Lovely little video. We did the same stretch of canal in June this year, except we set off from a different wharf. Ironically, our barge was identical to yours, but ours was red. I video'd the whole adventure, but not yet made it into a film as I've been too busy. We are going on a barge day trip this Saturday from Penkridge to Wolverhampton, then back to the same canal as in your video in May next year. We will then be purchasing a barge as it's been a lifelong dream of mine. When on the canal, you are forced to relax, especially when driving because it takes 100% of your concentration, and there is no time to think of anything else. The best therapy one can have. I'm glad to see that Robbie Cummings now has his own TV programme.

Nice Alan Partridge impression! 🤣 At least there were no angry farmers about. Love this lifestyle, I can only dream.

Thank God good opening comments

I actually enjoyed learning how to install composite loo very informative thanks , one question does the toilet loo roll go into the same bucket as the stool

Like the pragmatic approach

Hi could you tell me who fitted your window as mine leak thank you

great video, love your dog, the expressions on his face

great video. love the dog

The Llangollen canal, transports water from the Horseshoe falls down to Hurleston Resevoir. That’s the reason it takes longer to get to Llangollen than to return. A Welsh Oggie contains Leeks, were a pastie doesnt.

You went right by my house at the end of my garden in Burringham. We're lucky, we've had the bank strengthened and raised.

Nice boat. I first came to your DIY channel after cruising the cut posted something. I hadn’t realised you’d bought a narrowboat too. Funny to see Foxes afloat on your TV! Thanks for sharing

Some good info. Thanks

I thought I'd seen this before , perhaps I haven't , very good anyway 🙂👍😊

I would put the house on stilts with that flooding

How am I only just realising you have another channel lol loved this ..😍 Lincolnshire looks beautiful 😍 so can you search Flood zones in an area ? That's so interesting .. I look forward to seeing Lincoln I've heard it's a beautiful city 😍😍

As an American, I would love a house on the Trent. Sounds like a lovely place to land. But, I know nothing of it other than what I've seen in other narrow boating videos on TH-cam.

Let me know if your around Leicester on the grand union canal at any time.ill buy you both a pint in the navigation pub..happy boating mate.🦆

Mate you need a butty boat, go round as a mobile joiner .great video

I am from Lincoln & still live here. My parents had a narrowboat & moored it at Lincoln. I have been on The Trent many times to get on to the canal network. One day I would love to live on a narrowboat!

Passed my house ! 😎

I saw the thumbnail, read the caption as can you cook an egg on a hot narrowboater.

You just set a timer on my Alexa

Don't bite your husband.

I bet hans isn't very happy with this weather and interesting short lol

Do you use river water or stored water for shower?

My class cooked 3 gets on my teachers car today one on the dashboard one on the bonnet and one on the roof and they all cooked

Rivers were the first highways

Fancy trying yourself tomorrow when it's even hotter? Feel free to tag me in a video and I'll put a playlist together for fun!

This is a very helpful vlog. All your vlogs are interesting and very helpful to the narrow boat crowd, toilets and windows are always a challenge. Anyway, I do think your vlogs are worthy, and would like to see more, you were starting to get really good at it, thats why I'm trying to offer encouragement, any way, hope to see you soon, take care.

Hello, you should be out of the marina and cruising the cut and posting lot's of lovely vlogs showing us your world. Stay safe and take care.

Hi Vikkie, did we crash at the start. Just asking, I've got this bruise on my shoulder, and can't remember what happened? Am definitely enjoying these vlogs you give us. Thanks, and take care.

You do look a little scary with that hammer in your mit. These wide rivers, reminded me Ozark, with the casino on the river boat, but that was on a lake, and in the states somewhere, but , still reminded me. Really enjoying your vlogs. Do take care. (and dont forget your seatbelt)

Crikey, did you see that, that bugger pushed your boat into the side of the lock, and managed to get the jump on us. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole race, but we passed the barstard in the end. That was exciting. Hey, thanks Vikkie, take care.

You should have issued sick bags, considering the dizzying speeds we were traveling at. But all was well in the end, and I had a good story to tell my mates down the rubberty dub. Thanks Vikkie, happy to put my life in your hands, take care.

Excellent driving skills. You were going about 100mph and didn't crash into anything. Well you might have trimmed any accident footage out, but I do suspect you do have excellent driving skills. Take care, and see you soon.

You definitely have the skills, and talked us through the whole operation, and came out the other end with all your fingers and toes. Excellent vlog. Thanks Vikkie, take care.

Hi Vikkie, missing your vlogs. Hopefully you're just spending winter with your Dad. It's Spring in a week or two, so I've got my fingers crossed that you're back making my boring life a whole lot better. We're just going into Autumn here in NZ so starting to organize firewood for the winter. I do enjoy your vlogs and you were just getting really good at it. Take care, and hoping to see you soon.

Thank you for the extra detail about wiring up the Compoost. Your tip about silicon lube for the plastic drain pipe into the filter's rubber seal is amazing - we struggled and struggled to get that in! We've chosen to fully compost our solid contributions for growing flowers in roof boxes.

It does remind me of Simon Geirtz's houseboat stuck toilet experience. th-cam.com/video/9nW5g8tjazg/w-d-xo.html

We've been considering the purchase of a Compoost unit. This has confirmed to us that it is the way to go for River Boat Lady Jade, River Port Goolwa, South Australia.

Aloha

I usually end up fitting better electrical connections and cabling on equipment where i can. A lot are only just adequate for the job

Nice perfect timing looking for something to watch and always love you videos! I love the content always. Much love and thanks for all you do x

do you call your husband CASPER THE FRIENDLY GOST HUSBAN HA HA FRANCIS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POND

Nice tour of your boat lovely, i wish i went for the reverse layout now. Look forward to your changes 😊

wow you got into selby lock as if it was a piece of cake, well done.

Where did you get your wheel fenders from? and are you happy with your lithium set-up, i am going to get one of those mozzie traps after seeing your vlog which i really enjoyed.

I thought you are a carpenter's daughter. But well done anyway. Much love from a carpenter in America.

How did you like my store? LOL
