    That's not to bad. Wait till you get on the Nene🤭🤭😉 Don't let it put you off. You're both ok with no injuries. Just pride damage. Get back out cruising straight away and put it behind you. Have a great week.

    • @TheNomadicCrobot
      @TheNomadicCrobot  Год назад +1

      haha I saw you had a tone of bridges, plenty of experience to be made there buddy, like you say no real damage....just need ride around with my head down for a bit

  • @christaylor4145
    @christaylor4145 Год назад +9

    All things considered I think the most annoying bit of damage must have been your nice new cratch cover, your paint touching up looks pretty acceptable and certainly looks better than dabs of red oxide , basically the main thing is you are both ok and lived to create more entertaining vlogs, take care both of you.

    • @TheNomadicCrobot
      @TheNomadicCrobot  Год назад +3

      the cratch cover was the heartbreaker, especially at how new it is, but I imagine over time there will be many more, s small set back and like you say the main thing is we didnt get injured, back to the drawing board thanks so much for the support Chris

  • @lilesosannaflower9956
    @lilesosannaflower9956 Год назад +1

    Best bit of DIY you have done Chris, looks great. If you want to go all posh look at car filler for the cratch cover corner. Keep that bit of the bridge as ballast, it might bring you luck and in years to come you will look at it an laugh about that time you were newbies and hit a bridge. Remember experienced boaters have trouble on rivers so neither of you did anything wrong and neither of you were to blame it's just part of boating.

    • @TheNomadicCrobot
      @TheNomadicCrobot  Год назад +2

      I was thinking the exact same thing actually, it probably needs a bit of filler, you've caught us red handed...really we were on the exarch for more ballast , I feel I was fault though there are a few factors at play, hopefully next time ill be able to correct the boat, thanks for your encouragement

    Hi Becca, Chris, Glad to see you both back at home-base safe and sound. It's a shame about the external damage and scratching of the boat, and not forgetting the demise of your port navigational light, but I think you will you need them (port and Starboard lights) when your next on a River. Well done for patching up the outside of your boat and repainting same. Chris you did an amazing paint job. I loved the mock edit, placing Becca in charge of the boat when it hit the bridge. Loved the hint of the dramatic music, and as always your great ear for editing in sound effects was perfect as always. Have a great week both. Take care.

    • @TheNomadicCrobot

    After all it's quit fantastic. You buy a narrowboat. You find that the one and only narrowboat needs a gentle hand a little bit here and there. Finally you are ready for a cruise.
    Then, to not change the idea of your special narrowboating experience, you give it a little bit of scraping. Just for the DIY sake.
    Love thate!

    The damage isn’t anywhere near as bad as I thought, fine for me to say that when I don’t have to fix it or pay for it to be fixed but still you were lucky as hell. The cracth cover not so cheap to fix and something that can’t be ignored as leaks could be a problem and big winds may rip it even more. I’m so sorry this happened to you I honestly am but look at the bright side it could have been much worse and that bit of the bridge you can turn into a wall feature. Good luck guys. Again just absolutely love your vlogs. See you soon. 💕

    Approached the bridge much too fast, I would of come to nearly a stop, then one person at the front of the boat can then gently push against the bridge brickwork to push the boat away as you gradually stir it through the arch.

      Were going to write to the ea and tell them they need to repair the bumper to the bridge as its been missing for what looks like a long long time and stops boats from hitting into it, it's not fair on the boaters damaging there boats, far to many boats are going into it ( 4 including us in a few hours), it also really needs to be sign posted better it was quite unclear until the last minute , boaters pay alot of money for the river licence these things need to be taken care of really especially if they want to protect there grade 1 bridge,thanks Malcolm
