No Will you didn’t really miss the turn into Selby lock. Going past and turning is the best way to do it. I’m surprised the lock keeper at Naburn didn’t advise you to do that. Had you been aware in advance it would have helped you greatly. Trying to simply turn straight into the lock is impossible in a narrow boat unless you’ve done it dozens of times before, and I certainly wouldn’t try it. Turning and coming back against the flow slows the event down, giving you time to get the manoeuvre done. In the end you achieved that entry perfectly. Don’t think you touched the wing wall at all. Not many first timers can pull that off. Congratulations 👍. You’ll enjoy the Derwent, and the Pocklington. Beautiful isolation on the “Pocky” . But no shopping!
It's hard to see the entrance to that lock I turned thinking to go in but I thought I'd better turn into the flow so I had to go across the river then turn. I was so relieved getting into that lock. I get used to it later on and get in perfect. Not a nice stretch of water that. Thankyou for your support. Have a great evening.
Cccrikey, you had us all on edge, the missus had her flutter board and flippers ready, just in case. I cold see Wills Way was doing exactly what you didn't want, taking you sideways with the flow, you down the bowels of the boat moving things, and It all came right and you cruised into the lock brilliantly. Needed an urgent pump out and water refill. Thank Will for an excellent vlog, take care.
Yeah it looks good on camera but I was turning in then the lock keeper shouted "turn around" so I had to go out again. It's just a shit river to do it on. My poor engine took a thrashing. It's making a funny noise now at full chat. Anyway I got in and that's the end of that chapter. Cheers Phillip.
Bloody hell Will that river was mental you did well getting her bk round to face the lock to go in it see what ya mean if you brake down on fell in that wud that I think take care Will cheers dude 🙂🔧⛳️✌️
Yeah that's the biggest worry. Getting a log in my prop or getting something wrapped around it. Nothing you can do then it's drift until it lands somewhere. Can't go on a bank because the waters going up and down all the time. No it's not a nice journey Lee. Glad I got in the lock. Cheers 💪
Well done Will, it did you a favour over shooting the Lock, I always find when conditions are like that on a river it’s easier going against the flow to get into the lock. Slows you down when entering and turning into the lock. Works for me. 👍🏼
Later on I turn early then just drift down and turn while drifting. That was my first time and i messed it up abit on top of crapping myself in those condition. Do I survive, will I make it next time? You'll have to wait Nick..Ha
Enjoyed your video of the River Ouse trip I am from Selby and agree that river is not for the faint hearted. It's good you shared your experience anyone thinking of going onto the Ouse in a narrow boat would learn alot from watching your video. All the best hope you enjoyed Selby.
I loved Selby full of colourful characters and that amazing Abbey and just down the canal is gorgeous countryside. That river Ouse is something else. Stay tuned because I go back. Thankyou James for watching.
@@NarrowboatWill take care, this one was a bit to next level i think. Tidel rivers can be rippers. Ha ha, enjoy the summer Will, and stay navigated nauticly. Safety frist.
Get this man on telly , such a good character and really funny 🤣 😆 love these videos. I ain't got a canal boat and I'm watching these 👍 gonna give you a sub mate ! All the best will great videos matey 👍
It's hard to see but the lock keeper is shouting "turn around" so I had to go out again and then turn. Looks good on camera abit like a swan on top but paddling like hell underneath. Ha ha Thankyou
That was definitely a squeaky bum moment. Had the same a few years ago turning into west Stockwith lock on the Trent. The lock keepers had said what to do but I went the wrong way round ended up sideways only time I have ever used full throttle. In the end your entry to the lock was textbook well done
Yeah there's no training or proper advice about doing these lock. I worry more about getting logs in my prop or breaking down. I had to thrash my engine going against the flow getting in to Selby. Not a nice experience especially when I've been doing gentle canals for so long. Ha Cheers for watching.
Will will will Canal boats give you a clue not rivers ! Pump out yuk we closed off our one on our second boat and went the cassette route. Glad you survived to scary for us life jackets don't compensate for stress of fast flowing rivers as you say rubbish around prop snaps coupling engine cuts out you scramble to the bow to drop anchor in the mean time you slam into a bridge and hole the hull not nice Thanks for your risk appreciate your time and efforts to film the scary cruising Take care Will Keep safe warm dry and virus free.
Ha ha yeah not really designed for rivers. I know why you went the cassette route. I can't get rid of the slight smell from the tank and pipes. Even after changing everything. So annoyed with it. It's a shame because it works so well and lasts 2 months. I do the Selby entry much better next time. I couldn't see the entrance till it was to late. Thanks for watching and your great comments. Take care.
What a scary experience, Will, but you put it right superbly well. The flow on that river was unbelievable!😱😱 I hope you were ok as you left us on a cliff hanger as the tide was carrying you away?🌊🌊 Great footage! 🌻🦋
It looked ok on camera but I was all over the place at the back, crapping myself. It's not just the flow or the wind it's all the trees and rubbish in there as well. I do a much better job later Mrs Mindful. Thankyou. Have a peaceful day.
I don’t know about squeaky bum time l think l’d have soiled my armour !That was a textbook entry into the lock .Scenes like that always reminds me of trying to get into Gloucester lock with the water thundering over the weir before the barriers were installed 😱
I've done that trip down to Bristol. That's a fast and big river. It's breaking down that makes me nervous or getting a log jammed in my prop. I know I had a log jammed somewhere else already. Thanks Tony.
I'm a swift water rescue tech and have done rescues on this stretch of river, it is absolutely terrifying and it's even more terrifying if you are a srt dog handler like me because I often a NO safety line unlike other srt's, the ouse at Selby is just terrifying!
you made a fantastic job of getting in the lock Will , i made the same trip today it was bloody horrible, i really think they need to be advising people of the dangers of that trip , i will not be doing it again that's for sure, you done very well , great vlog .👍
Hello Kev and cake making Julie. Mmm that was nice with ice cream. I put some berries on and....Wait a minute what was I talking about. Oh yeah the cake..no.. I mean the river Ouse is bloody dangerous..Not a nice journey that. Cheers you two.
I don't want to seem too clever, but on a racing ebbtide like that, I would have thought your lock approach to be the only way. Had I been gongoozling (as some were, you didn't comment on it) on the bank, I would have thought "sensible chap" seeing your manoeuvre downstream. You can't do anything about the wind, but approaching the lock entrance from downstream meant that you could use the current to push the bow round into the lock opening (exactly as you did). The other thing that occurred to me (someone switched my brain on this morning, can't help it) is that you can't "freewheel" on the current, because the rudder only works in conjunction with the prop. So if you turn the engine off and just drift, you're at the utter mercy of the river.
You are absolutely correct but I didn't know all this at the time. I started to turn straight into the lock but the lock keeper shouted turn around. So I had to go out again then turn. It felt really stressful but looked good on camera. I do drift later on and it work really well. Stay tuned. Thankyou for the great comment.
Well done Will, I remember entering Selby lock myself very exciting, we turned boat around just after railway bridge and approached lock going backwards which made entering into lock a little easier, turning the boat was the scariest we were being pushed sideways and ended up putting bow into the trees before the stern would come around, that really pushed heart rate up,enjoying your adventures,stay safe 👍
I couldn't see the turn into Selby. I wasn't really sure what to do. I was about to put my nose into the lock but the locky was shouting turn around. So I had to go out again and turn. I crapped myself to be honest. If my boat breaks down on that stretch it's goodbye boat. So dangerous. So what did I do go out again a day later. Ha ha cheers Alan..
@@NarrowboatWill Surprised they didn't tell you before you left I was the best procedure, we came down on a 15metre spring tide , hope our paths cross one day we can exchange the experience
After watching your adventures lately I fancied going up to Ripon , Don't like the look of the Ouse at all now. Also interested in exploring the Derwent but of course that would involve going miles further done the ever widening Ouse. Awaiting to see your further exploits, good luck and safe passage.
Hiya. It sounds to me that the way you got into that lock was the only way possible in those conditions. The alternative could well have been disastrous. Well done. Maybe another time try doing exactly the same but about 2 minutes earlier perhaps.
It took me by surprise. It was my first time and the flow just caught me out. It's not until I turn then I realise how fast it's going. Cheers for watching.
@@NarrowboatWill as you know it could be anything, only taken my engine over 2500 rpm once on the River Douglas...just changed my prm150 gearbox oil, thats it for another 750 hours..whats your plans for later in the year..
Well done ripper you’ll be fine now that the loo is empty 😂😂 Yea you’ll have too stop big up your part, I’d tell you a boxing joke to cheer you up but I don’t know any punchlines😂😂😂 It’s all fun 👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve done Shelby lock about a dozen times now and each one was different, first time is a squeaky bum thing hope ye arse didn’t make too many buttons 😂
My next attempt is much smoother and smoother still on my 3rd go. Getting better each time. The lock doesn't bother me it's smashing my prop on a lump of wood or breaking down. Then it would be squeaky bum time. Ha ha Cheers
wow , that looked tough , trying to get into the lock , especially with the tide running so fast , but you did it , 👍 well done , but why did'nt you carry on down the river after the lock , is it a dead end ? .
Do you mean Selby canal? I came up the canal. I waited over night because I wanted to go to The river Derwent further down the river Ouse. Thanks again Lori for watching.
Hello Trevor. I have a beta 38 but I met a chap on the Derwent who had a 15hp twin beta engine. He thrashed the living daylights out of it to get to York. Almost 3-4 thousand rpm. Max revvs. He said it's over heating abit. Really I wonder why. Ha ha
@@NarrowboatWill wow. Did make me wonder how someone like Robbie Cummings with his little 13hp lister would cope. Even more scarey. I bet It was overheating knackered and took a vacation 😂
You did absolutely nothing wrong,that was perfect.never try to enter a tidal lock going with the current,must always turn into the tide so you've got full control of the boat.trying to enter the lock on your first approach would have been disastrous.
Yes I was trying to enter the lock but the lock keeper shouted "turn around". I had to go out and turn. It looked good on camera but it felt terrible at the time. I do a much better job next time. Cheers Gary.
I thought the film and sound was good. As good as my go pro. Go pro are over rated. The batteries are rubbish and it won't connect to my phone using their app. Common faults apparently but it sounds like you know this.
@@NarrowboatWill Ive never had issues with the app or batteries it's the stabilisation of the footage on a GoPro is way better than any phone 😉 I still enjoy your vids but I do like to have a whinge 😂 big hugs

Well done Will on that manoeure, looked scarey when you were sideways.
I was scared Glynn. It's not a nice stretch of river. I'm a novice really. Thankyou for your support though. Have a great evening.
👏👏👍👍Awesome! Good job getting back into that lock. Had me on the edge of the seat! 🇺🇸
It had me crapping my seat. Ha ha cheers
Oh dear Will that was scary but nevertheless less a gd vlog has usual Ann n David 👍😉
Thankyou Ann and David. It's great having you guys along. Have a good day.
Crikey Will you had me woriied there for a while. Very well done on getting in the lock. I can`t wait for the next episode of "The adventures of Will"
Ahhh cheers Philip. My next lock entry is abit calmer. That's not a nice river unlike the Derwent. Wow..Stay tuned..cheers.

You go past it turn against the flow to get in it. Just like that.
On the edge of are seat , brilliant boat control Will you certainly had your weetatbix that morning, love the vlogs keep crushing Joan and Rob 👍
I really messed that up but later on I get the hang of it. That's not a nice stretch to go on. Thankyou for your support Joan.
OMG, you had me on the edge of my seat then Will. Awesome skills there, well done. Another great video. See you on the next one.
I was on the edge on my boat. Ha ha I was nervous abit this trip. Thanks for your support.

Yeah well I didn't want to show that camera but I did. Ha ha It looks great on camera but behinds the scenes I was thrashing my engine. Thanks Lee.
This is one of the most satisfying georgius U-turns ive ever seen. Safe boating Will.

Thankyou Lloyd. It looked ok on film but I was crapping myself. Ha ha it's such a dangerous passage. Cheers
Great Helmsmanship bubby👍. We do enjoy you vlogs. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿
That's very kind of you to say Mike. Thanks for watching.
Wow Will that was defiantly squeaky bum time….enjoyed your vlog as usual
My bums still squeaking. Its not just me other boaters hate that journey. So dangerous.
Get this man on telly , such a good character and really funny 🤣 😆 love these videos. I ain't got a canal boat and I'm watching these 👍 gonna give you a sub mate ! All the best will great videos matey 👍
Thankyou so much Ray. Welcome aboard.
🛳😁👍
I think that was the best way to tackle the flow , go down steam turn around and go against it , more control . In the end well done , rippers :-)
