  • 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. ❤️ 💓 💗 💛

    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.

    • @NarrowboatWill
      @NarrowboatWill  3 месяца назад +1

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.

    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..

      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.

      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...
