I know a guy who has been married 4 times and he is the loveliest bloke, never goes looking for love but always gets found, usually by an attractive woman with underlying issues that soon develop. I missed his last wedding, sent a note saying sorry “see you at the next one”.
That was no lady! They were quite the exhibitionists, they seemed to be enjoying the attention - especially when she looked directly at the camera as she flipped him off...
A big problem is a lot of these will be hires and they only give them 1/2hr basic instruction on how to pilot them. People with absolutely no experience of boats try to drive them like cars and it just doesn't work.
We had a narrow boat for 9 years but after covid so many idiots had bought boats we sold ours , we couldn’t believe just how quickly they had ruined the peaceful nature of the cut.
The divoced 4 times couple remind me of when me and the wife went camping once and a couple in a nearby tent had a pissed up row. Everyone was mentioning it in the village pub the next day. Classic. Nice relaxing video. Thanks
Great video! That fat old cow yelling in that dispute was the best😂 you know shes the next to go😂 shes obviously # 5 he can move on to nunber 6. Maybe he will get someone better
You are so right Martin, none of it is put on, it just happens. They feature in one of my earlier videos "Narrowboat Vloggers" and the commentary goes something like, " Running out of water, nearly falling in, lost drone in a tree" the list is endless but they are great fun to watch and very entertaining. Thank you for your comment.
I am a new boater but I am absolutely mystified as to how the blue boat in the lock mounted the lock gate and pointed at the stars …how do you do that!!!!! On second thoughts ….I don’t want to know.😮😮😮
The boat hasn't mounted the lock gate; its through it by a good 10 feet and gate is open. So whilst the boat was partially out of the lock, someone has opened the bottom paddles and drained the water out of the lock and the pound above, though why anyone would want to do this on purpose is beyond me! However, I did once have half a sheep stuck on the prop and had to go into a lock heading 'downhill', get the boat stuck on the cill and drain a bit of water out of the lock, then attack the sheep whilst standing on top of the cill. All in all, not one of the most pleasent episodes in my life!!😁
Another American in the PNW, I concur with your statement. My sailboat is also my home and I've seen a lot over my lifetime. Especially the last 15 years as people who have money have bought their first boats often in the 40'-50' range and no boating experience, no wonder our insurance rates have skyrocketed! Money definitely doesn't buy brains or manners. One of my favorite boat broker stories of a pandemic boat buyer was a couple was buying a 50' Selene twin screw trawler, when the one spouse asked, "why does it have two engines ?"
I Love you and your last comment, Full refs and steer it into those bushes !!! ,thank you for making me burst out laughing. i always thought boating was relaxing.
@@NarrowboatSuperB You do get the odd clown who own their own vessel without knowing anything but they are few. It's almost impossible to bareboat charter without an RYA accreditation or an ICC.
There's quite a few on the Solent. It seems a common occurrence that someone in a big Sunseeker will deliberately power close past sailing boats just to send everyone on board flying with their wake! Had that happen to me on the same day as witnessing another one playing unintentional bumper cars with the other boats in the marina!
It always amazes me how new/novice boaters don't get that boats do not handle like automobiles. hull weight & speed, current, wind, engine power, how a rudder works, traffic, and waterway clearance all seem to be items out of the chapter that they didn't bother to read. Throw in a little alcohol and an attitude of entitlement and it is a very good thing that the UK has better control over privately owned firearms than the US.
Canal boating looks so relaxing and then you see this😮. Great video, thanks for posting. To the lady with the four times married man - why did she think she'd succeed where so many had failed😂
I think that the guy in the blue boat ramming the gates probably couldn't get the levels to equalize due to leakage at the headgate paddles, but there are better ways of dealing with it without wrecking the gates.
Always approach a dock as fast as your willing to hit it. I work on the river in Stratford upon avon. No boater has any idea about the chain ferry having right of way being hand cranked. And if the boat says holidays on the side of it then give it a wide berth
When they're driving their cars there are the people who hog the outside lane of a motorway, block yellow box junctions jump red lights and veer across lanes on roundabouts.
I think it's all common sense and courtesy however that seems to be in short supply, on a plus note there's a torpedo upgrade available for those sorts of interactive demonic meetings😂
I heard you narrate saying “Tickover” about barges going too fast. My American parents rented a barge in England and had a wonderful time. They told me they were told to go at tickover speed. They sail a small sailboat and know how to handle a boat. More people should try tickover.
@@NarrowboatSuperB Didn’t know about the town but I do understand what tickover speed is. When the engine says Tick O ver Tivk O ver Tick O ver. right??
i have driven a small boat 1-2 times. so not much experience at all. but even i know, when you approach something (lock, mooring,..) you do it slowly. a boat has momentum, you can not stop it like a car. i think some people forget (or don't know) that.
You can stop a boat quick. But it's not a good option. I once came into a dock dead of night. I was going very slow. The dock was about 2 inches away my friend was impressed. Put it in gear take it out. Rinse repeat. Slow and steady. Rule #1 of boating. Don't rush. And rule #2 don't let anyone else rush you. Focus on the task until the engine is cut. 👍 BTW reverse does act like a break. I almost got thrown from a boat cause I wasn't ready for it but knew it was coming.
@x5x, that's because you were brought up to 'think' intelligently about consequences (to others as well as yourself) before you act. Unfortunately, you're up against too many folk who were dragged up to think only of themselves.
Maximum steering without wasted flow is achieved by goin back to tick over, centre tiller, then up the throttle wait half a second or a second then push the churn if its easy to push tiller then you pushed too early. If you just hold it full tilt its clearly pushing churn both ways if you look back at the churn. So from full tilt at high revs go back to tik over push tiller back to centre up throttle wait a second then turn the churn You can repeat this and your turn will be much more turn and less forward wasted energy
That boat that rammed the gates didn’t even attempt to slow down, in fact he keep the throttle going after he hit the gate ..it looked as though he was trying to ram the gates open and go thru without getting his lazy self out of his boat and manually open the gates…is that even possible?
I could have given you one from inside our boat that was really bad but we are swearing really bad on it. They damaged the boat and paintwork the whole length of it. This was on the weaver where it’s huge - so how he hit us I’ll never know!
Never go boating wirh anybody who aint up for laugh....and as a fisherman who fishes the trdnt and mersey canal, you should see how many times barges ram the shut locked gates...it must cost severn trent a fortune in repairs.
Really good question WHY?, that fool still had the boat in gear and throttle wide open as he rammed the gate and even then he still kept it in drive after wrecking them. Just WHY?
I used to work ghe manual lock gates in my teens for pocket money and saw a narrow boat bow sitting on lock gate whilst draining 🤷🤦 i informed hi. Twice of his problem but he said it be ok in a very arrogant manner 🤦🤷 the bow end then ripped off the boat 🤦🤷 he got angry and went below deck and started shouting at his wife 😮 some people just won't be told 🤭🤭

I feel for that wee kid sitting at the front of that boat thinking this is what life's all about.
This is what happens when you've done too many locks in one day. No wonder the captain has been married four times! 😂
Quick use or the rudder would have put her overboard. Might have cooled her off a little.
A big problem is a lot of these will be hires and they only give them 1/2hr basic instruction on how to pilot them. People with absolutely no experience of boats try to drive them like cars and it just doesn't work.
"That's why been married four times" not only hilarious, but that boat they're on is gorgeous. Stern looks like an old ocean liner.

Its the same with fishing since covid, it used to be a peaceful sport
Just like the nerds in their niche games learned, if you don't gatekeep your hobby it *will* be destroyed.
My dad was a lock keeper, you wouldn't believe the dumb stuff I've seen.
Here in the Netherlands the same happened on boating (we don't really have narrowboats).
Also mainly a result of the covid nonsens.
So people thought being on a boat was safer? That sucks, especially the younger ones who are aholes and arrogant and drunk.
I agree, go full revs into the bushes, pretend you did not see her falling in
Quite a few have said that

Yea he could blame her for distracting him then while she's bobbing in the cut leave her their 😂

Been married 4 times guy juat wants some peace on the canal 😂
And no way is he getting that.
He should take her down below and give her one…
This was brilliant, never new so much goes on I the canals.
Looks to me if the pilots on some of these boats need some tuition. 😊
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Tuition? They need to start with some manners first and foremost.

Maximum steering without wasted flow is achieved by
goin back to tick over,

then up the throttle wait half a second or a second then push the churn if its easy to push tiller then you pushed too early.
If you just hold it full tilt its clearly pushing churn both ways if you look back at the churn.
So from full tilt at high revs go back to tik over push tiller back to centre up throttle wait a second then turn the churn
You can repeat this and your turn will be much more turn and less forward wasted energy

I have a 15m inland cruiser on the canal du midi and I see renters commit crimes against common sense every day.
The trouble is people can hire these boats so easily and have no damn idea - with some drugs or alcohol it equals trouble
They have a five minute lesson, but to be fair, most tend to be ok, but you are correct with the drug/alcohol assessment.
