Well ! What load of old cobblers , a rum old do. ? Get a life
So glad you enjoyed it Jeff, where would you advise to get one of those things called a life😂
Dngerious waters them Cambridgeshire ditches 🤣
Such cobblers that they 22.5 thousand subscribers and rising! 😜
Don't get jealous because you chose to spend 70% of your earnings just on rent for your property and these guys were smart and live a virtually rent free life. If you believe getting up for your 9-5 and sleeping in a dwelling is a life then you will be wrongly mistaken, you are showing the traits of somebody whos depressed living their life on repeat.
Get a life, get a narrowboat.
Wow..... the scenery is so gorgeous and your video, a literally Ira marked that the clouds looked computer-generated they were so perfect looking!!! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely Video again Debbie and Mark, the reason to buy a boat is to stay at these gorgeous places you stay, and how lovely you share your experiences with us all to drool over. I also love the banter between you as you chatting, love it when you make each other laugh, it is so natural.
Thanks so much
Lol I was edging the boat under bridge with you ha ha, 'head to the back upright, yep keep going, now round,' and I don't even sail ha ha. Lovely trip, beautiful scenery. Thanks =-)
🤣😂👍
Loved the video! I watched Queen Elizabeth’s funeral
today! It was very moving! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes it was🥹
Thanks, that was lovely !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks guys. Very enjoyable Vlog. I began to expect with all those reeds a Stephen King character to emerge from behind them.
😱
I haven't been on for awhile... just want to say I'm glad you are looking so well... girl you look amazing xx
Thank you so much!!
Haha the way Deborah looked at you when you said shed of fertility 😂😂😂😂
🤣😂.
I still think I was right Shane 😂
Hi Debbie & Mark, lovely to see you both looking well! So glad no one was injured, people just don't think sometimes...roads waterways, I guess they are everywhere! Wonderful video, great drone footage, it's so beautiful and peaceful. That was some turning under the bridge...well done! Good to see Mark out on his paddle board, you're doing great! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖
Thanks Kathy, glad you enjoyed it
The water was so clear! What I thought was a fish was the reflection of the drone! Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thanks ❤️
Beautiful. Thanks for the smiles.
Our pleasure!
No pressure with the two guys on the bridge watching.😊
Loved the birds’ songs and the fish. Oh so peaceful.
it normally when people are watching that things go wrong
Mark, you were spot on with your speed past the moored boats, we have encountered that many times with impatient followers, we always let small faster craft go past as soon as possible so think you did well to bite your tongues when his engine failed, Thats boating for you eh. Apart from that thank you for tasking us through the Fens with you, both have some courage to tackle them narrow drains. Loving your hair Debs, grown so thick, nice style. I need to order some beer you recommended several vlogs back that we know our son will enjoy when he travels home from LA for Christmas. Think it is called Elgoods Cambridge Bitter, just fvound the note I made myself. See you soon XX
Thanks,
the beer was indeed Elgoods Cambridge Bitter 🍺
Beautiful. What a fabulous cruise. Scenery amazing. Water so clear. You both look so well. Great to see you both. Take care. Thank you.
Thanks so much! 😊
Good day, I watch from NZ. Love the vlogs, choices of beer and now the look on Debbies face when passing that tower. Absolutely priceless. Please keep them coming. Phil
Thanks ❤️
I am glad you took the high road in that cruiser incident.
But: as a Dutch expression advises, "Don't let them nick the cheese off your sandwich!"
🤣😂
never heard that one before
Mark and Deb with all the tall vegetation and narrow water you must have felt like the only people on the planet. Thank you for taking me along
The solitude was wonderful
I'm really liking these river travels! Later I'll hunt for it on my Nicholson map! I'm getting my shoulder surgery the beginning of next month so looking forward to lots of vlogs to heal by. Just want to say that it's a good thing I'm not on the waterways because if someone had stopped dead in front of me, my barking would put Bonnie and Alfie to shame. Standard retired steelworker talk, of course! I just love you two and keep the good times floating to us!
Thanks Cyndi, I can imagine your response 🤣😂
You both have new nicknames… Katherine and Humphrey! Reason being, some of those shots reminded me very much of a few of the scenes in the “African Queen”. 😁😁
Can’t wait to see you both again next August! Yes, we will bring more OPA and Top Shelf. 😉
Thanks Dave.
oh by the way you need to check the time difference across the pond, yesterdays message about the queen woke me from my sleep at 11.24 pm 🤣😂
Look at you go on that paddle board! Loved the music, the tranquil scene and a much needed sign from my dad 😇❤
Glad you enjoyed it Lynn ❤️
Hi, this is the first video Iv seen of yous. You make me laugh Nice job. We went to the pub 5 miles from nowhere. it's a lovely spot there. we came over to England to see my cousin.
Welcome aboard Rodney
Great vlog as usual. Embarrassed myself today while in the back of a taxi. We drove past the church of the epiphany and I just cracked out laughing and frightened the poor driver to death. That vlog was hilarious 😆 Love you guys 😘
Im laughing picturing this 😂🤣
@@welldeckdiaries5610 who knew that epiphany was such a funny word?
Lovely vlog..... I must say you two do live dangerously!.
Thanks ❤️
Glad you got the right angle. Allthough it seemed left. 😄 Cheers.
90 degrees is a right angle no matter where in the world it lays 🤔
and this particular right angle was on the port (left) side 👍
@@welldeckdiaries5610 You are right. No doubt left.
Still my favourites, always my favourites, thank you for a brilliant vlog! Best wishes Christine x
Thanks so much ❤️
Lovely vlog. What a beautiful place. Great to see you both looking so well. Looking forward to the upcoming vlogs!
Thanks so much! 😊
Having had a hellish sad day, watching you guys in such glorious countryside was just what I needed. The fish in the reeds were amazing. I have to sat when you first turned onto Wicken Fen I giggled, shades of The African Queen! Thank you so much. x
you're the second person to mention the African queen
A fibre cruiser will NEVER win against a 18-tonner narrowboat 😂😂. Had to laugh at the 'careful watcher' as you turned under the wooden bridge. What was he frightened of?? As always it's lovely to follow your adventures Mark and Debbie and to see you both looking so relaxed. Take care and stay safe. Jill and Guy xxx
Thanks you pair ❤️
Yes he was rather Iresponsible, I agree. But its so good to see you both back and looking so good. Its been a very eventful week for us here in Canada first you got a new prime Minister, then the death of our wonderful Queen. so its congratulations on you new Mrs Thatcher and shared condolences for our jointly wonderful Queen. I went to Windsor Castle to get my Queen's Scout Award in !952 at Windsor Castle. Then in 1953 our Scout Troop built a huge Beacon on Penn Beacon on Dartmoor for the Coronation. We sat around till the embers died down eating Baked Beans and sausages with great hunks of bread to mop up the last of Mr. Heinz beans. then we slept in 2 man tents till next morning. .
As I said good to see you back and posting another fine vlog.
Lots of love from me and Canada. Happy cruising, have a nice Ryte pint and a G and T for Debbie.
Wow, sounds like some great memories from 1953, nothing better than a camp fire
Wicken fen is lovely! As a 66 year young old fart, I've been on that boat a couple of times, don't even remember there was somewhere to turn, looked a beautiful place to moor. Looking forward to days like that again. Take care.
Thanks Jeff
Happy new year 🥳
You both look great, love your hair Deb! Good to see you(se) doing so well, nice video, thanks. 😁😁😎😎👍👍
Thanks so much
Lovely little video thanks Debbie & Mark.
Thanks ❤️
Oh heck fire 🙂 if someone is running over the speed limit, tell them! especially if they are causing problems or might cause problems with other boats (not just you) because of it. Just a nice little "hey, didn't know if you knew, but there is a speed limit here and you're way above/over it ... please slow down." Something like that. Ok, yes, you might get the finger, but still, they need to know. Wicken Fen is gorgeous, so peaceful, thank you for going there and taking us there, and showing so much of the beautiful life there. So pretty. What crops are grown in those fields around you?
Love that area, and I’m subscribed to Ouse Valley Singles Club now…thanks! They’re a hoot!
Glad you like them!
Not called Narrowboats for nothing. Amazing getting down and turning , such a big boat. Only done this in a Kayak so far 😀.
Thanks ❤️
What a beautiful place to paddle board nice and calm. Lovely clear water
so peaceful
Breathe in all around...so narrow...there's a few parts like this on the K and A...always relieved not to meet a widebeam going the other way!
I remember meeting wide beams at narrow points on the K&A
lovely trip there - thank you
Thanks ❤️
What a great way to spend your life loved it guys but I would have been scared to go down there looks proper narrow but you did it well done both love you two xx
It adds to the fun if its difficult
What a beautiful place you moored at!
Absolutely idyllic ❤️
Lovely vlog. The drone footage is awesome. Thank you for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it
Deb your hair looks great! Makes me miss my pixie cut days. Love all the drone footage. What lovely fluffy cloud weather. Hope you're both well.
Thanks so much
Looking fabulous Deb's hun. Not to shabby on the paddle board Mark. Take care and stay safe both of you. Vikki
Thanks Vikki ❤️❤️
Hi Deb and Mark, my heart was in my mouth when you were going under that wooden bridge, that was a really sharp turn but experts that you are it was no problem, what a beautiful little river that was to Wicken Fen, it's lovely there, so quiet the birdsong was gorgeous and the clarity of the water, lovely to see the fish really enjoyed this one, take care both of you 😎😎🖐
its our our list of favourite places for this year
You always seem to find the most beautiful, relaxing scenery. Well done. Thanks for the hard work, we appreciate you!
Thank you very much!
Great manouvering of the Narrowboat :)
Thanks ❤️
Hi Debbie and skipper. I have just had a look at the group you mentioned...the ouse valley singles club...they sound brilliant....when I have more time I will look at more of their videos.
👍 They are so funny
One of your best! Tranquil stuff punctuated with really interesting moments. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Lovely shots of nature Mark in such a beautiful area. In other news I haven't heard the term "biddies" since my childhood when my mum would say, when traveling via public transport to the village we lived near too, that she would have to get the "biddy bus' when Dad was at work lol. Best wishes to you both.
I think its a term I picked up from my parents
The term "old biddies" is still alive and well in North Yorkshire!
Hi to you both,one kill to your boat,but glad all was fine,but it takes you longer to stop as your biggest,, glad you had a great trip, look forward to your next video best wishes to you both
Could have been a lot worse
@@welldeckdiaries5610 yes it definitely could, and you even offered to help,
New subscriber here!
It was funny that you mentioned the
KC-135/R. I was in the United States Air Force when the 135s got the R modifications. I have flown a disgusting amount of miles on KCs and miss it greatly. It sure does help to have crewchief friends and take care of things on the flightline in a pleasant and professional manner.
I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters working the A-10s until they left and the base closed. That was the shortest 22 months and absolutely loved East Anglia. My mom was British so I had a connection and there was little to no surprise in any of the differences between our two countries.
So wave to those jets going over, there's a good lot flying them. It's been well over 25 years so I doubt I would know any now but I know the crowd and they are good people.
Don't be thinking of arming the bow of that canal marauding beastie!
LOL! Be safe and enjoy
Cheers
Terry from South Carolina USA
Welcome aboard Terry.
That really interesting 👍
Ive got a list of the planes that are at RAF Lakenheath and I'm trying to remember them all by sight so I can impress everyone in the marina but my memory is terrible 🤣. The following lanes are at Lakenheath.
F-35A
F-35E
F-15
KC-135R
MC-130J
CV-22
RC-135
OC-135
E-4
REF. old bids, they say once you are in a hole stop digging, I think you called in a JCB, lol
🤣😂
We had a very similar incident on the Coventry canal but in our case there was no collision and the cruiser didn't have any engine problems, he was just making a point. Its a lot scary when that happens
some weird people on boats 🤣😂
Bloody yogurt pots😂😂 did you do any fishing? Wow those bees 🐝 good seeing you guy’s
Fishing 😱
not me
Really nice photography if the landscape and clear water. We’re enjoying your video on the first cool day (about 50F) in Colorado after a long hot summer. It was a nice break from last week’s news.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris
Nice film work. Cheers
Thanks ❤️
A new viewer and happily subscribed. A genuinely heartwarming couple enjoying life out and about. Health and Happiness Debbie & Mark.
Welcome aboard Dobs 👍
When i started watching your video's about 6 months ago i was contemplating buying a narrowboat now i have retired, your video's have convinced me to go for it, i will also be looking for a fun woman like Deb to join me lol, you two are so much fun together, roll on your next vid.
Go for it! and let us know how it all works out
@@welldeckdiaries5610 I will thanks, and i hope i bump into you both and we can have a right nice pint together.
I think you handled that rum old do very nicely indeed!
The shot of the windmill through the tree was pretty cool. :) It was really nice to see the fish too; I never get to see that sort of thing, somehow.
Thanks ❤️

Lookin like an old pro at that paddle board...
Thanks
We're both 72+ and going on the road in our 35E motorhome you young whipper snapper. :)
Have fun you pair ❤️
Whew now that is good steering! I would be taking out the bridge, lol.
😂🤣
Congrats, you've got a kill. You'll have to paint a cruiser on your bow. Glad that the rest of the trip was uneventful.
🤣😂
How many before you become an ace?
Can't stop laughing
Looks like a beautiful way to travel
Thanks ❤️
Yet another great video and another amazing area visited. I am envious of all the water lillies i see in some of the canals. I have just built a garden pond, and over here in New Zealand water lilies are up to $40 each plus freight .We do enjoy your travels and experiences and look forward to each and every new one you share.
Are there native varieties of water lilies over there?
@@welldeckdiaries5610 No i dont think so. We do have a Mexican variety that has adapted to growing here in the wild since the mid 80s
Thanks again for video. I enjoyed it. I'm glad you masterd the hand boat, can't remember what it's called. God bless.
Thanks Becky, its called a Paddleboard
Great Aerial footage from the drone. Lovely canal have a great weekend.☺️☺️
Thank you! You too!
Sometimes Mark, you talk yourself into a corner hard to get out of again and Debbie doesent even kill you for that. You surely are a lucky guy - and an old fart (I'm 70) 🙂
I love your ping pong conversations - you never know where they are gonna end.
Love from Denmark
🤣😂
thanks, the crazy thing is, we have no idea where the conversation is going to go either 😂🤣
🤣
A nice slow cruise
👍
I thought you had retired until this video popped up. For some reason I had been unsubscribed? I'm pleased to see you both looking so well. So do Debbie & Mark :)
nope, still here, just a little bit infrequent with the vids
@@welldeckdiaries5610 And I appreciate those vids but I was talking to the borders :)
That were a good bit of driving getting onto the Wick & Pen
I like a challenge
@@welldeckdiaries5610 I like, no sorry Love your Vlogs.
thats some GREAT Driving right there on the left hand right angle
🤣😂 I was trying to explain to Deb, a right angle is a right angle no matter where its situated🤣
@@welldeckdiaries5610 I got that ... Right angle 90*
I have just watched this wee video. I am both impressed and entertained, a rare combination.
I have just subscribed (and hit the bell, Debbie!) and I am going back to watch EVERY episode in a binge!!!
I may be some time...!!!🤣🤣🤣 Living on board as a permanent cruiser is something I am contemplating seriously, so I hope I get an idea of the fun that can be had on a narrowboat. (Within the bounds of common decency!!!🤣). well, enough chat, ON WITH THE SAGA!!!
Welcome aboard Phil
Wow the water looks like it's spring fed ,gorgeous !
some of the clearest we've seen
Glad you both OK your such great pros,happy to see you both as always love travelling with you both ❤ xxx
❤️
Great vlog, beautiful scenery. We’ll done for not giving the cruiser nut an earful ❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
Terry and Monica Darlington took one of those across the English Channel along with Jim the Whippet.
Fantastic 👍
you guys are looking great
Thanks ❤️
Thanks for taking us along on this lovely summer cruise with Mark on the paddle board, great drone footage and Debbie helming the boat along that very narrow waterway. It's great to see that you are both doing well and 'the pups'. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Glad you enjoyed it Steve
First a cruiser stops suddenly in front of you, then two fellas stand around on a bridge you are doing a tricky turn under. People in the uk are either very brave, or foolhardy. Maybe they have no idea how heavy a narrowboat is. Or they know how skilled you are.
I like to think its the later 😂
Ouse valley singles clubs are brilliant!!
Ive watched all their vids
Lovely Vlog thank you, such a beautiful place to visit 🥰🥰xx
Glad you enjoyed it
Great drone footage...
Thanks 👍
Love you guys!
Thanks ❤️
Mahk is doing good on that paddleboard
Never seen it spelled like that before
@@welldeckdiaries5610 only in Boston and NY thats how they pronounce it
So sorry on the passing of your Queen
❤️
Hi Debbie and Mark. What a strange thing for the cruiser to do. Maybe he thrashed his engine so much in passing you that he did some damage to his engine. Have a great week. Take care. Nick
My thoughts exactly
Hi Mark & Debbie, I just love the tranquil off the beaten track places you venture to.
Deb I hope all your bits are feeling good (you look good) LOL.
Mark how's the paddle boarding going?
God bless & keep you.
🍺🍷 chi chin!
Thanks ❤️
Gosh where have you both been? It was so nice to have a new video to watch. That motor boat showed what a type of driver he is. Sits on someone’s tail then revs past you causing so much wash so I hope he stopped because he had too much water get into engine for showing off. When you went down the very narrow river I was having kittens thinking what do you do if you meet a barge coming on the opposite side? Where you moored after the bridge did you mean you walked from there to the pub? Sorry I got a bit confused as not sure if you had moved then moored next to the pub? Anyway lovely to see you both again take care x
Thanks Sue.
Yes we walked from the bridge to the pub its only a short walk
Good to see you two beautiful place
Thank you 😊
Hi you two lovely people,
Well, when we saw that Tupperware boater overtake you then cut right in front of your boat, we thought "That's a Crash-for-Cash" con if ever we saw one. Didn't think they'd do it to an 18 ton boat though!! Did you notice the colour of the seat of his trousers?!!
Still, all's well that ends well. And great vlog too, rolled along lovely.
All the best,
Keith & Sue
NB Su-Kee
🤣😂
I didn't check his trousers
Such lovely footage of the clear waters! Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks ❤️
Ha! Finally got to hit the "Like" button on one of your videos before the count hit 100! I was number 88! 😁
Awesome! Thank you! 88
That boat is what I call ah Dingleberry.
🤣
Try to have the same kind thoughts you’d have with another narrowboat as when you meet a cruiser.
if another narrow boat was speeding the thoughts would be the same, I don't discriminate 👍
Glad your all okay on the bump and crash, lol. I myself would film everything and edit out what you want to publish. That way it will protect you incase it goes to a civil matter. Otherwise my 2 cents, cheers and stay safe.
I'll have to get a dash cam
Some year back going down the GU on the straight between the road bridges heading for Blisworth a hire NB come pass flat out. Must be late and trying to get back to base. I've 25/30 tons that stops like an oil tank. They suck the water from under me lose steerage and then go across the cut on my bows. All I could was ring down for hard astern. They luck they weren't rolled. They just carried on as if nothing happen. We were told they were still going flat out passing moored boats.
We've had similar on the GU
Brilliant as always...
Thank you so much 😀
