Jo, the whole idea of lift bridges is to help motorists understand that life is better when its slowed down. You should aim to help as many as possible :)
I just watch your episode 001, and left a comment there... When we used to have a boat, my wife, daughter and I used to have a few weeks in the summer, taking the boat to Oslo, from Skien. All through one of our boats the first one, could do almost 30 knots, we almost never did more than 4 knots. It took us 3-4 days "cruising" one way to Oslo. These days, we are looking for a boat just like the first one we had, cause we could take that one a trailer, and have it at home when not using it!. Test testing testi... You're so funny! hahaha...
Hi there. Only found your youtube page a few weeks ago and want to say its really well put together. Catching up on your previous vlogs lol. So easy to watch. Keep up the good work 👍👍
I had to like this one because that's my home town. I'm pleased you found the food stalls in the wool market - there's an excellent falafel stall there as well.
We got to move in fits and starts... actually really liked Sheffield. I was quite enamored of the video game museum, as well as some amazing Ethiopian / Eritrean food! M
Hello, I've just found your channel and looking forward to the next video which should take you through Kilnhurst I hope, I was born there along time ago.
Hi there, and welcome! I believe Kilnhurst will be in the next video, indeed... we sort of rushed along, as when they finally let us through the river was very high still! M
Looked up Doncaster on Google Maps, the quick facts box gives it an interesting history and information. I was intrigued by the tall church tower, which it seems is the Minster Church of St. George. (hey the dog got his own chruch! LOL) Exhibits at the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery include a 1914 Cheswold car. Even the market sounds rather interesting. The You Tube Narrow boaters all need to start a campaign to get Google Maps to better identify the canals, such as when you search a name, it would show the canal over its length in yellow or such to make it easy to find. Yes, 360° "canal view" would be interesting.
We were stuck in this part of the navigation for nearly 5 mnths and having only set off towards leeds 7 days ago we are now stuck just past Castleford between river sections. We only lived aboard for 8 mnths it's been raining for six of them .WHERE'S SUMMER FOR GOD'S SAKE.
"and we meet a Christmas tree" is about as random as it gets, reminds me of when I met a dalek. Lovely vlog, just what would you do without George's expert supervision? Take care
Another nice video. BTW, imagine if you would have used a timelapse 360 degree camera on all of your travels, think of all that revenue you could have made from helping Google create Google Streets and Canals. LOL
I really enjoy your videos, however, you seem to be under a lot of stress lately. Isn't there someplace safe where conveniences are nearby and wait out the bad weather there? George is lovely, and so are you the two of you. Love from NW Michigan.
We had to make a lot of moves this fall and winter to beat some unfortunately placed stoppages... luckily things slowed down a bit right around the latest videos! M
yes its all perspective ,, through ignorance humanity learned a inquiring mind is needed to learn , So be persuasive with the lift bridges ,a subtle routine , a hat with a catch phrase just for the paused drivers , Soon all the canal boaters will have the same hat and it will be a movement , the news will cover it and everyone will know , maybe something like " Plan For a Breather lift Bridges allow a minute for a breather during the daily rushing commute
Yep still stuck, the Trent went briefly in the yellow and I got all excited but the next day it went back in the red it's so frustrating for everyone getting stuck but at least you and Phil are still putting out cruising vlogs who had become near possible for most of the vloggers lots of reviews and maintenance vlogs. Thanks take care you three. Alan.
@@Leonard_Smith Phil is Narrow boat Journeys, been doing this for years he is great too because like Jo and Michael he will point out the best moorings, boater facilities and shops etc which I always add to my Pearson's Guides as you never know when it could be a useful tip. These are the best two sites I reckon for that kind of information. Alan Cabin Cruiser Adventure.
We got slowed down a bit as well... the storms kept us in place, as did quite a few river sections. Actually just made it on to and off the Trent ourselves in the VERY brief time it wasn’t in flood... too much water hath fallen on this country this year! M
Just a thought on what seems to be the hot topic of our media, it seems to me that the requirement for self-isolation after a contact with COVID-19, or at least after arrival from a country affected by the need for self-isolation, would be an ideal time for navigating a canal. You are unlikely, other than shopping journeys, to be amongst a crowd of people and so long as you can look after yourselves for the required 14 days or so of isolation then you should be fine. I guess the negative aspects could be if you actuall;y came down with the virus how would you get the medical help you rquired? Oh well, here's hoping that your journeys keep you out of reach of this insidious disease and your days are spent happily cruising the cut - to coin a phrase. To get back to nicer topics, for those 5 or 6 weeks of enforced idleness, how did you keep George occupied and active as he is used to?
We’re discovering that yeah, the boat is automatically a kind of quarantine... it’s funny being nervous going out to shops, although for me the main nervousness is that I’m gonna have to blatter someone about the head for hoarding something silly. Sigh. We’re doing fine, we’re still cruising and we’re going to keep making videos for the duration. As for George, he gets at least three walkies a day, with extensive ball throwing... though that was a wee bit harder in Doncaster, due to lack of good park nearby. M
Another great video! Thanks we enjoyed watching it! Hope all is well there. Are you all stocked up on supplies? This C virus isn't something to take lightly. Another two days or so I will be set. I'll buy another big bag of Sadie's favorite dogfood and a couple extra boxes of treats and finish up stocking up the houses. Not sure how bad this virus is going to hit America, but I'm taking it seriously and making sure we're stocked for weeks in case the supply chain gets interrupted or fails. Hope all is well!
hope you are not stuck there for long..... not exactly the quiet rural location you have grown used to... what a difference 5 miles of canal makes. Are you sure that was a Christmas tree... you had just been eating Jamaican food had you not? 🥙+🥬+🌿=🎄

I’ll try and help her see that perspective! M
Nice to watch my yacht in Doncaster mooring. Thanks :-)
Another great vlog.....thanks for sharing
My mate had a mooring at Strawberry island. Had great fun all around this area! The boat was sold last year. Happy days!
Thank you both, great to see you enjoying some sunshine. Take care
“Some” is the operative word this winter! M

I’d love to do Oslo to Skien... dreams for the future! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! M

Ahh, wish we’d found the falafel stall! M
Strange to think you still had all the really , really bad weather still to come . Nice vid as always xxx
Heh, yeah, the stormy bits didn’t show up for a while! M
Thanks for posting. I love your new coat Jo.
Thanks for a great video guys :)
No worries.. M is waterproof😁
Just wanted to say thank you. 🤠
Thank you too! M
Hope you weren't stuck for too long looking forward to seeing what you make of Sheffield.
We got to move in fits and starts... actually really liked Sheffield. I was quite enamored of the video game museum, as well as some amazing Ethiopian / Eritrean food! M
Never heard of the place xx you are like foreign correspondents up there xxx stay safe out there
We’re trying, but it’s always a wee bit risky out here where the dragons be! M

I’ve tried to talk Google into lending us one of those crazy expensive cameras and paying us to do canal-view, but so far they’ve ignored me! M
Looking forward to your videos on Ciara, Dennis and Jorge!
They will be cool to see in June! LOL, just kidding guys, keep up the great work!
Hopefully they’ll show up sooner than that, though to be fair we didn’t shoot that much, too busy being sea sick! M
No good movement in that long of a time? You should add more roughage to your diet. :-) Quite enjoyed the adventure. Thanks again for sharing.
Gotta let the stoppages clear first! M
We were stuck in this part of the navigation for nearly 5 mnths and having only set off towards leeds 7 days ago we are now stuck just past Castleford between river sections. We only lived aboard for 8 mnths it's been raining for six of them .WHERE'S SUMMER FOR GOD'S SAKE.
It’s coming! We swear it is! M
Was that "Christmas Tree" two people in some sort of stacked configuration?
Hah, no, one person, quite sure of it! M
"and we meet a Christmas tree" is about as random as it gets, reminds me of when I met a dalek. Lovely vlog, just what would you do without George's expert supervision? Take care
We’d get totally lost, for one! M
Great to see some sunny weather again! George looked super happy on the towpath. Rain doesn’t seem to bother him?
Not as much as it does us! He mainly thinks it’s a nice drink coming from above! M
Minimal List Ha ha. My old lab used to love really torrential rain, he would run out into it.
Another nice video. BTW, imagine if you would have used a timelapse 360 degree camera on all of your travels, think of all that revenue you could have made from helping Google create Google Streets and Canals. LOL
Heh... we’re always open to them paying us to do it all again! M
George, are you Canadian? Sounds like you are from British Columbia..
Heh, that’s some of his daddy’s time at SFU rubbing off! M
I really enjoy your videos, however, you seem to be under a lot of stress lately. Isn't there someplace safe where conveniences are nearby and wait out the bad weather there? George is lovely, and so are you the two of you. Love from NW Michigan.

Those outtakes .... rofl.
So you're saying you haven't had movement in 6 weeks??
Heh. M
2:22 Just as well that George is not a Rat Terrier, if he was he'd soon have those lapel microphones off you!
Haha, quite possibly.
Saw the food vendor did goat curry. Like trying other foods.
Yep, he did some lovely-looking meat dishes... no longer my thing, but I remember it being well worth the try! M
Yep still stuck, the Trent went briefly in the yellow and I got all excited but the next day it went back in the red it's so frustrating for everyone getting stuck but at least you and Phil are still putting out cruising vlogs who had become near possible for most of the vloggers lots of reviews and maintenance vlogs.

Hang in there and maybe catch some more good food? My advice though, stay away from walking trees in months that don't end in R.
I try to avoid walking trees year round! M

@@MinimalList agreed!! Doesn't hurt to be ready just in case.
