I really like your voiceover commentary! You were much more relaxed and I learned more!! It makes a really enjoyable video.
Thank you. We were really pleased with how it turned out, especially because we lost a lot of audio from the clips and so were forced to adapt. So glad you liked it.
Agreed, if I'd have had teacher's like Michael I might actually have listened and learnt something!🤣🤣🤣
I'm just commenting to emphasize what @EmmaCraib said. The voice over the video of the crossing really helped and made the video even more informative and entertaining
@@Stuart-er8qz What a lovely thing to say. I enjoy listening to him too. (in moderation) Thank you.
@@gordonchapman222 Thank you so much
One of your best vlogs. The commentary without music really made it.
Thank you. Im so glad you enjoyed it. We actually really enjoyed recording the commentary too. Gald it worked out.
Like others, I liked the narration without music. More of a story time and you reliving it, which was a nice touch. Can't deny that I am a bit jealous ;-)
It was a great trip. And thanks for the feedback on the voice over.
there's two things, 1-initial stability and 2-secondary stability. flat bottom boats are all about initial stability, secondary stability only happens to a flat bottom boat is when it's updside down. smart to sail into a wave, going down wind is surfing. what a great sky in this vid. thanks.
Yes always steer into a wake. luckily there was only really one wave on the whole trip!
Oof! Voice-over definitely works. Loved this. Thank you. Now I feel inspired and confident to do the Wisbech to Boston route. Welcome back & thank you. ❤
Yay, we can't recommend this trip and Daryl the pilot highly enough. You should definitely do it!
Really enjoyed that thank you. Of course the next crossing will have to be at night !!
Hmm, will have to see about that
It was amazing to see and speak to Michael in Boston yesterday. I had a walk down the river bank today to see Perseverance in person :)
He was happy to meet you too. Thanks for stopping him to say hello.
omg guy’s amazing!! 🤩 ❤ loved it and the explanations! very helpful
Thank you! I'm sure it is already on your to-do list but we honestly cannot recommend it more! The most wonderful trip.
@@MinimalList we definitely can’t wait!! On the bucket list for sure 🤩 Wes keeps saying he will save it til the end just incase haha
@@BoatTime Oh Wes! I get it though.
What a wonderful video. Well done both and George.
Thank you so much!
Lovely vlog - Michael looked like a super hero carrying George across to the sand 😂😂🥰
Thank you. George is a great swimmer but a bit scared when he can't work out how he will get out of the water.
Great video! Life is good when you spend your time making your dog happy. A happy dog is the best role model on how to live.
Dogs are good. They deserve to be happy.
A really great video I thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to travel from Stanground into the Wash regularly in the early 1970s. One of my neighbours had a seagoing yacht moored at the end of their garden and we went in that. Of course we never went out when there was no wind and the sea was dead calm like when you went. Those conditions may be perfect for a narrow boat but not so for one with sails! That new style of video is much better, do more of them.
Yes, it would be rather slow going wouldn't it.
Very nice. Transit lines are rather neat!
Thank you. I find them fascinating.
I like the combination of live video and voice-over commentary on this video. This was a wonderful journey! And George is sooooo. Happy!!!!! Wonderful video!!
Thank you. It wasn't planned that way but some of our audio corrupted. It seemed to work out well.
Loving your voice overs. Thanks for doing The Wash for the second time, from a different entry point.
Thanks for watching.
Loved the vlog We live in Holbeach which is only up the road from Sutton bridge and the Wash .Was lovely to see the Wash from a different perspective
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, and what a wonderful place to live.
It's lovely to see you both. That was a wonderful cruise. The reflective commentary worked well, but I'm guessing extra editing is involved. I'm glad you didn't say where you are heading next. It'll be interesting to find out!
A little bit of extra editing but not too bad. Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you both and Daryl, so interesting to a narrowboat in an unusual situation. Really enjoyed the voice over chat. I think the cargo being unloaded is fertiliser for farm use. Take care.
Thank you. Yes it was great to have Daryl aboard again. You could be right about the fertiliser.
That looks brilliant. I was on the river lea and stort. Not quite as spacious 😂
Ha, yes a few more boats there.
Awesome video I remember when you did the wash the last time. George looked like he was having so much fun! Stay safe!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
George really loved it so much. In fact we are going to take him to the beach again tomorrow so he can have another run in the sea.
1. I'm so now trying kimchi with some sushi ginger. Also I may actually try making it myself, I really liked all the veggies you stick in yours.
2. Glad you left in the sideways shot of George.
3. Like the commentary style that you did for this one. I'm liking the variation on the videos.
Yes, the commentary worked really well in the end. I will have to try and do more of those. Let us know what you think of the kimchi/ginger combo. I am bias but I think all shots of George are good.
This is a truly excellent vlog. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy the videos.
Was interesting to hear that Michael has quite possibly watched my dad working! He worked at Vancouver Wharves, which are the Sulphur piles under Lions gate. Spent the better part of my first 30 years in North Vancouver. Now a long-term time Vancouver Island resident.
Cheers
Might well have seen him, albeit from quite a distance (I was usually on the south side, often on rollerblades going around Stanley Park’s Sea Wall). Always liked the Island, but never got to live there. M
Wow just loved this journey thanks…the swing bridge in Boston is used weekly for Steel trains.
Thank you. Ah, thanks. We didn't know that although we did cross the line that leads to the dock today.
As others have said, the voiceover mode makes a nice change. A little more reflective perhaps? Anyway we found it very interesting and informative. Well done! P & J. 🇳🇿
Thank you. So glad the voice over worked. We might have to learn not to talk over each other so much though.
That was fascinating! Thank you both...and Darryl. I enjoyed the commentary. The commentary combined with the real time audio works really well.
Thank you so much. Im glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video we will definitely do this crossing one day you made it look more possible than I had thought. X
Very possible, very safe. You just need the right weather and Daryl!
@@MinimalList how do we get in contact with Daryl and can I be a little presumptuous and ask how much he costs ?
@@SueHall-mf7bn It's probably best if we let Daryl give you the price because it depends on the route and how many boats are travelling. His number is 07909880071 and his email is washguide@gmail.com
@@MinimalList thank I will store this for when we hope to do it x
Awe Bless George! 🙏🤓 Hes such a good boy.Im so happy you guys love him so well...This was a nice cruise I think i could enjoy the wash..As long as im not the pilot....😲. Very nice .Looking forward to more vlogs! Thank you! 🤓
It was nice to be able to hand over some of the responsibility to Daryl
The last time you travelled across the wash your video blew me away, done it again guys !!!
Take care 😀
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it.
What a lovely relaxing vlog. Listening to you chat as we drifted down the river was lovely x
Thank you
Probably the best crossing of the Wash I've seen, Take George for a drink in Goodbarns Yard in Boston he'll love it, take care 😊
Oh wow, that is really kind of you to say! Thank you.
From near where you were moored in Wisbech there used to be a canal that joined to the bend at Outwell. The Wisbech end is now under the dual carriageway.
There are so many lost canals that I've never heard of. That certainly would have saved us some time travelling from Denver to Wisbech. Thanks for the info.
Enjoyed your vlog very much. Actually brought back a lot of very happy memories for me. My wife and I followed all your adventures up until they started to tail off. You see my wife died last Oct abd I havnt watched any of the different canal vlogs that we used to watch together. I still subscribe to them but havnt watched them, until tonight. So your trip back over the Wash was very poingnant for me.
Thank you for sharing - Joan would have loved it too I am sure of that. Steve
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard these last months have been for you. We feel very honoured that this was the first can video that you watched since you lost Joan. It was a really magical trip for us. Thank you for coming along for the ride.
Thank you for such a lovely vlog, I'm now thoroughly chillaxed. Loved seeing George so excited on the sands, animals enjoy themselves so much more than us humans. Now looking forward to the next adventure. Take care you three.
Thanks Maggie, glad you enjoyed it. I was a bit worried when we lost some of the audio but I think it turned out ok.
The talk over is brilliant. The Pregol Hav [11m] is a general cargo built in 1985 and sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. You can see where ships are now sailing on the vessel finder website.
So interesting - thank you.
Great vlog nice to see the dog having fun you was so lucky with the weather hope you put the full vlog off this like the rest you do I love watching them takes a couple off days but it feels like I'm doing it so relaxing thanks for the short and long vlogs
Yes, I have had to split the trip into three as it was over 8 hours long but they will be up in a few days time on Minimal List Maximal Velocity and More. Glad you enjoy them.
What a great how many hours was it 😊 enjoyed the calmness of the wash, the clouds, and the voice over was really interesting. We got heaps of interesting information. Well done guys…. 😍🙏
Wonderful. We're so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
You were all much more relaxed than the first time :)
That is very true. Probably because the water was so much flatter.
A very enjoyable episode indeed! It's great to see you back guys.
Thank you so much!
Good evening. That was a very good vlog crossing the Wash and having gone the Nene route via Wisbech which one doesn't often see. Very informative. It was incredibly serene looking on tbe Wash with the low level shots blurring sea and sky into one. I imagine it could be quite disorienting in a light mist in those conditions being unable to focus on anything nearby. Might be rambling there!😂. George was clearly happy on the sands and really quite funny to watch. Good to see more videos of your travels now they have resumed. All the best. Paul.
Thank you. It was so good to have Daryl a long. Sometimes the buoys were really hard to spot and not much more than a dot on the horizon.
The sea, horizon and skyline was beautiful. Such a relaxing video, you made well of your technical glitch and created a wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. This video took me back to relaxing through the chaos of the Covid lockdowns, so peaceful. Just lovely
Thank you so much.We were rather pleased with how it turned out. we're glad everyone seems to be enjoying it too!
It’s lovely to see you going to sea from the middle river,not the great Ouse 👍🏻😃
It was a great trip.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video,and I have been looking forward to"Wash Crossing 2"😀
Thank you. Its good to hear you enjoyed it. We really enjoyed the trip.
Really great video, commentary is brilliant, only sorry we missed you at Boston.
Thank you. So happy you enjoyed the commentary.
The reaction voice-over was very informative 👍 great idea, wouldn't have been as interesting without it.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, that was fun.
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful this❤
Thank you.
My sister used live right on junction between Witham and Slea in a converted Chapel at Chapel Hill (Hill it is only a foot or so higher !!)
Oh yes, we passed Chapel Hill yesterday. Such a lovely part of the River
So disappointed I missed you doing this. I missed you when you came from Boston to Kings Lynn and I really wanted to see you on the Nene because I live so close to Crosskeys Bridge, Sutton Bridge.
Im so sorry we missed you too. There is talk of a third crossing at some point.
@@MinimalList Hopefully I will get to find out about it. It's very rare that a narrowboat goes through the bridge and I would love to get photographs. It looked like the most serene journey across the Wash. This video was absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing it.
It was a great commentary, though at first I was dumb and tried to listen to the 'radio' in the background that sounded like you!😃... then i realised I'd missed your comment on this. great video as always, and your new commentary from both of you was so clear - like having headphones in.
haha, wonderful. So glad you enjoyed it.Thank you
Goodvid cranking it on cut thanks lee
Thanks Lee
Cindy and I want to add to the Paint Perseverance fund. John In Idaho
Oh wow, thank you so much John & Cindy. That is really kind of you.
Great video, what an adventure. Prob good to remove Georges jacket when hes running about,.. thay can get very hot.
Much less adventurous than I thought it would be but great fun all the same.
Wow loved that ty.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi. U 2. Boston deeps and inner and outer dousing are not to be messed with. The wash has a cyclone effect that travels from the Norfolk coast thru to Boston right up to Skegness. Lot of local fisherman with blue water boats would like to supplement their income with offering trips out there. Be good content to have these lads talking about things and supporting local economy.
Lovely! Did you ever mention the possibility of taking the narrowboat across the Channel?...
It is possible. It has been done before. I don't think we will be risking our home anytime soon though.
This was a lovely video and the unplanned commentary worked well. I cycled into Boston from the Water Railway last month so some of the territory is familiar, albeit from a very different angle.
Boston seems to have lots of gorgeous historic buildings that don't seem to serve a purpose now.
Did you know that Fydell House in Boston has a room specifically for the use of visiting Americans?
If you're still in the area you could consider a detour to Sleaford (a short train ride but alas not possible by boat as you've previously discovered) to see the Navigation House, now a little museum dedicated to the history of the navigation.
ah, I knew there was a path along there but I didn't know the history or that it was called The Water Railway. We didn't know about Fydell House, is it worth a visit? The museum sounds interesting although I'm not sure well have time before we leave Boston now. Thanks for the info and suggestions.
@@MinimalList the Water Railway is a path from Boston to Lincoln that follows quiet roads and the route of a disused railway. I think I first heard it mentioned in one of your videos! Fydell House is a historic house near the Guildhall. I have to confess that I've passed it many times but have never been inside. The presence of the American Room is just something random that I recalled. There are links between the two Bostons and even an organisation called the Partnership of Historic Bostons.
Charge of the sand brigade. Lol
Full steam ahead.
Thundering Fart Annie? Didn't know you knew the Mother in Law!😮ATB👍👍👍
I watch Spence at BC Lighthouse Keeper on You Tube and it is interesting to see his daily routine.Spence started as an assistant lighthouse keeper . The Lighthouse Keepers do not actually live in the lighthouse.
With automation it is not uncommon for them to be converted to other uses.Often the light remains operational and under control of the coastguard and other authorities including historical preservation societies.
Yes there are unique difficulties restoring lighthouses mainly because of their isolation.
I haven't heard of that channel, its always fascinating to see how other people live. I would think the best part of being a lighthouse keeper would be living at the lighthouse so it's disappointing to hear that he doesn't get to do that. Will have to give the channel a watch. Thanks!
@MinimalList The house he now lives in is big enough for a family and he is a single man so plenty of space for visiting keepers or contractors.
He gets to climb the lighthouse often as part of his daily routine.
I like to watch lots of channels about different homes from buses and trucks to ambulances and horse lorries etc.
You're lucky you could get out of Wisbech if you follow the local news about a month ago a bulk carrier did the Evergiven trick it did on the Suez Canal to that bit of River between Wisbech and Sutton Bridge. Luckily the next tide refloated the ship.
Oh yes, we did see that, what a nightmare. We timed it well though.
Thanks!
Thank you so much tony.
Fabulous
Thank you.
Hi guys, very familiar territory for me. The ship was discharged bagged cement.. Peter Scott, son of Scott of the Antarctic founded the WWF not the wrestling federation... The Book/Movie "Snow Goose" was all about the life and times of Scott. Squeezing a 3000ton vessel with a draft of 5m or more is a bit squeaky bum time...
Xx
Hey, Perseverance! It's been quite a while since we last caught up. I've been watching the latest vlogs and I really enjoyed the extra commentary in the video. Both of you seemed a bit more at ease this time on The Wash 2.0. George is 13 did he get a birthday party?!
He got some extra treats but you couldn't really call it a party. Glad you are enjoying the new vlogs. The commentary worked out well on the Wash Crossing considering we didn't plan to do it that way.
@@MinimalList it was a great surprise!
I was wondering about stability on the sea with a canal boat. No centerboard or lea boards would scare me having been a yachtsman for many years. I would fit a proa type out riggger. Or an old single Hobi cat hull.
You definitely don’t want to take a narrowboat out on anything but a quite calm see… that said they’re bloody heavy things and there’s a lot of ballast down low, so they’re not as wobbly as you might imagine either. M
Bilge Keels..Boat Stands Up.
I still think they look like feet.
Afaik That bridge is still swung from Boston Port, maybe once a week on a friday afternoon or less often. I was told it brings metal from the port and follows the track across the A16 spalding to Boston road where there is an aggregate yard. One of the big engines stops in a siding and takes the trucks from the dockyard diesel.
I have a video somewhere online of the dockyard train crossing the Bridge. I also watched other people's videos when the dockyard itself was covered in tracks
Here is my video I didn't realise was from 2021 ruclips.net/video/GVpmh8HPl3U/видео.htmlsi=VC1oXvtIMau71qnJ
This video below which is a year old, is by GBRF and doesn't cross the bridge

What day did you do this transit of the Wash ? I remember seeing a Narrowboat like yours on the Sandbank as we flew over the Wash in our light aircraft .
Saturday 20th July
@@MinimalList Ah , yes it was you ! We passed over about 13:40 hrs en route from North Coates airfield to our base near Eastbourne . Enjoyed the video and lots of your many others !
@@cirrusvfr ah, how wonderful!

And lighthouse dweller! thats quite the life.
Good on the two of you people! I'm a first-time viewer. Looks like you're enjoying life! I'm not aware that there are a lot of Americans living in the UK married to Brits but that's great I'm happy to hear it! It's just not something you see online. I see it the other way around here in the US. If you haven't watched it you should. I love Guy Martin and purchased and read all of his books. He has an episode on one of his shows where he and his close friend repair a long boat and live on it. If you haven't seen it you're missing out. Bless both of you!!! I have placed suspect Daryl could be Canadian but I am just getting into your channel. Let me know if he is. It's not a bad thing FYI but just curious.😅.
Hi, welcome abroad! Michael is actually half American and half Canadian and as far as I know Daryl is British born and bread. We have watched Guy Martins series on the boat called Reckless. Very interesting.
That doughnut thing is crazy
Yeah, it was interesting to find out what it actually was.
@@MinimalList a failure for one thing lol
It’s lovely to see you going to sea from the middle river,not the great Ouse 👍🏻😃
Thanks, we enjoyed the different perspective.
