What a great video. Your commentary, added written commentary the drama on the river, the scenery as your boat goes by and the perfect visual ending with the train. Now the only way you can top this in your next video is if you are so pissed you fall into the river on the way back from the pub. d:}.
Well it breaks my heart to disappoint you Mr C, but no-one fell into the river that day! The problem that a group of boats have there is that you can't securely moor in that spot for long. That's because (apart from that red boat I was next to) there is only one proper mooring spot, and even that has only one mooring ring and no armco. So we knew sitting in the pub garden that since we couldn't get through to Froghall, we would have make a four hour cruise and 6 locks to get back on the canal, and reach somewhere near our starting point that morning. But for the next few weeks that will be the last of the footage from the winter cruises. In an attempt to try to stop falling viewer numbers, I'm going to focus on more recent footage for a few weeks, and every 6-8 weeks I'll go back and edit a video from the winter.
Thanks very much for your kind comment Ms B, and I actually returned the favour for Di. A couple of weeks after this we tried to get through to Froghall again, and I got some video of Di's boat with the steam train in the background. As a heads up, I'm going to post a video of the Harecastle tunnel as it is a place of general interest (and it didnt go well), and then I'll be moving on to more recent video footage, which is what a good few viewers have said they prefer.

Very sadly no-one fell in- although the jack russell Maggie did go for a swim in pursuit of some ducks!
That was great, what an adventure 😅 Di's pic of your boat and the stream train is really lovely - worth framing 😃

@@theamateurboater5892 sounds good 🙂
Thanks ♥️
I think this would have been a far better video if you and Dave had ended up in the river! 🤣
That was a fab day ❤
Of course the catch phrase for was rest of the trip was 'give it some welly' 😂
Yes, and it was me who was being accused of not giving it enough welly!
