- In this vlog, I paint, cycle to Lancaster, use the wind, and service my boat and van stuff. Go up to a viewing point where I can see Blackpool. Cooking outside. There is so much stuff in this one, and it's free. Amazing value..But if you feel flush and you fancy supporting me, then you can buy me a coffee and/or a superthanks and subscribe with a filfy fumbs up.
Thank you so much. ❤️ 💓 💗 💛

Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤
Don't know what you did in your younger life but the world needs more like you....Your generosity is a credit to you fella
I always think that. If everybody helped somebody or picked a bit of litter up. The world would be a better place. Thanks 👍 😊
@@NarrowboatWill totally agree. I find many people won’t even make eye contact because they are so untrusting of others, sad isn’t it.
👍You nailed it, again, another lovely vlog. Glasson Basin is beautiful, no wonder you are happily staying there for two weeks, helping others, painting your boat and fixing your van, all these favourite things you love doing.
Next time you come over I will take you down there lurrrr.
Morning Will, another beautiful vlog. You are such a kind, caring & compassionate person, like others have said, there needs to be more people like you in the world!! ❤😊
Thanks Sue. See you for a cruise later. 🛳
We discovered that part of the country 2 years ago when our son started studying at Lancaster University. We love it! Such a beautiful place and lovely people too. Will be back up soon for his final year. We will miss our trips to Lancaster and the surrounding area. Definitely recommend .
Your shots of Glasson Basin are fab Will. 😊
Glasson basin is a hidden gem. I love Lancaster. So much to see..
This canal is one of my favorites so far. 😍
Heysham beach is lovely it’s such a small beach that hardly anyone goes to, with a lil church yard and lay out stones just above the little village. Such a cute lil village 🤗
Stay tuned for that place. Coming up in later vlogs..
Thanks for watching..
Your videos make me happy
Thank you xx
You are so kind.
Lovely Views from the top of the hill . Glad you got your engine service and is all well.😊
I just love a good engine service. 😂 🤣
Have a great day, Christopher..
Just to let you know that I got up out of bed at 1 am Indiana time to catch your video, and it was well worth it. Will, you’ve got such a down to earth, easy to get along with personally. It’s always a joy watching and listening to your sincere interactions with others. Happy, carefree boating, Tom
Thank you so much, Thomas for getting up to watch an old duffer cycling and messing around with engines and boats. I love it. ❤️
Have a good day. 👍
The boats looking lovely Will! You’re a top bloke helping others.
I enjoy using what skills I've got to help others.
Take care and have a good day. 👍
Keep the vlogs coming.
Thank you so much. You've made my evening. 👍
it's nice to see someone that likes to help others , lets hope it rubs off onto your sons too , my hubby changed his oil & filter the other day too , he drained all the oil out , then realised he'd forgotten to get a filter for it lol , Ooops , & it was sunday so could'nt get one from shops , so i managed to get him one from amazon , next day delivery , phew lol .
😂 🤣 easy mistake. You will save a fortune doing your own servicing. Well done.
Hi Will. Thanks for another GR8 video. Also it was GR8 to meet you by the canal on Saturday giving you a filthy thumbs up lol. When I said I was a subscriber, I was mistaken, but I am now. BTW across from Glasson on Sunderland point is Sambo's grave. Google that you might want to visit. Look forward to your next video mate. Take care 👍👍👍
Hello, and thanks for subscribing. We were talking about that grave today..Small world.
Nice to meet you. 😊
Take care Stephen. 👍
The boat is looking sharp with all that work on it. The polish over the paint on the sides was very effective!
Only that paint restorer spray works. I've tried all sorts. Cheers 👍
great vlog on channel cranking it on the cut keep up the great vlogs yoyu do thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it Lee. Cheers mate. 👍
Afternoon will me old, a topic that comes up when we have an old boys meeting, do you run your engine until warm before draining oil or like I prefer, leave the car overnight and do it in the morning when all the oil has settled and most in the sump, I drain and change my filters then, always sparks a mild debate, nice video as per, most enjoyable Will.
My boat, I drain my engine oil when it's warm because it's just easier to pump out. My van, I just dump it and leave it dripping till it stops.
No ,nothing is ever simple.but you always make your engine service interesting.At least you’ve got some spare oil now 😊 Maybe they do a B O air freshener to complement the one you bought 😂
Thank you. I've done a few engine service vlogs now. I hope it helps other boaters.
😂 🤣 a B O air freshener. I know they do a rancid one.
Lovely area, I do have a thing for estuaries and love the sound of the wind in the rigging of sailboats, brings back childhood memories.
I sat listening to those sail lines and they made a nice tune. 😂
I hope you have recorded sound of the wind to make some music with it.
boat looks good well-done you the starlings will poop over the clean boat . Leon ok managing his boat ok . could just do with the hedge trimming for better view, lovely
weather again lucky you .😉😊
Great vlog again 👍🏻 Will to the rescue again what a Top Banana 👍🏻see you on the next one 🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Poor bloke was stranded miles from home.
Thanks for stopping by. 👍
That Glasson Basin is wonderfull you'd never want to leave. I know you have to and can't stay too long at one place. Plus there are so many beautiful places you can go to and I am here for that journey 😊
Thank you, Robert. I'm glad you're coming along. ☺️
Every body needs a will in there life😋
I better tell shui. 😂 🤣
starlings are talking about where they have been all day ,,in the mornings they go into groups and go to different places
Agreed. They do chatter alot. 😂 🤣
Thanks for another one Will. Take care. 👍👍
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Great vlog Will, fantastic shots of all the birds it's very calming to watch. Lancashire is so beautiful and of course the weather makes all the difference. I mirror the comments from the other rippers with regards your helpfulness to other people, I think you always get it back somehow as I keep saying...your some guy for one guy...anyway I will see you on the next one buddy. 🤭😄😀
Very kind words, Stewart. Thank you. In my view. What goes around comes around in this world.
Have a great day. 🫵 👍
Nice 1 Will. Good to see you yesterday. I am under the weather with this that and the other hence keeping myself to myself even though moored up a couple of boats up from you. Have a good week…
Don't worry, mate. 😉 No doubt we'll meet again.
At least you said hello.
@@NarrowboatWill indeed mate…
Great video Will, the mechanical stuff is very helpful for other boaters. Your videos keep getting better.
Scafell Pike is a great mountain. The National Trust keep all of the surrounding areas very tidy. It's a nice walk even if you don't go up the mountain.
I've never seen an otter but we do have seals on this marina. Plenty of seals out here on the Great Ouse.
That otter kept popping up and then disappearing. I expected it to keep coming up. I waited for ages but nothing.
Thank you for your great comment. 👍
hi will. If you ever pass a motor parts direct store get your parts from them. Very good quality and service. Ps and save money compared to halfords. Nice vlog yet again mate.
I've got a trade card for Halfords. I get 10% off oil and service parts. I will shop anywhere, though, if it's close. Thanks for the comment.
Nice vlog glad your still enjoying Glasson Dock, on a vlog from another boater we saw a boat identical to Henry and Frans boat in Leeds is it the same boat Will take care .😊
Hello Robert. 👍
I don't think another boat like that exists. It must be the same boat.
Take care. 👍
I don't know if there is a marina there but seems like you have found somewhere you could be happy to stay for extended period. Luv-Ley
I did stay for nearly two weeks. I loved it, but the locks keep closing so you could be stuck down there for months.
Thanks Julie. 👍
GG says woof to you and Leon
Leon and Will say. Meeeeeooowwww
Hi Will. Looks like you enjoyed your time at Glasson. Is it a silver propeller location? Probably should be. That early morning shot across the basin towards the moored yachts with the reflection was superb. So quiet and still with birds in background. Did you see any vessel go out or come in via the tidal basin? Any news on being to leave the Lancaster canal as yet? Regards. Paul.
When I opened the door it was like a mirror. Amazing sight Paul. Great place to moor up.
Will your bike if chain is slipping its your chain stretched and could be worn teeth on your rear cassette and jockey wheels.
I service my own bikes built a few too pity youre so far away i could help 😢
Those red spiders beware they bite for such a small spider 😮
Bike trail was lovely and flat make easy peddling for you.
Paint is looking well polished on your boat nice job elbow grease is a rare thing.
No boat washes on the cut like car washes on roads eh..
Will watch thecrest of your video now you've just unboxed your filter..
Kev the brinklow kayaker 😊
I thought my sprockets were worn kev. Thanks.
I didn't know those spiders could bite.
I don't see many of them.
Pretty nice cycle routes around here.
Take care bud. 👍
You stopped to assist a fellow biker very kind of you.
Nice bike. Did he give you the bike?
Next project 😮 nice...
I could do a motorbike I recon...
Make a change to push bikes😅
Have fun Will 👍 I'm off to do the washing up clean my dirty thumbs lol
All the best
Kev the brinklow kayaker
Is your son living on his boat would be nice to see you both sailing together
He's on his boat for now. Plans have changed, and he's getting another boat. Stay tuned. 👍
Great believer in what goes round, comes round. You should have a lot of good karma in your life Will.
Has the warning light gone off on Mr van.
That's what I believe.
My warning light is still on, but my van drives ok.
I'm getting it plugged in this week..
Thanks for asking.
Well will just when I thought that your vlogs could not get any better.
You come up with this stunner.. it's that good I had to watch it twice...
As for the r l n I .. sorry but the jury is out about this organisation for a good many people...
Over the years I have seen many life boats being used by people who are looking for a place to live..
However I for one would not like to fill the fuel tank on one of these boats.
Over the years only once did I visit glasson basin... the only reason was to help a friend who had blown the head gasket ..on his boat engine.
As you say it's a gorgeous place to spend a few days at..
But by what you described there is still a bit of a problem with the tenagers in the area..
Anyway will it's a massive filthy thumbs up mate.👍👍👍👍. Keep yourself safe and well mate.
Hello Wayne.
Thanks for watching it twice and not suffering any side effects. 😂
I really enjoyed this place, but because of water levels, it closes all the time, it's best to go down while the levels are up. While we were here, the locks closed twice.
See you on the flip side. 👍
@@NarrowboatWill
Will it makes me wonder why water levels are low in many canals especially after all the heavy rain we have had..
Perhaps I should explain why I have watched your videos more than once .
I am at the age where I have a tendency to forget things. Especially when it concerns my past. Life.
Over the last few months people have asked me what life was like living on a narrow boat... unfortunately I don't remember a great deal about it.
However when ever I view one of your videos most memories come flooding back to me..and I end up with a huge grin on my face.... today is a good day for me as I remembered to reply to you....
I have watched your videos from day one and have witnessed you take the good times and the bad times .with a smile on your face .???
I don't know what it is will but I can see myself in you .. taking life one step at a time. .I realised many years ago that if you allow anything to get you down
You will end up with severe anxiety and depression...
Even in the depth of winter I always made a point to visit someone who's boat was near by. .. people who live on a boat think that they are alone ..
I have always told them to take a good look outside Thier boat and then decide if they truly are. Alone..
Anyway will keep smiling mate .. and keep making your videos because one day you will have a record of your life travelling the canals and water ways of this country...
That you can turn to when people ask you about life on a narrow boat is like...
As always it's a massive filthy thumbs up for bringing so many memories back to me. And many other people.,👍👍👍👍.
👍😫
I totally agree. I suffer with C R S. Can't remember s..t. 😂 🤣
Have a good day buddy. 😊
Xx
Thanks ❤️
I will a very good vlog all for now
You're welcome Suzanne. 😊
That looks like a pretty old motorcycle. Maybe from the 70s. You don't see dual rear shocks on enduro bikes much anymore. I had a few in my youth. They all rode like a farm tractor, and were about as heavy too. 😂
That's correct. I think it's 70s- 80s. I need to check in my next vlog.
Stay tuned to see the outcome..
