I do I get a job with narrow boats.
We made a Llangollen canal boat trip years ago, took two weeks of just going slow. Walks on the canal paths, visiting other boaters, historic sites. Of all our travels it was the most relaxing ever. My wife settled in, we would stop at small villages for supplies, classic pubs for a brew. Always wanted to go back but never made it, but we have found memories. Thanks for your videos. BC Canada
It sounds perfect!
That was the most genuine ad read I think I’ve ever seen from a youtuber. Bravo 👏
Oh bless you, thank you. I was rather anxious about it but meant every word.
@@CruisingTheCut You’re welcome, and there’s no shame in advertising. That’s the name of the game on here. If advertising someone’s product you believe in helps the channel and helps you then I’m fairly sure you have most everyone’s support.
@@Halfstep2024I can also vouch for the Readly product. It’s a great way of reading magazines, especially the ones you might not otherwise purchase. You are also able to share your subscription with four other people.
@@CruisingTheCutWe could easily tell how passionate you were about the product, you did an absolutely great job. Sponsor spots can be rather enjoyable when the creator genuinely likes the product, it feels less like mere corpo approved talking points and more like a friend telling you about this wonderful thing he found. :)
If you do more sponsor spots like that then I'm sure nobody will have a problem with it and you can rest easy knowing that you haven't alienated your fans, if somebody somehow does have a problem then he or she can just skip it.
David, can you download a magazine issue for offline reading with that app?
Thank you for the kind words about Scarlet Lady 💃💃
Connor has always done a great job in helping me out when ive had to dash off for work.
Ps also love Readly!
Lovely video today David 😊, Seems like Connor really does know how lucky he is to have such a great job. No desks, and plenty of beautiful sights and sounds. 😁
You may not own a boat but you seem to have no problem finding good content for the channel very entertaining thank you
Thank you!
A delightful video and bravo to that young man for spotting that business opportunity 👏
Thanks ❤
What an enterprising young man to come up with the idea of moving other peoples boats. Thanks for telling us all about it.
That was great David. I think this way of what you are doing things these days was the best decision. Your content has been wonderful. Thanks.
Thank you!
One of those things you probably never think about-moving boats. Connor is a professional, and someone who I feel I'd trust with a boat (if I had one)
That was my feeling about him too!
Awww thanks guys I do as they say go above and beyond 😊best way
I met him last year at Hatton Locks - top man!
A wholly pleasant young man, a beautiful boat and another chugging down the waterways - yes, it's a jolly vid from David. Lovely!
Fascinating. It reminded me of when I used to do trade plating. Hitching to pick up a vehicle, driving it to a delivery point, and hitching back home. It's nice to see a young man loving his job. Thanks for the vid. ilona
You are the perfect person to produce stories like this. Professionally trained presenter and very knowledgeable about the subject. 👍
Thank you
Reverse layout - much better access to tea and sandwiches for the skipper...lol
also wont track any dirt stuck to your shoes through your sleeping area.
It has been fine watching Connor move this fine narrowboat. Thank you for the tour inside,
All these years on and I’m still enthralled as ever with both the channel and unique gem that is the Canal system! In every video, virtually without fail, there is something that makes me smile or makes me wish I could find that pace of life for myself and my loved ones. The world needs slowing and appreciating these days. All the best to the good gentleman moving boats and to your future endeavors! I will, as always, hoist a cold one when I finally slow down for the day!
I was worried, when you sold your boat, that you'd soon run out of topics & your channel would fade away...
However, you seem to be going from strength to strength... I'm amazed at each new topic!
This was one of my favourite vlogs & reminds me of my cousin who used to make his living delivering yachts around the Mediterranean
These type of ads, were the presenter is genuinely interested in it, are so much better than the scripted ones, hope more ads like this will come and help the channel to thrive. Another great video, thank you David and Cheerio!
Hi David... another great video ... and you are right, sometimes just being a passenger is best. Always fun watching!
Delightful video and what an enterprising chap Connor seems to be. Really enjoyed his stories. This was great, David! And you did Readly proud too!
Ah! you have discovered the "simple joy of being a passenger on someone else's narrowboat" David. I suppose I should not be surprised but I am as you have previously provided the virtual version of this delight to the likes of me over the last few years.
All your back stories make for interesting videos. I have been following you from almost the very beginning and you never disappoint. Thanks for taking us along.
If I was to ever go to England, I'd definitely have to go down a canal on a narrowboat. It seems you meet the most polite people the country has to offer. Probably hit as many pubs along the way as humanly possible. Lol
I really enjoy your taking us along on your new trips and seeing inside the boats.
You continue to come up with interesting and unique takes on the canals and canal boating. Nice video, thanks.
What a peaceful and interesting video. Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks David!
That’s the first product I’ve ever seen advertised on RUclips that I’ve gone and signed up for! Really impressed with it too! As always great video
Thank you! 😀😀
Ok, I’m sold. Planning a narrowboat vacation…from the US, a little challenging, but I’ll prevail!
Beautiful boat, Connor seems very good. It was a brilliant vlog as always from you. I must get a pad so I can get the magazine's thank you so much . Take care Blessings to you XXX
Works on any tablet or phone ;-)
nothing like David on a Narrow boat. Love it !
That was a great video David. You explain things so everyone understands. What a nice young lad to shift boats. He has great enterprise. Regards from New Zealand.
Another lovely vlog! Narrowboat mover would be an enjoyable line of work. Glad to hear Connor has lots of jobs on the go, too. Fun to see you dipping your toe into the world of sponsored content.
What a great job Connor has. What a great contact to have if you're too busy to move your own boat. Thanks, David.
Blimey, that’s literally at the end of my garden and Lyon’s is over the road. Would have been lovely to say hello. Oh well. Great video. Great idea by Connor.
If I had a Narrowboat, Connor is someone I'd definitely have in my list of contacts. Indispensible piece of info. Fascinating aspect of canaling, all those boats in the shipyard. Thanks David. Great little video.
David, that was such a super vlog. You never fail to surprise me with all the different aspects of canal boating you bring to us and allow us to share. Isn’t Connor a grand chap.
That boat is gorgeous!
Now that I have seen a newer version of a narrow boat, I am impressed!
Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely interior. Beautifully designed and crafted.
The way you present the “ad” doesn’t make it seem like an advertisement. For example, when you do the fireside chat showing us all of the things that narrowboaters have for sale or items that you have found unique that we might like as well. Your journalistic background served us very well for this video.
Thank you for taking us along
Good to see you nice and relaxed, on a narrow boat.🇦🇺🙏👍
Great video as usual. So enjoyed it.
Just like with Coalfinger, it's always lovely to know more about the people making a living through narrowboating. Thank you David!
No one ever told me at school that I could have a job like his when I left school!
Nice one Mr. David. Tks for sharing!
Well done, reminds me when you had your own boat.
Sweet gig. Good on him. Nice job David. 🎉
Hi
This maybe one of your better vlog ( except all are great ) What a neat job - love the boat layout.
I like these videos absolutely the most. My first video of yours was Coalfinger, and this feels like a cozy reminder and followup in the same vein. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
There are some awesome nontraditional jobs in this world thanks for showing us another one wish i was younger and healthier 😀 keep on boating
Thank you David, this was a most interesting vlog. Thank you for sharing.
Great video..this is a keeper..please do more of this kind of boat supporting industry ..vary nicely done..I think people would love this . and we still get boating adventures
Thank you!
What a completely lovely trip! Just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. 😎💕😎💕😎
Another finely presented video. Fellow RUclipsrs should take note.
A very nice video of a fine boat, lovely canals, and a most enterprising young man! Great job gentlemen.
Connor is very enterprising and what a lovely life/job he’s established for himself. Bravo :)
Brilliant boat and video - thank you 😃
What a pleasant job for a nice guy like Conor. Lovely boat too. Thanks for a decent cruising video, David - A nice relaxing start to the day
Nothing like finding a productive niche!
What a wonderful video and chat with Connor. Great to see you back on the water.
Delightful as usual David, the only things missing from the tour was a heron and the cheese sandwich! Cheers, from David downunder in NZL.
Cheers!
Excellent video. Connor does a great job. Fabulous kind of work in the fresh air and scenery. Thank you David for another most enjoyable cruise and documentary.
I enjoyed this video immensely David well presented as yours are always the ad was good but Connor has a lovely job well done to him for thinking of it
Thank you it’s been hard work to get where I am but it’s paying off 😊
Thanks David, always fun to see what you are doing and to get ride too.
Oooo first narrowboat I have seen with Loxone on there for the control system & lighting! It is the way to go!
Lovely blog. Thoroughly enjoyable. CHEERS
Nobody better at finding a small boat on the canals than David.
Thanks!! That was great!!
Love it when you cruise David. No one does it better.
The variety of your vlogs never fail to surprise and delight. Thanks David.
What a great job. Excellent vlog thank u 🙏
Gosh, David, you just might be the world's top salesman, that pitch for Ready was over the top good. Awesome subject for the post, the lad moving boats for a living. Another brush stroke on the canvas old chap, very well done. Cheers.
The only ad thats ever managed to convince me.
😀
Yes, Readly is great! And, of course, thanks for your video, as always. 😅
A bloody good vlog David and it’s nice to see you promoting Services that you use. It’s about time!!! 😇
Interesting video… I imagine he has a steady work load for himself.
Thanks for sharing!
I really liked this narrow boat. Great presentation David!
Well done every time. You have such a logical presentation, a point I like very much. I am glad to see your various takes on narrow boating.
Thank you very much!
Once again informative and entertaining. Wish you well sir.
I really enjoyed this trip! Very educational!
This was a wonderful video, thank you for making it. Your delivery was spot on, you gave neither too little or too much information _(though I'd personally like to know more about the power and engine configuration,)_ your tone was very calming and relaxing, the camerawork and editing were flawless, and you succinctly conveyed everything I wished to know about that man's work. Again, a great video with exceedingly little I'd chsnge or add. I look forward to seeing more of your videos, that's why I just subscribed. 😁
Thanks!
Wow!!! Thank you, that's extremely generous and very much appreciated 😀😀
@@CruisingTheCut I watched the 4 seasons on Netflix twice. I enjoy the show and it is a perfect way to end my day! So happy to have found you on RUclips.
Welcome along here 😊 For reference, vlog 201 on RUclips is roughly equivalent to where S4 on Prime ended so everything from 2020 onwards is YT only. Cheers!
Great video, a fascinating job.
That sure is one very nice looking boat, and it was good to see you enjoying it in such a relaxing style. I can well see you employing such staff as Colin to "cruise you around the cut" on your new glamorous super vessel when you come up lucky on the lottery. I hope it is soon.
Many thanks.
David in Dudley.
So cool to be in my old area , Shirley , Copt Heath ,our Old boys Club , Earlswood .
Made me look back , I crossed one canal everyday on my way to school for 10 years , just past the Rover Factory on my left heading into Solihull
Taking me back 50 years :-)
We had a brilliant maths teacher 'Swotty Ansell ' , he was old :-) Would join in mountain walks and get left far behind , passing us while we rested . 'Tortoise/Hare ' totally .
Sadly , his last walk was near a canal :-( I think he would be happy .
Oooh. I've got a paid gig to move a boat for someone when needed but I've never thought about doing that full time.
Great video, glad to see you back on the water! 🤠👍
I liked this David. Connor has quite an enviable career. Cheers!
As someone about to retire early I watched the video and thought "I could do that" and then listened to what Connor was saying and thought better of it. I shall continue to enjoy the majority of my narrowboating vicariously.
I love readly! I have all my sailing magazines at my fingertips even if I have no internet out at sea! They have excellent articles on harbors/anchoring etc all over the world nd it’s so helpful when sailing to new destinations! Thanks for allowing this sponsor! 💙👍🏼
That was a great vlog. Thanks for sharing David!
There used to be a cracking little club house/bar at Lady Lane Wharf, but was demolished a couple of years ago. Made some good boating friends in that place!
A great video David. Interesting to see other peoples jobs. Also good information regarding the online magazines 👍
Thank you 😊
Thank you. Enjoyed that.
Another wonderful, informative video. You provide an insight into things an American have no idea existed. Thanks again David.
What a fantastic job 😊nice video 😊thank you
Brilliant! Thank you David and Connor.
Your welcome Malvern
That was probably the most useful thing I have ever seen a RUclipsr advertise!
Did you not record your entire script? There was a bit of subtitle without you reading it out.
The ad read was entirely off the cuff but it should have been transcribed for the subtitles so thanks for the heads-up, I'll check that.
@@CruisingTheCut No, the bit missing was in the beginning, not in the ad. It was about the driver not wanting to give the boats a bad name by speeding.
Hi David, fellow Readly subscriber here. I’ve been using it for about 5 years and I love it. Can I also suggest taking a look at Borrowbox which allows you to download books from your local library at no charge.
Sponsored video. Awesome David :) Got taken for a cruise and got paid hehehe
Marvelous video. Fascinating topic. Great advert, even.
