    Howdy Joe!! Quick tip on keeping the thermos vat hotter for longer, fill it with boiling water for about 10 minutes while boiling more water to make your brew. That way when you put your tea into it, it will stay hotter for longer!! Big hugs from Kenny in Ohio USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I lived in the countryside all my life before moving to Lincoln for university, cows are cool!!

    Just wanted to let you know that I also yell "Cows!" when I see cows as I'm driving along. The lady I carpool with is getting used to it. Love this vlog.

    Fantastic video, Joe. I love the way your videos are evolving into something more entertaining and enjoyable.
    I live in Northern Ireland and we don't have a canal network as such. So I love to watch videos such as yours to enjoy the scenery. Thank you.

    Cheers from Australia. Love your style,just asking why do you have to close the gate when you come through, why not leave it open so the next boat can just cruise in ? Thanks

    • @Voyage_of_Lydia
      @Voyage_of_Lydia  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks Ainslie! I believe some are the reasons are to do with water management as some canals are not naturally fed like rivers. Regardless of the technical reasons, it's common etiquette among UK boaters to leave lock gates closed once you are through 😁

    Hi Joe. You did make some excellent progress whilst cursing. I see in Ep12 that your beard has been trimmed, and it suits you. Stay safe and keep well.

      Cursing and cruising go hand in hand I suppose! I was in dire need of that trim too1

    Never leave a windlass on a paddle spindle unattended, The pressure on them to drop increases as the lock fills and the lack of any maintenance means the ratchet can let go and that then either breaks your arm or the windlass ends up in the water.

      Hey Joe, a question about your camera/phone setting? Your video seems awfully light, and washed out. Not much color and very monochromatic.

    Is it an optical illusion or has one of your new roof panels inside come adrift?

    Good thing you talked to those fellas what told you about the closed locks. Now, shouldn't the CRT website have said something about them being closed?😊🫢😉

      @Voyage_of_Lydia  8 месяцев назад +1

      I did check the website upon returning from my fuel run, and sure enough the closure was there! A lesson for the future!
