  • EPISODE 56
    We're pushing ourselves to make distance in the boat to get to the boatyard, we're tired and we're in a rush! It's not quite so fun anymore... We wouldn't usually do this, but we have places to be!! We tackle Foxton Locks and then carry on with the next leg of our journey with more locks the next day! ...........but we love it all really 😉

      What is the name of the song that plays at 12:40? It is so beautiful, melodic and peaceful. I would like to buy it if it's available. I truly love your videos. You get to see so many interesting things, and the beautiful countryside, but the thing I like the best is that you two have each other. May you have many beautiful and wonderful years together!

    You are the best narrow boaters on RUclips for sure. Just love seeing you cruising, snacking, bread making, and Alan's exploring, accompanied by Ben's tunes. Don't ever change. The formula is perfect.

    • @BenandEmily

    It's midnight in Chiang Mai, but I don’t mind, 'cos I'm wide awake watching my favourite Narrowboaters. I bang the _Like Button_ immediately and settle down for my bedtime story 😊
    I must say that I'm constantly amazed at Alan's ability to understand that Home is a moving object, and she can nick off for a 5 minute pee or check out the swans nests when they're not looking, then scamper back home _while its slowly moving towards the Locks!_ all the while remaining calm as if this is a perfectly normal feline lifestyle.
    My cats would freak out if the house moved (we do get the odd earthquake here 😢).
    Thanks you three for a captivating opening into another realm.

      A really well summed up comment! Also I’m endlessly amazed by how my cat manages to understand the same moving house concept, she’s been a house cat for the past decade, and would get lost on terraced housing streets after being out for 5 minutes. Not street wise at all. Boat life is now her retirement and amazingly she just gets it. Didn’t think a older cat could learn these things but she has just taken to it like a proverbial duck to water. 😺

    The easy way to get off the silt when your stuck, is to use the engine, push the tiller hard over away from the bank and go hard ahead, this will push the stern into deeper water then back off into deep water and carry on !

  • @davidmarsh959
    @davidmarsh959 Год назад +2

    Hi Its Debbie not david xx I love your channel I love everything about it, I also love the way that Alan is not at all bothered where you are and how she just jumps off and has a look round and then wanderes back on she always knows where the boat is. She is one clued up puddy cat she is the star of the show. Have you ever thought of a papouse rather than a back pack have her on your front you could try a large scarf she might like it being able to see your face. I thought the locks were brilliant, it is good there are helpers there to help you through, it would be blimmin hard wprk on your own. Thanks for a brilliant video looking forward to next weeks already thanks debbie not david xxxxx

    Another great video by the two best people in the Canal Videos. For your trips back-and-forth to the van. Why don’t you buy a rack to go in the hitch receiver on the back so it would be easier to load your bike up for the trip back to the new location. Surely Benny sells enough albums. You could buy two or three of them. As always love all of your videos and look forward to your next one

    Hello there good progress through the flight at Foxton great countryside around Leicester i lived there 1948 to 1965 went to secondry school in Wigston. Leicester is a great old town to explore lots of history. If you have time to go there and explore. You will go right through the center of the city and there is mooring there if you have CRT key. As you the approach the city lots of trash but then it clears up in the center of town. Alan is a cool cat who seems to know what you say and obeys you guys, ok stay safe and well see you next vlog Ed40 S of Vegas

    Thats a fairly typical mooring on the K&A. Depending on your draught, you'll rarely be closer and often much further out. You may also need another plank, to extend over reeds etc. to get to terra firma.

We're making our way up the Grand Union shortly. :) Oh and Alan is so obedient ... we need lessons for our cat haha!

My wife Amanda and I lived aboard a 44ft boat for a year cruising the Coral coast of Queensland , all while renovating her from bow to stern.

    Have you both ever thought about coming off the canal in the future and go on normal rivers now and then to try something different than just boating in canals 🤔 just a random thought I just had while watching this weeks video 😊
    I live in St Neots, Cambridgeshire and our river is the river Ouse and when my brother had a boat, one of many, I’ve only ever been as far as st Ives, Cambridgeshire and just past st Neots. But I’m told that it’s one of the best rivers 🤔 I know it’s long way, but who knows, maybe in the future you’d consider that 😊 keep up with your videos and content 😉 Tel from St Neots
