Hello 👋 we have just discovered your vlogs and enjoying catching up with them, find them so interesting and relaxing, we're heading onto water ourselves in a couple of months after years of hiring. Keep up the good work! xx
Hello 😃 Thank you for commenting and watching our vlogs 😊 You won't regret buying your own boat (having a survey is recommended as you probably know 😊) unless you are lucky enough to buy new. Good luck with it XX
Hi, thanks for the vlog, well done Karl for remembering the exact morning spot in the pic. I like seeing the moored boats especially any thing traditional, plus the little bit of the baby woodpecker at the end.
Hiya. I've heard the canal is closed from Derwent mouth lock through Shardlow. The lock gates at Stenson don't leak now, causing shortages further down... typical!! The North Oxford canal is ok... at the moment! Hopefully it rains... but not too much 😅 we will be coming back up the river in August. I hope you are both well 😊 x
Hi there. Enjoyed your vlog. Never seen a woodpecker so close, so beautiful. I note Emeralds crotch cover is the aluminium type and that all three sides seem to roll up like tent doors. Would you recommend this type of crutch cover over the more trad heavy wooden types. And if you would recommend your type please would you let me know the make / suppler..many thanks Gary
Hi Thank you for taking time to comment. We like the aluminium framed cratch. We take it off quite often ( when there is a dry spell.) It folds and can be stored behind the sofa. I personally like to look at the water from the bow, not through a glass cratch, so is perfect for us... plus you can access the gas locker without climbing onto the front. 😊
I can find out. It was already fitted to the boat when we brought her. We do have the receipt though. Will look next weekend. A lot of companies that make boat canopies do them. I quite like the Antrim ones too 😊
@@narrowboatemerald3558 that’s great. I’d really appreciate knowing who did yours. There are so many versions and nothing bets the recommendation of a happy customer
@garylewis9803 Hi there, sorry for the delay. As promised we found the receipt. The front cratch canopy was from Staffordshire canopies. Was put on in 2015

Thank you. It brought back memories of our young children and little cruiser that we had so much fun with. I had never seen a woodpecker before.
Hi Guys.
Hi 🙂
Hello Feom Grenada 🇬🇩
Hello from Emerald. And Thank you 😃
Hello to you both. How are the water levels? Apparently, it's been bad around Stenson. Looks like you picked a good time to get away!
