  • After waiting almost two weeks to go out on the River Severn, due to it being on flood, the levels have finally dropped, enough so the River has gone onto yellow boards, but the current is still extremely strong, about 3mph. But when we make it out onto the river we have a terrible accident, that ends in us out in the middle of the river with no tiller. The tiller had been ripped clean off...

    Well done, Josh. That was certainly quick thinking by you. You managed to save the boat, calm your mom, get off the river, onto a lock, and persevere to find the tiller. Hats off to you.

    What a horrible experience! Thank goodness you are both okay. Great kudos to Josh for his quick thinking.
    You could have been drifting down the River Severn with no means of steering. Olive with you and the cats on board could have ended up going over a weir, that doesn't bear thinking about.

    That was a blessing in disguise. 0:04 Just imagine how things could have gone trying to get to Stourport in those conditions. You're still alive and have a boat, but that could easily have not been the case. It was a huge unnecessary risk ever going onto the river. The river will still be there tomorrow, just wait it out and be patient.

    • @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat
      @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat  3 месяца назад

      I think we have definitely learnt our lesson here and we did eventually wait for the levels to go down and successfully got to Stourport as you will see in a future vlog.

    Very dodgy. Wow. Assuming olive will now be pulled out for a fix. You should use this opportunity to fix all your steering issues. Get the engineer to design and fit a much bigger, better rudder. Olive’s rudder is way too small for a 70 footer. 🙂🙂

    • @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat
      @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat  3 месяца назад

      We didn't have to get Olive out of the water as a welder came to her and welded the tiller back on so all good. When we blacken her again we intend to get a bigger propellor.

    AHH !! That happened to me the bike rear wheel
    Gripped the lock gate at hungerford and dragged it off the bike rack into the lock luckily I hadn't tied it round the tiller it happened again at Atherstone but the front wheel stayed on the rack bikes are a pain but I did see a boater with his bike stood on end on his rack so it doesn't stick out at the sides of the stern but what an experience you had talk about Narrow escapes
    Dianne how scary , how about the Basingstoke
    Canal so all us viewers can sleep at night 🥺 !!

    • @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat
      @TaylorsAboardaNarrowboat  3 месяца назад

      We will be heading for the Basingstoke canal later on. We have tried to go on there about 3 times and due to covid, lack of water etc we haven't been able to. Let's hope we can this year. We won't be putting the bike on the back of Olive anymore. We have had too many problems with it.

    Well you guys are definitely entertaining… I don’t think you realise how lucky you are… I know you imply you have a lot of bad luck… but seriously… you haven’t learnt from the Thames, when you had no idea of the engine capabilities… no life jackets… that roller could easily have swept mum overboard… no mum! … and the fact that the boat drifted onto a pontoon must mean that someone has been lighting a candle for you… If you dance with the devil… eventually you will get burned… please enjoy your boating and love your video work… but be safe… not numpties 😊

    Bikes are a blummin nightmare outside whilst moving aren't they, either they are in the way or they end up mangled and in the cut. I see some proper old timers with bikes on the stern, I wonder how many incidents they had before they just gave up and let the gods of the water do its thing.
