Ha 😊 you can't beat a bit of bow and stern thrusters... That boat didn't look to be using em , if they were they were also in reverse lol ..... I like to uses em especially when its busy ... parallel mooring and leaving your mooring is great in tight spots ... Or with limited crew 😊
the big boats they all have an airdraft of about 8 ft 6" give or take (they over estimate the same way the bridge water depth markers underestimate). I went under Ludham a few times last week with a commander and if I had believed the markers, I wouldn't have attempted it espcially when it was raining heavily.
It makes me nervous when I see people on the front of boats, one sudden jolt and they are in the water if they are unlucky. Watching your videos is sometimes like watching 'spot the accident about to happen' or a health and safety video on how many potential accidents can you spot! I bet you must think the same whilst you are editing! I too was admiring the wooden cruiser as it went past and I bet it looked even better from your position. I am really enjoying your commentary as to what is going on plus I'm pleased your subscriber numbers are increasing.
Thank you SW! I appreciate that. Yes it can get very stressful watching things unfold there, today there were a couple of incidents that made me truly worry, you’ll see that next week!
@@philambrose5866 I'm here in the us don't know how all the boat classifications are. I knew when I type the message that they were narrow boats but I don't know what they call those kind of boats?
@@danielsplayhouse3804 soz didn't realise you were across the pond. Narrow boats are no wider than 6ft 10 inches wide and are usually found on our canal system , there are some wider boats upto 10 or 12 ft wide but the width of them restricts their cruising abilities The boats on the Broads are known as cruisers and measure upto 13ft. and can be found on many of our rivers as well as the Broads I and my wife spent 10 years living and cruising aboard a 13ft X 40ft cruiser and then sold up and bought a 60ft narrow boat for a further 10 years. I preferred the narrow boat in every respect but it did demand a higher level of boatmanship. Hope the above explains something about British waterways. Regards, Phil

Yep John, I can handle a boat with no bowthruster but it makes sooo much difference with one, especially when crew member is not so active!

I'm hoping to be there next week so I may come and watch the comings and goings at the bridge before adjourning to the Dog for a pint or two ! 🍺🍺

When you see people holding boat hooks, you know the helm has no seamanship nor boat handling skills.
I've watched this vid but where's the bridge strike?
At 15:54 in.
Sorry didnt catch what you said ' you have hired many boats and you have never had a ............ Must be my ears. 6.24
I’ve never used a bow thruster. I thought that sounded a bit too!
@@jonnytreehouse Thank you - sorry but it is my hearing I am sure. Thank you once again for the video. I keep looking out for Aqua Emblem have you ever seen her?
I probably have but not realised, I’ll keep an eye out for her.
