Hi Rob, yes we generally found the same. In Donjeux, Orconte and other small towns and villages we so much help from friendly faces whereas in Lyon I had a fishing rod and reel stolen from the boat. And much preferred Arles to Lyon anyway.

Je suis totalement d'accord ! Je veux être un chat ! 🤣🐈‍⬛️

Salut Martine, oui on l'a fait. On en parle encore. On dit à tout le monde à quel point c'était sympa ! 🤩

We don't go anywhere without Dreamies lol

Thanks so much Jo, we are doing our best. Glad you enjoy our videos 🥰😘

Jestesmy naprawde bardzo mile, pozytywnie zaskoczeni. Pozdrawiamy serdecznie 😊

The hospitality here has been amazing, we have been so fortunate. The people are amazing. The engine is actually new, at the time of the bracket snapping it was under 200 hours of use. At first I thought it could be due to too much pressure in one single mount but when I looked at the weld 🙄

Dzieki bardzo 😊 nie czesto sie zdarza, ze mozna wplynac w sluze w nocy, dlatego cieszymy sie, ze udalo nam sie to nagrac i pokazac 😊 pozdrawiamy 🤩

Thank you very much! Hopefully you will enjoy the next episodes too! 😁 thanks for watching 👀

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks again!

Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes our plan was to stay put in the weed for the night but as soon as the bridge went up the engineers advised us to go through just in case it trips out again when it goes down. But once through we found a good spot and tied up relieved lol

Hi Simon, we did have to extend our Vignette and buy another month online. That was kindly printed out by the wonderful Lizzy in the previous episode. We did originally believe we would complete the trip in 4 weeks.

Hi Rod, it was such a relief to get through the lock, we thought we were there for the night. That was the only time the weed had a positive effect on the boat.

Hi Harvey, nice to hear from you again. 😊 Fortunately once the lock gates opened everything happens quickly and before you realise, you've tied up. The worst was when we went into a tunnel in daylight, but the amount of weed slowed us down so much we came out in the dark and had to find somewhere to stop for the night. That was quite eerie.

You two just wow me so carm and very professional very much enjoying your videos take care x

Thanks so much Jo! Yes, I really like that bit too as you can also see the boat movements in the lock! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁🤩 xx

Thank you Bob! Calm and professional? We will take that! 😅🤣 hope you will enjoy the next episode too! 😊 xx

A twin keeled boat is not the best for weedy conditions, at one point when we reversed there were like two bails of hay came up 😲. The worst lock was one that had to be operated manually and the engineer thought he'd have a bit of fun with us and let the water in as fast as he could, we ended up on our backs, feet prized against the lock wall trying to hold the boat steady 😅

You have to keep a close eye on engineers Lee. They’re tricky like that. lol

@@paulinadabrowska-r1f czesc Paula, dzieki bardzo za komentarz, bardzo nam milo. Buziaki 😘

@gooddeedssailing 😘😘😘😘

Thanks for the comment, so glad your enjoying the canals.

@@joannestrange4777 thanks Jo, yes, we are having an amazing time here, so many nice surprises nearly every day. 😊 we will treasure that picture forever! ❤️

Yes especially out of season, this time of year seems to be mostly weed clearing duties.

@@gooddeedssailingdo you feel like your being awkward 😂

@GraemeBreiner haha, yes, especially when we got stuck in the lock because we were exploring an abandoned house 😅 🤣

Nous avons créé de beaux souvenirs que nous chérirons pour toujours. et bien sûr de nouveaux amis !! ❤

Yes we are, we are lock masters now 😀 🙌

Not the stew we are used too lol

Yes we are, some nice people 😀

Really getting into it now

Thank you, should be up this week 👆

Just a bit too much of it

That's a great idea 💡

Captain PJ?

little hat?

Hi Will, we don't rush lol we have a few options in the Med, we need to decide between Gibraltar then Morocco or Corsica. Sardinia and onto Tunisia. Some great episodes coming up 😀

@ Corsica gets my vote! I was there last autumn in Bonifacio. It’s just fantastic! Looks like amazing sailing territory.

It was awesome 👌

my thoughts exactly!! 😍

Je crois qu'ils l'ont adorés 😊

I agree it was amazing

they were super yummy! :D

will do! thank you 🙂🥰

Thanks again for the comment. We are loving it lol Yep Lock Stew, we couldn't get enough of it 😅😅

@@atschris hi great question, fortunately when we fitted our new engine we fitted the water scoop back to front so it would allow any weed to go past it. It seems to have worked as we know of other boats that did overheat. The water scoop may have been shown in a previous episode if any help. We only suffered from weed building up around our 2 keels, whereas a fin keelers may have picked up less weed. Thanks again for your comment.

​@@gooddeedssailing Lol fin keelers tend to ground out more often which is more awkward than just blowing weeds off your shorter twin keels.. but glad to see you are making friends on your way ... The little girl will remember for a long time her first trip on a boat down her canal.. hopefully they will get to travel that way themselves one day.🫶🏻 🧙🏼‍♂️🇬🇧.

Hi Nigel, the temperature is certainly dropping. As for the diesel heater.. .yes and no. We have an Erberspascher diesel heater that has packed up. We are considering ordering a cheaper copy from China to replace it. Hope its not too damp where you are.

Thanks for the comment Richard. 👍 glad your enjoying our videos and we will try to get another out this week 😀 Maybe you'll have snow for Christmas at least 😉

Thanks Bob, hope you and Karen are both well. We here it's a bit gloomy over there. Any new neighbours yer? Thanks for the comment it really helps our channel. We will try to get another episode out this week.👍

Hi, thank you very much, will defo check it out! 😁

You should you'll love it 😀

Great comment, 👍 thanks for the detailed information. We did manage to see Langres, amazing place and did a shop at the Intermachè. Loving France 🇫🇷 ❤️

@@gooddeedssailing I was based in St Jean de Losne 2006-2021 and having done all the 'circle' routes settled for alternating between Langres and North one year and C du Centre towards the Loire the next. Many fabulous experiences. Strongly reommend Blanquart at St Jean for work and storage. Transparently honest. Bon voyage.

@Kit_Marron thank you 😊

@lisoladiuilson2039 omg! Hi! We are planning to go to Sardinia in few weeks! 😁

@gooddeedssailing good! you are welcome...(Marco is my brother)

@lisoladiuilson2039 oh, fantastic! I guess we will meet you soon! 😁 welcome aboard! ⛵️

Thanks Gert, that lock was a bit of a shambles, even the intercom wasn't working. 😳 There's even better to come in future episodes lol

@@gooddeedssailing OK. Locking (no typingerror) forward to that. In Holland we have a saying : "Doen met de Franse slag". In English: "Do it the French way". In Dutch it means sth like doing things halfway, doing things improperly, doing things in a way that will not last very long. Etc.

@gertboerman3666 not going to say what it means in English 😂

Hi Doc, it was a great day. We were invited by Adrian of Sailing Sibongile, who like yourself is doing such great work. Also just to rub it in, we still have two of Skeleton Crews fuel cans that Adrian donated to us 😉😊

@@gooddeedssailing oh I know Adrian. He threatened to throw me off his boat for using the pronunciations "mains'll" and "heads'll" 🤣🤣🤣

Believe me, you don't 😂😂
