- In this vlog, I show how long it takes just to load coal and diesel. I also changed my water filter, which is long over due and a really nice cruise. ☺️

Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Who says oldtimers can't be beautiful; look at you Will at 90 still look amazing!!!😂
😂 🤣 true. 👍
It nice to see all those old cars , i could'nt believe the size of that Ford compared to it's engine lol , you don't realise how much you have to do when you're on a boat , you just take it for granted when you're at home , & when you get up in a morning , & just flick the gas fire on , i think we're spoiled these days , it was nice to see & hear the geese . Pure nature .
I don't take anything for granted now. Water and power i monitor closely..
Thanks for stopping by again Lori.
Hi Will. That's posh, a wooden finished dashboard, even if its plastic. Quite American looking, to go with the blue truck. Massive things. 👍👍. Paul.
It's an early look..😅 🤣
Nothing wrong with golf Will. It only becomes an addiction if it begins to ruin your life but you continue to do it regardless. I studied addictions for a year as part of my psychology degree.
In fact, all that fresh air, exercise and time spent with family is very good for keeping your stress levels down, which also helps to keep your immune system functioning as it should. 👍🏼
I do feel great after playing. Steep hills and heavy breathing in the bushes. I play golf sometimes as well. 😂 🤣
@@NarrowboatWill Heavy breathing in the bushes and a few milky ways. You're living the dream 😂
Well done will it’s not easy giving up the alcohol and the gear I did have a problem ended up in a psychiatric unit but now I’m 20 years clean now and living on the boat was the best thing I did , all the best will
Absolutely the best thing I've done for my well-being.
Enjoy watching your videos, but it was great to see you turn up on TaylorsAboard and you did amazing job between you finishing the job on their boat, good onYou, take my hat off if I had one on.😂
I can borrow you a hat so you can take it off. 😉 😂 🤣
Thanks for watching.
I didnt know Will was an alcoholic 😮 but you are still a fantastic bloke much love 😂😂😂😂
I've been dry for years now. Thanks
Looked l8ke you had fun with the grandchildren will😊 have a great weekend ahead 😀 👍
My grandkids are great. Love um..
Your a brilliant grandad bless you. Take care
I love kids. On toast a bit of butter. Mmmm
Dear will it's not often I have been left speechless .
But watching this video is one of these occasions..?
I can't explain why this is. Maybe it's the fact that you have a family bond the likes of which I have not witnessed for many many years.?
At the start of this video you brought back memories of my grandparents playing with me as a boy all those years ago.
Strange that those memories have have come to mind when I watch this stunning video..
I can't think of anything else to say other than I know under stand why you keep smiling. 👨👨
As always it's a massive thumbs up for sharing your life story with others. 👍👍👍.
I think it's really important to bond with my kids and grandkids. I never had grandparents i think they died in 17 hundreds or something. 😂
I love kids. They keep me young at heart.
Take care of those memories. They're precious Wayne.
Morning Will, you have a lovely family and grandparent duties are special times 😍. That relaxing autumnal cruise was beautiful and that’s the piece of music 🎶 I absolutely love that I mentioned. Have a lovely Sunday day out 😊🤙
I'm sitting eating your cake. Lovely stuff. Thanks.
Have a good day. 👍
My golly the coal has gone up, nearly tripled!😳fun with the grandkids! Have a nice day.
Coal, gas and diesel. Have a good day. 👍
Handbrake light can be related to low brake fluid sensor, check fluid reservoir and sensor👍👍
Will do. Cheers
Life, live it as there's no rehearsals.
Me and the missus gave up work aged 59, bought a caravan, sold the house and drove ourselves to Rhodes Greece and have been living off grid ever since.
No regrets, best thing we ever did.
Now at 68 just bought a narrow boat and returning to the UK to continuously cruise.
Really looking forward to it especially the cooler temps, no more 45 c in the summer.
Maybe we'll see you on the cut 🙂
Sounds like a perfect lifestyle. It's a lot cooler here. I'm freezing right now. 😂 🤣
Hi Will.
Love those old ford pick ups imagine running that today's fuel prices. Scary 😨
2plus hours trip to get filled up gave you something yo do eh out of mischief 😅
Mr Van looking more healthy these days always a job yo do eh.
Onwards in life we can't go backwards enjoy while you can have fun but be good if you can't just be nice...
Kev❤
Cheers Kev. It's been a journey with my van. My starter went or so I thought...
Take care..
Our local sewage works got one of those tractors stuck in one of the farm ponds when the driver fell asleep.lt was retrieved alright.Enjoyed the montage’ accompanied by you composition .Thankfully Spring is coming with the first Snow Drops out😊
So, tractors do get stuck. I bet it's a job getting one free.
American fords and Cadillacs nice looking truck, my Dad had a red one. It's what I learned to work on was his Ford. What a good day you had.
I love those old engines. Slow but reliable and easy to fix.
Football boot laces, sports shop. Good man will, keep trucking old lad
That's a good point. 👍
Ironlace shoelaces, you won’t break or unravel those 👍
Expensive but very long lasting.
Cheers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good one! Where can I find them? I like to buy locally if possible rather than going straight on the net. I shortened mine and sealed the edges with fire. Nice
Grow a pair and get on with it!!🤣like it!!👍👍
😂
Nice 1 Will, have a fine Sunday mate 👍
And you Wales.
In the big game show of Life nobody ends up winning, it's all about how you play the game
That's very true.
Tried your handbrake sensor under your handbrake will? Could be that it sends it back to your sensor unit mate and filthy thumbs up for you all yeah👍👍👍👍💯💯
Will do. Thanks.
Very good, counting the bridges in binary 😅, 1 plus 1, carry the 1, gives 10 which is 2 in binary.
I thought so... 🤔 😅
if you had held the old water filter up to the light you would have seen the muck it had trapped ,inside the filter ,
😊
Is it Zach who's the spit of Leon? 😁 I know you've been stuck on the Lanky for longer than you thought you'd be, but when you're off it eventually, you'll look back on all this time with your kids and grandkids and think... ahh... peace and quiet. 😂 Only kidding... it must be lovely to have been able to spend more time with them all.
I've really enjoyed it here and being near my family. I will find it hard to leave. But I will be back.
I will a very goodvolg theakyou all for now all the best 😊
So nice of you Suzanne. Thank you. ❤️
I know has you feel, 4 years ago the drink got the better of me I was drinking a big bottle of Bacardi a day and started drinking first thing in the morning, fortunately I realised what I was doing so stopped, I was I’ll for a couple of weeks but never touched a drop since but I know if I drink any alcohol at all I’ll be back at square one. Fortunately I’m ok going out just drinking bottle water. I’d love to go out and have a lager but I don’t think I could handle it
Well done, you. I can go to the pub but it must be at lunchtime. The evening is a big no-no.
Just buy some paracord and make your own laces
Good shout. 👍
Do you need to sterilise the water system like you do with caravans?
Occasionally I put tablets in the water tank. I'm constantly on my boat using water. So my tank is pretty clean.
Grandkids I love them but after 2hrs my battery is flat, I’ve got to go lay down! 😅
Agreed. 😂 🤣
Agreed, alcohol makes a monkey of most people. 🥴
😂 🤣
We have a engine check light keeps coming on in the car. ☹️
Make sure all your fluids are topped up and it's serviced regularly. If you've got a dpf, take it for a trunk up the motorway at 3k rpm to get the dpf hot to clear it.
@NarrowboatWill tried all that it's going in again for a new egr valve this time. 🤞
@gilliansmyth7167 good luck
You didn't mention your latest parking ticket.... what the criminal act was... did you appeal?
I needed to have night lights on that road, so I didn't appeal.
I see you got paid with pasties. What rod were you using? If you are using 7018 that's an uphill rod. 6010 downhill with a whip and keyhole burn it in hot for the root pass. Looked good from here though, and it looked like you had a good time there. Can hardly wait for your vid to come out. Are you going to jump it up in line or wait to process the others first. I do like the ones where you are building or fixing something. Start another channel FLIP THAT BOAT or NARROW BOAT RESCUE. But then it would become a job and not fun.
I didn't know Will was a alcoholic, 😮
@@ruxod9002 Yeah so what, so am I. It does not define us, or over ride us. You probably talk with your mouth full, how about that? He knows what his demons are and he is working on them and he is doing a damn good job of it if you just figured it out by a slip of the tongue. I know this should not piss me off but it does.
High i just used standard rods 6010. I'm not a welder, just a bloke with a welder offering to help. I will jump it up next vlog. Thanks.
Will, you’re not buying kindling when it’s like golden nuggets all over the towpath ….btw, the coal, buy the red bags instead, average price £17.50 and it burns longer with less ash.
Sometimes they don't have red. I like new heat. If I could get a pallet load, it would be cheaper.
@ I used to get new heat, for years, I shifted to red winter last and since, used less coal and saved money. Love burning coal.
Will 🙂you’re a brilliant guy😎F#&k the naysayers 🤮Keep on keeping on 😊you know it makes sense 😂😂⭐️👍
I'm keeping on keeping on..Thanks
Hey Will check out this youtube vidio on American canal history I think you will like the history.The Schuylkill Navigation a journey on the historic nineteenth century waterway. filthy thumbs up if you liked it.
Thank you.
