  • In this vlog, we reach Lymm. I get to paint one side of my boat, watch parking arguments, a sad burnt boat, and repair Leon's friend's Perkins engine on his cruiser. I also have a look around gorgeous little Lymm. Join me, and if you enjoy my vlogs and style of filming and you'd like to support me, then you could buy me a coffee and/or superthanks and subscribe.
    Thank you so much. ❤️ 💓 💗 💛

      You can park your car just past the main road bridge that goes through the town. Just past the bridge is a grassy area. Moor there and park there. It's like a dirt track outside the flats. Good luck. 🫵👍

    Hi folks I see that you are still safe and well. Which I am glad to see..as for the future of narrow boaters I really can't find anything about the national trust taking over the canal system..??
    I noticed that you have shown a boat that had caught fire..?? Unfortunately will this is a daily occurrence on the canals..
    I noticed that you are hard at it repairing other people's boats.. unfortunately . will . people have a tendency to neglect the maintenance of Thier boats.. especially when it comes to the engine. You were right about the engine being water cooled the header tank needs to be full of water upon starting the engine..it helps to start the pumping system .
    But I am sure that you are aware of this.. anyway mate keep safe and well.. filthy thumbs up 👍👍👍 ..

    • @NarrowboatWill

      No Wayne. I didn't know that tank needed to be filled. The other engine tank was empty. I presume its in the sump. That does make sense. I'm glad I could help him. In later vlogs I help him move it. He's painted it now and getting the electrics sorted. A boat saved I feel. 🙌 👍👍
