Hi Phil I lost a good friend recently. So I've just not been very social...but I'm here.. You know I just don't expect perfection from any of you boaters...I enjoy your vlogs as they are..People just do not realize the difficulties you face and overcome with every single one of them... Your boat after all is over 43 yrs old...do you think an automobile would sound perfect after all the wear and tear on it? Perhaps if your a millionaire and can keep it in pristine condition... I wish people would give you a break honestly ...and accept your "corn binder" for what it is... I owned my own International Flat Bed for years..I loved that old truck...it just kept going, damn reliable. I believe your boat is same for you... Anyway I enjoy your vlogs as they are.. they are your art...as an artist im perfectly willing to enjoy your creations as they are ...not as what I think they should be.. Sorry for the rant..but ....well it upset me a bit to see you getting jumped on.. All the very best...always...😊
Thank you, sorry to hear of your loss. My videos are free for anybody to watch but despite that there's always someone who moans. I take no notice of them (unless they are patrons). The sound on the next video came out fine even though it was recorded just a few hours after the last trip.
Superb cruise as always. That was a near miss collision you avoided very well. Beautiful scenery. Very pleasant indeed with bits of your music added in. Most enjoyable.thank you.
I'm inclined to agree with Scott Williams, could just be two surfaces rattling. Press various surfaces to locate the problem. This vlog does show some very picturesque spots on this canal, but it also shows the odd lunatic that you are wary of. I'm enjoying your music, along with the vlog. Canals are amazing , but after watching hundreds of associated vlogs, I've decided locks can be a major burden. I dont suppose there any lockless canals. Anyway, thanks very much Phil, and do take care.
I'm new to watching your channel and enjoy your videos. The tapping could be a rod bearing on the crankshaft and I hope it's not. Thanks for the journey.
Thanks Phil. Wonderful again. I well know the problems with stray light getting into the lens, and you can’t have the sun behind you all the time. That’s the problem with modern digital cameras, no means of attaching a lens hood. When I’m out walking, I try to stand in the shadow of a tree, or anything else I can find, just to shield the lens. Almost impossible on a boat. I guess canals are like roads. Lots of drivers with little experience or the ability to steer correctly.
Hello Phil, I'm finally caught up to your videos! I was taking pine needles all day and watching the 2 videos was so enjoyable to watch! Enjoy your Wednesday!
@@NarrowboatJourneys Raking Pine needles! 🤣 TH-cam does auto spell and was exhausted raking all day and didn't check what I read! You properly thought what is Ray doing? Enjoy the rest of the day my friend!
That was the problem when I was recording sound for my bike rides. A button in the sound recorder was rattling. But this isn't that. It could however be a very quiet rattle that just happens to be very close to the microphone...?
Nice video, I like the balance of your music and the narrations over it. I think you are in the minority of getting the volumes of talking in relation to engine and background noise correct. Thank you for your music, your time, and your dedication. Best Regards Colin and Heather
I know you like to keep things natural Phil but I do know what your engine sounds like. It sounds like tinnitus through my headphones now with an added rattle. Please go back to the music backing audio yes you did have a musical segment but I could still hear that damn engine.
@@NarrowboatJourneys quite right Phil it's impossible to please everyone so we have to compromise. Half the video with tinnitus and a rattle and half the video with your delightful music no engine. So glad you haven't got one of those thump thump engines like Narrowboat Pirate. Your music is the icing on the cake and sets your videos apart from other NB vlogs.
Great video as always, thank you. You were very lucky with that hire boat!. Could that rattle be a 'hopper' style window? Had similar do that on my boat at certain revs :)
Yes it could be a window. Or it might be a very quiet rattle that just happens to be very close to the microphones? I keep finding culprits, and fixing them, then at some point they return.
Re. Going south with the sun in your eyes... You could go in reverse!
That would take forever, and no steering! ;-)

Blimey wacky races on the canals..😳🙈😫

Many thanks!
Wow, drama on the cut, that boat was coming in a bit hot, maybe didnt know how to slow his boat down, scary , another great vlog, thank you
Thanks 👍

Thank you. The novelty of locks soon wears off. The Ashby canal is lock free.
Many thanks Phill. Take care.
Thanks, you too!
Holy SHIT! I guess all the crazies are in the USA.
Unfortunately I've seen far worse than this.
Such beautiful guitar!Thank you for that little Riff.the at aroundc12:30 !...lol.😉
Thank you too. 😀
Thanks, Phil. Very nice indeed
Very welcome
Can't believe you went literally past my house as i am a two minute walk away from the canal
Love your music and easy going way.
Thanks for listening
I'm new to watching your channel and enjoy your videos. The tapping could be a rod bearing on the crankshaft and I hope it's not. Thanks for the journey.
Sounds like your tappits on the engine....probably need looking at and adjusting.....
Wonderful 👍
Many thanks
Always a great watch. No fuss no gimmicks . Brilliant !! All the best phil 👍
Thanks 👍
Despite and thanks to the sun a great vlog!
Considered a hat with a broad rim to shade eyes in the sun?
Got one, just forgot to wear it! ;-)
Nice trip Phil.
Thank you.

The light is worse in the winter as the sun is very low then.

Taking pine needles? Thank you.
@@NarrowboatJourneys Raking Pine needles! 🤣 TH-cam does auto spell and was exhausted raking all day and didn't check what I read! You properly thought what is Ray doing? Enjoy the rest of the day my friend!
Oh, nearly forgot, could the noise be inside the microphone or camera? I had a piece of plastic break off one inside a microphone!
That was the problem when I was recording sound for my bike rides. A button in the sound recorder was rattling. But this isn't that. It could however be a very quiet rattle that just happens to be very close to the microphone...?
I like seeing you smile, thank you. I just found your other channel last week. twice the fun!
It seems that the narrowboats are made of very thick and strong steel. I almost feel physical pain when that boat chrash.
A miss, is a miss :)
I've seen too many hits to be philosophical about it! 😉
Using the banks to steer by must be a new way of navigating...
Thank you Phil another relaxing vlog.
Lovely Phil
Delightful 🚢
good vid on the cut crank it stay safe lee
Nice video, I like the balance of your music and the narrations over it. I think you are in the minority of getting the volumes of talking in relation to engine and background noise correct.

Thank you.
Lush plants - looks like they've grown out all over. Are the bridges lower on this canal?
The canal is badly overgrown. It looks nice but makes boating harder. Yes, the bridges are a bit lower on this canal.
I know you like to keep things natural Phil but I do know what your engine sounds like. It sounds like tinnitus through my headphones now with an added rattle. Please go back to the music backing audio yes you did have a musical segment but I could still hear that damn engine.
You need to get some better headphones, or turn the sound down a bit. Impossible to please everyone.
@@NarrowboatJourneys quite right Phil it's impossible to please everyone so we have to compromise. Half the video with tinnitus and a rattle and half the video with your delightful music no engine. So glad you haven't got one of those thump thump engines like Narrowboat Pirate. Your music is the icing on the cake and sets your videos apart from other NB vlogs.
@@NarrowboatJourneys just my opinion but the sound of the engine is too overpowering and spoils my enjoyment of the video.
@@nguyenphutrong7273 Traditional old thumper engines sound the best.
This must have been asked before, if so my apologies, but what is in the green box under the tiller?
My old generator.
That hire boat was moving very quickly if the intent was to moor!
They were trying to go under the bridge, not moor up. They missed!
@@NarrowboatJourneys !!! OK - I missed that - at least they missed you! JUST!
Great video as always, thank you. You were very lucky with that hire boat!. Could that rattle be a 'hopper' style window? Had similar do that on my boat at certain revs :)
Yes it could be a window. Or it might be a very quiet rattle that just happens to be very close to the microphones? I keep finding culprits, and fixing them, then at some point they return.
That sounds like a pane of glass rattling, do you have a window near by your camera?
Yes it could be a window.
👍👌🇨🇦❤
Nice vlog… though I had strayed on to Phil’s Other Channel for a minute😳… enjoy your week 💜
Thank you. It's little video clips like that which get all the views so I thought I'd give NJ a boost! ;-)
