Another beautiful cruise along the Nene! It's such a picturesque, almost idyllic river, and I'm so glad you chose to take us along on your journey! (That weed Martin plucked out of the weed hatch almost looked like skeins of yarn lying there on the concrete!)
Another nice one guys, as an engineer i loved that radial lock, Now Julie, that CRT machine you saw was a dredging barge, it clears the silt so that your boat will not beach, it will stir up the water and leave some floating weed, give it 24hours it will settle down, please please please, don't put the CRT guys down, many are volunteers who also love the canals, have a pop at management by all means, but the guys and the girls on the ground are doing their best, give them a bit of love ❤❤❤
Hi Nigel, thank you so much for your comment! OMG I do hope I didn’t diss the CRT, I never would 🥰 This was on the river Nene, it was the EA (Environment Agency) waters and at the time they were ‘apparently’ not permitting the weed boats to clear the weeds until they had run some sort of tests. This in turn made it quite difficult to navigate. I would never diss the CRT, I know they do a magnificent job, and being that most are volunteers is amazing. We loved our time on the river on summer and thank you so much for telling us what that machine was, it was huge! Thanks Nigel xx
Hi Guys, especially Julie, sorry iff I came about all wrong, I'm not on the canals ,but loving you and others on my journey to a boat, I (as a muppet) thought was CRT, canal and rivers trust,
Thanks for a great video and explaining the workings of the different locks, very useful to us land lubbers who dont know these things.Nice to see all the different ducks too.Take care.
Great moves at the locks, disco girls 😂 shame Martin didn't show his moves 😅 looks like the hard work continues, so much weed but lots of smiles and good times 😊 stay safe ❤
Good vlog guys. Only discovered your channel last week when I saw you were on the Nene. I live in Northamptonshire so that sparked my interest, anyway guys I am now a subscriber and look forward to joining you both on your journey. 😉
The previous owners were in the RAF, hence the roundel insignia on the top of the back hatch. We bought this chrome Spitfire as a nod to the previous owners for looking after the boat so well. Thanks! xx
If you would like to support our channel, you can buy us a coffee here,

Hi Chris, yes, that weed is just like yarn, it wraps around the propeller into a ball! The river is so beautiful, we loved it, thanks! xx 😘

Thank you for your lovely comment, it’s great seeing all the different types of locks. Those ducks were so sweet too. Thank you! xx
I think that "digger" is some sort of dredger. It reminds me of dredgers I saw as a child (a long time ago!).
Hi Ruth, yes, looks like it could be. Thank you! xx
What a fab cruise. All the rubbish in the weed hatch 😮. Looking forward to a catch up when we can all get together ❤️
Aww that would be lovely, hope we can get together soon xx

Haha yes, seems a few others have joined us and Heidi! 🤷♀️😂🤣 xx
We may think about changing to another slot lol 😂
Perhaps that strange machine was some kind of dredger???
Yes could’ve been, it was certainly an odd looking thing lol. Thanks Julie xx
Xx
Thanks Edward! xx
Hello and thanks ! What is the significance of the silver plane mounted on the roof of your boat? Just curious....
The previous owners were in the RAF, hence the roundel insignia on the top of the back hatch. We bought this chrome Spitfire as a nod to the previous owners for looking after the boat so well. Thanks! xx
