like me! Can’t sit still for 2 minutes! I get cabin fever!
I'm not sitting now. 🤣🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill 🤣🤣I am. Enforced incarceration!!! 😱
Mad as a hatter …but strangely entertaining !
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you. I think..
Did you work at Barnetts? My grandad loved their winter nips! 😂
No, it was a local firm. Small place. Can't remember the name but it was delicious..🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 some boaters just don't know when to slow down.
Be a tree.....bark a lot then leaf
🤣🤣🤣 fantastic.
