    I really enjoy your videos.. You seem to be a very happy couple..your vlogs bring me a sense of peace and joy.. My late husband Allan and I realized our dreams of live aboard life for 6 years from 2000- 2006. I live in Victoria BC and we had a Californian 55. Built by Carver Yachts.. They were fabulous years and culminated our boating adventures which extended from 1979 in our 32 ft Woody Grand Banks with our two children to our final boat..called Ten Plus.. our live-aboard.

    We do dereent mouth quite a lot being moored at sawley. We haven't had the nose taken at derwent mouth but our engine / propeller doesn't like it and we always seem to feel like we're losing power as we go across into the T&M. As new boat owners the first time we thought the engine was giving up and we might need to deploy rhe anchor. I agree it can be scary especially when the river levels are up a bit
    We've seen those cygnets recently and they all have survived. Pretty big now .. and hungry

    • @cruisingontheborder

      Hi there great information about your experiences on that section of the network, other boaters have told us the same. I think in summer it wouldn't be too much of a problem, we did it after heavy rain.We hope you get out and about and enjoy the network. Great update on the swans J&M

    Can't help saying what a lovely couple you are. So down to earth and no showiness at all. It's really a joy to watch every one of your episodes, which you make so interesting. I spent a total of seven weeks on the Llangollen and the Lancs canals, many years ago and enjoyed every minute of it. Can't do it now, as I live in Ireland and at 87, I don't do much travelling now, except driving around the West of the country in my car. But I love watching your travels. So relaxing. Thank you very much. Continue with your good life. Best wishes. Des.😊

    Dear Jacki ad Michael. We found you by mistake and are really glad we did-we have really enjoyed binge watching 62 episodes and are sad we have now caught up! Your videos are so entertaining, informative and very relaxing. We have a cruiser (No 26) on the Lancaster Canal at Bridge House Marina, Garstang. Lovely moorings and facilities and lovely family business. Your mooring under the willow tree is a fabulous spot and how lovely to hear the guitarist entertaining you. We'll hopefully meeting you if you come on the Lancaster Canal-we'll look out for you. In the meantime please carrying on enjoying cruising and drinking your coffee!!! David and Hilary

    It’s amazing how the addition of a little technology really helps - walkie talkies are a great addition. Solar powered led light added to the middle of the boat, that turns on automatically when in a tunnel and really illuminates each side of the tunnel seems to make it much more straight forward to see where the boat is positioned in the tunnel and avoid bumping the side - as a viewer it is interesting to really see how the tunnel is constructed.

    • @cruisingontheborder

      Hi Katherine yes the walkie talkies were the perfect solution to our cruising 'shouting' at each other to be heard from the towpath. We couldn't be with out them now..

    What a grand summer day this ended up being. Thanks for the nice bit of canal/river junction history. Indeed it was peaceful. Indeed a nice little shot of ___ doesn’t hurt at all. Pleasant to learn that you have a son and that he’s visiting. All good as they say.
    That guy singing on his Narrowboat…. he had a real decent voice. That was impressive. The canals can be surprisingly adventuresome…but hey ! …. I needn’t tell the two of you.😂
    Thanks again for taking us along. This videography business is time consuming but I want you to know that “I get it”
    Nice solemn ceremony in France BTW.
    Au plaisir de vous revoir.

      Yes agree with all your comments, it was the perfect spot to moor and a real treat with the music.
      Yes the video editing is very challenging some weeks and time consuming... sometimes you don't realise you've missed recording a part of the story which was important and have to do a voice over to explain. All part of being actor, camera man/women, editor, director and producer at the same time. It's a good job there was two of us... Ha ha.
      So pleased you enjoyed the commemoration of the liberation in France. Merci beaucoup. xx

    Beautiful scenery! Love the willow trees !
    So do narrow boats have grey tanks for shower and sink water or is that ok to drain into the canals? Actually, nobody in a narrow boat mentions emptying a grey tanks so I suspect the canal are your grey tanks, so to speak
    Really enjoying your channel ❣️

      Thanks Katherine for taking the time to drop us a comment, we so appreciate it. The willow tree was incredible. Fortunately Michael hung onto the camera as he came into moor!!! In terms of emptying into the canal our grey water, it is permitting by the CRT. A lot of boaters use enviro friendly products, as we do, so there is minimal damage.
