Cruising the Cut is the show that introduced me to sailing channels. It's a really fun channel given how low key it is. David has such a quintessential British presence and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to your time on the canals.
YAY! You DID do the best canal! My hubby and I had a narrowboat for 5-years and loved it! We Yank's love all that history along England's canals! There is nothing as beautiful or fun as cruising through England's canals, pub hopping, checking out beautiful castles, (Think Chirk Castle!) and working those locks! It's simply the best! SO happy you two got to experience our favorite thing to do in the world!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, but credit to Wales, as that's where Llangollen and most of the canal is found. Castell Dinas Brân for instance, like a real-world fortress of Amon Sûl from Lord of the Rings...
We've been watching narrowboat TH-cam videos for years and it has been at the top of our bucket list for at least 6 years. So glad you two got to experience it.
I've watched CruisingTheCut for years. When I saw the opening scene, I thought, oh, now I'll get to see the canals in France, but this Wynn-David crossover is perfect!!
I thought that too. Must have been nice for him to put down the camera for a bit and chat with others who understand the pressures of producing content.
You just went over the top on Grooviness. The sailboat channel meets the Narrowboat channel, including David who first introduce me to narrowboating years ago. You couldn't have found a better narrowboat guide.
I fell in love with narrowboats when we travelled to the UK in 2017. We started watching narrowboat TH-cam channels after that, and found David’s channel. We’ve followed him ever since. I think because we followed him other live aboard boat channels were recommended to us, and that is how we found you. I’m so pleased to see you both catch up.
As I watched the beginning I said, "Oh, I hope they run into David of Crusing the Cut" and Vuella! The Canal King 👑 appears. I am a big fan of both! Yay!
After 7 years since you left life in a motorhome and I unsubscribed since we could NEVER afford to buy a catamaran and sail the seven seas, the TH-cam gods selected this video. Glad to see you are still sharing your life and obviously doing well. I learned a lot from your RV videos. Cheers!
I’ve moved to the uk from the us 10 years ago now. This is an amazing episode I’m so glad you captured this bit of British history. We have also been across the epic viaduct.
you defo need to o a canal adventure with David this summer....the Rochdale canal is a beauty but David will 100% know where to go. You guys just had so much great banter.
That’s exciting news. I grew up in Salford England and as a teenager I would walk the paths beside the canals and fish for carp. Back in the 1980s the canals were in disrepair in my town and were full of trash old bicycles, prams and all sorts of rubbish but not anymore they have really cleaned the canals up. Have fun.
I followed Foxes Afloat on their narrow boat journey; thought it was so cool and wondered why we in the states never embraced those boats here; Foxes Afloat always had combined their journey with history of what you were seeing. My advice is just embrace the boat and enjoy it.
New York has the Erie Canal and many people living on all kinds of boats including narrow boats that you can hire . In total the canal with all of it's side passages is over 500 miles long . You can travel from Buffalo to just north of Albany as well as access to Cayuga and Seneca Lakes .
We have a few canals, but most fell out of use fairly quickly because of trains being easier to to build and run. The Erie canal is drained each year for maintenance after boating season and reopens in the spring. The old Canals like the Erie, C&O, and I&M all make great Bike trails now and can be ridden in Illinois, Ohio, and Maryland and New York.
I've been super interested in canal cruising after watching Nick and Terysa do the canals of France, so when I looked up canals around the world that one can cruise, discovering the history of Great Britain's canals was quite a fascinating and neat little rabbit hole to fall down. It made me hope that some of the sailing channels I am familiar with might someday do it... and so of course The Wynns were there to make that wish a reality! I look forward to seeing this entire little series!
Been watching Earlewrites adventures on her narrow boat last few years and on S/V Delos before that. Nice to see y'all having a good time trying new things
What a wonderful Sunday morning “double feature” with three of my longtime favorite TH-cam creators! Thank you Nikki, Jason and David for all of your video travel adventures. ❤
Living in landlocked Tennessee I don't do a lot of boating and only follow 2 boating channels, yours and David's! Been watching you since the RV and David about as long. What a wonderful surprise this adventure is!
Hi guys I used to follow you when I lived in Florida,from the very beginning with Curiosity,now retired to UK,have share in a narrow boat based in Ellsmere! Can’t believe your here sad I missed you we were the 4 weeks ago.hope you enjoyed it,I missed my IP 31 so had to have a boat again.
I recently happened upon you in Pinterest. I realized I’ve been watching you off & on for over 10 years. I first saw you on Going RV. Nice to see you’re still together & haven’t lost your love of travel. Happy Trails!❤
They drive on the left in the streets but to the right on a canal? .. oh well go figure. Looks like a great time... maneuvering the boat is a big part of the fun ...
The space has been used really well. Personally, i shiver from the thought to do inland boating like that, brings back memories of narrow canals, algae in the engine, bridges not opened high enough, and no place to go to let some one pass.. brrr
My only holiday on a canal boat was on this canal to Llangollen when I was 11. I'm 62 now. It's still one of the best holidays I have ever had. So peaceful. We spent a night in Ellesemere as well! I remember the Pontcysyllte aqueduct very well. Looking over the side of that trough!!
Happily cruised the canals with David and the Silver Foxes for years. Now all three are back on land; the two Silver Foxes are thriving in Scotland. Have a great time with David, he’s a great guy to learn from.
This is a complete surprise and an adventure I'd never contemplated, one also completely different from your land adventures and your famous ocean ones - like the thrillingly dangerous crossing where you lost your emergency life raft AND the whole compartment! I think this one is more my speed at the moment since I'm still recuperating from surgery and not back home yet. Yes, the slower and calmer pace of the canals is going to be a lovely adventure at this time.
Cruising the Cut was the first TH-cam channel I subscribed to. David has been described as a “National Treasure” by fellow narrowboaters. Great to see him doing some collabs with other YTers.
Awesome! I've been watching David for years; he was the vlogger who introduced a lot of us to England's glorious canals. So glad you found him. Have a blast, and we can't wait to watch you cross the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
We watched @sailingrubyrose transverse from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic using the canal system years ago which was very interesting. LOVE LUV how well you two have scrambled to provide great content, versus other sailing channels who are also waiting for delivery of their new Catamarans…
The Llangollen was the first canal I went narrowboating on. You did well to visit off season as it gets very busy in summer. That big viaduct with the very Welsh name is impressive at any time of the year.
This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this. Talk about a relaxing adventure, I am sure I would love trying something like this. Thank you Niki and Jason!!
I've been just fascinated by the narrow boats since I first discovered them a few years ago. I'm 71 and lost my wife a few years ago. I've been looking for a place where things are slower and not as crazy as they are in most places. Perhaps a step back in time. 8) I'm looking forward to learning more! I'm not crazy about boats, but I can do 4 feet deep 8) Cheerio 8) --gary
The self-restraint Nikki demonstrated when navigating that underpass was truly impressive.... There were at least a half dozen perfect opportunities for "that's what she said" remarks!!
Love love this! I did the exact same trip years ago, and fell in love with narrow boating! Over the past few months I have started watching narrow boaters on youtube..brings back so many great memories!💕💕
Wow, this is brilliant. I am subscribed to both channels. I live in Birmingham in the midlands UK and we have more canals than anywhere else. It was superb to see you enjoying the exerience, (especially our wonderful weather 🤣 ) I can't wait to see you both sailing again though, it fuels my dreams. Thank you.
Oh my Gosh, the variety of content that you guys have is just amazing. I was wondering what you were going to do while you are waiting for your boat but whether you are stuck in Fiji during Covid or just waiting for your boat, You two seem to make the best of every opportunity and it’s delightful to watch.
Chugging along on a narrow boat in the middle of the countryside is so much fun, after you learn to slow down & relax Into it. Seeing your 2 year old child sitting on the beam of a lock as it swings out over the water as your narrow boat gets further away as the water leaves the lock does however get your heart racing somewhat but a bit of shouting to stay still and racing to a position of I will catch you if you fall means that no harm is done and the memory goes into family folklore😃 Daughter now a mother of 2 children and has this all to come... I look forward to your experiences over the next few days👍
I’ve been following a number of narrow boating folks and it appears to be a easy going for most of the time followed with extreme nervousness around objects. Stay cool and enjoy your experience. 👍
I have never been on a narrow boat before but I have been on a River cruise on the Norfolk Broads which is something that I definitely would recommend for you two. You don’t have to worry about locks and the rivers are quite wider than the canal system,you don’t just get cruisers on the Broads but also Sailing Boats as well ( small ones and some quite large ones ) you also get the older more traditional types of boats which would go around the broads but also around the Norfolk Coast. There is so much History on the Broads and I found it to be one of the most relaxing and interesting Holidays I’ve ever been on,nothing like waking up in the morning and being surrounded by a River Mist and therefore you feel as if you are floating on the clouds surrounding you,it’s pretty great because there are some interesting walks you can go on and visit traditional Water mills, it’s one of those Holidays that until you actually experience it yourself you can’t believe how beautiful and magical the Broads are ,it’s definitely a great place to de-stress and relax and there are so many interesting places to explore and visit. When myself and my Father went it was in May and we had a week of perfect sunshine the first time,second time we went the following year in late May we had one day when it was extremely foggy and damp but it was like being all on your own and being cocooned in a different World,just the sound of the water occasionally slapping the side of the Boat as a Swan went past and a whispering noise of the wind ( slight breeze ) blowing through the Reeds nearby,with the occasional sound of some Birds nearby…. Both times we never bothered to have the TV on ,we just listened to the silence and read a book or sat gazing at everything around… it was for me one of those times when I wished I could draw or paint but you can take some marvellous photos of the scenery. A week wasn’t enough for us but it was all we could afford but myself and my Dad could happily have spent Weeks and weeks just pottering around on the Broads,you would struggle seeing everything in two weeks because there are just so many things and places that you want to just have a look !. Short walks to old villages with Thatched Cottages and Really old Churches and Seaside Ports as well with History going back hundreds of years. I really enjoyed this video and I enjoy all your other videos,informative,interesting and Fun along the way with the Wynns,hearing people laugh and enjoying life is always lovely ❤
What a nice surprise, been watching your channel for quite a while, seeing you in beautiful locations and now here in the UK very local to me, in fact popped into Ellesmere a couple of months back. Enjoy.
Nikki & Jason welcome to the UK we have been watching from the beginning RV trips, have a great time you will enjoy it hopefully the good old British weather will be kind to you both.
What fun! Hubs Dad grew up on the boats. Came off the boats to join the army. Just three weeks ago. While you were touring with family. I decided I would look up Narrow boat touring and visit the familiar sites round and about Cheshire with a few video bloggers, and send hubs some links. Which he promptly expanded on. Last week, before he flitted off to check on our house to make sure it hadn't burned down, in the Alberta fires. I talked up Gone with the Wynns and got him intrigued with deep water sailing. Though he has leaned more to tall ships. Imagine my surprise this morning to find you out on the canals in Shropshire! Looking forward to your adventures as always!
David is my favorite UK TH-camr! He is hilarious, and I’m so jealous you got to hang out with him!!! He is the reason I want to leave Florida and move to the UK and live on a narrowboat!
This is so good! I am a proud gongoozler and seeing you both getting a chance to do something I dream to do some day with my family is quite a blessing for me. Being a subscriber to both channels it has been a joy to watch this amazing collaboration. Thank you all for bringing joy to the world.
I started out sailing and lost my yacht in an Irish sea storm back in 2018. I retreated to the inland waterways in 2019 and have lived aboard since then. I've followed your travels for many years. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see you on my local canals. 🤗. What a rare treat. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience 🍻
❤ how this hired long boat is so well kept and clean! Also, very cool tidbits on the real Alpine Swift 🕊 , and how to blend in as a local boater: Run out and yell "OY, SLOW DOWN!" as soon as you hear any boat coming, no matter their speed. 😹
I feel like we have come full circle with you guys. We first found you from your Composting toilet video (that we bought) a few years after we moved from the UK to the US and bought an RV. We now travel the US in our Grand Design RV. All our family is in the UK and some of friends back in the UK live on Canal boats. Thanks for taking us back to the UK for just a few minutes ❤. No way we’d move back, but it’s very nostalgic watching this. Thank you 🙏
At last a Gone with the Wynns adventure I can relate to. I don’t sail and I don’t go anywhere particularly exotic, but I do live on a 70ft NB and have done for a long time.
When I first started operating narrow boats I came up with a simple rule to avoid steering confusion that might happen especially in a tight spot. “ point the tiller at what you want to avoid”. Simple and easy to remember for newbies .
LOVE LOVE LOVE...The hubby was clapping and screaming this morn...I came running..two of our favorites in the same video on a Sunday morn?!.Is this the real life or is this a fantasy?!...Cruising the cut and The Wynns ....this has made our morn...Love Love Love
Started watching Cruising the Cut a few years ago and he's such a good story teller. His videos are of such good quality! So awesome you guys are doing a video together!
Yippee!! We're so excited to see you two on a narrowboat in Great Britain! How fun, sweet and totally British! Getting introduced to your experience by the King of the Canals himself must have been fun. From the canals, you will have so many wonders to appreciate! We're excited to watch your narrowboat adventure. Cheerio 🙂
Cruising the Cut is the show that introduced me to sailing channels. It's a really fun channel given how low key it is. David has such a quintessential British presence and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to your time on the canals.
What a wonderful treat to see both the Wynns and David in two videos on the same day.
YAY! You DID do the best canal! My hubby and I had a narrowboat for 5-years and loved it! We Yank's love all that history along England's canals! There is nothing as beautiful or fun as cruising through England's canals, pub hopping, checking out beautiful castles, (Think Chirk Castle!) and working those locks! It's simply the best! SO happy you two got to experience our favorite thing to do in the world!!!!
Had the opportunity to visit a friend in that area a few years back, and visited the viaduct and Chirk Castle. Enchanted area of the UK.
Glad you enjoyed it, but credit to Wales, as that's where Llangollen and most of the canal is found. Castell Dinas Brân for instance, like a real-world fortress of Amon Sûl from Lord of the Rings...
Now there's a collaboration I never thought I would see, you two never fail to surprise and delight. Welcome to England !
We've been watching narrowboat TH-cam videos for years and it has been at the top of our bucket list for at least 6 years. So glad you two got to experience it.
Aaaaaaaa😊araeA|
THE ULTIMATE CROSS OVER EPISODE
Me too
You’ve convinced me narrow boats are the best tiny house on the planet! Loved
The tour can’t wait for the adventure!
I started watching Cruising the Cut when the pandemic started. Binged it. loved it.
I'm an infrequent visitor to "Cruising the Cut", but I will be visiting soon to see his take. This has been on my bucket list for a few decades now.
You won’t be disappointed. Great content on "Cruising the Cut?"
@@davidoickle1778 I've yet to be disappointed by your channel - so my expectations are high. 😁
I've watched CruisingTheCut for years. When I saw the opening scene, I thought, oh, now I'll get to see the canals in France, but this Wynn-David crossover is perfect!!
How awesome that you connected with David, he really does great videos on the canals of Britain.
Thank you
never seen David so happy. all smiles.
yea its brilliant
You’d have thought it had a dishwasher, with that smile.
It's true! So much more relaxed than when he's doing his own videos. 😊
I thought that too. Must have been nice for him to put down the camera for a bit and chat with others who understand the pressures of producing content.
Such a genuine fan-boy reaction. It was absolutely brilliant wasn’t it.
🙂🐿🌈❤️

Fantastic!!!! Loved David's videos and am soooo looking forward to seeing the Wynns on the canal!!!!
I love Sunday with the Wynns. Thanks so much! Travel safely ❤️
I've lived in Ellesmere for over 30 years and really pleased you enjoyed the Llangollen Canal
I’ve moved to the uk from the us 10 years ago now. This is an amazing episode I’m so glad you captured this bit of British history. We have also been across the epic viaduct.
Omg I love this collab!! Been loving cruising the cut for yeeeeears and as soon as you said narrow boat, I thought of him! How cool!!
you defo need to o a canal adventure with David this summer....the Rochdale canal is a beauty but David will 100% know where to go. You guys just had so much great banter.
That’s exciting news. I grew up in Salford England and as a teenager I would walk the paths beside the canals and fish for carp. Back in the 1980s the canals were in disrepair in my town and were full of trash old bicycles, prams and all sorts of rubbish but not anymore they have really cleaned the canals up. Have fun.
Unexpected & AWESOME! David from Cruising the Cut? Ideal guide.
😊
I followed Foxes Afloat on their narrow boat journey; thought it was so cool and wondered why we in the states never embraced those boats here; Foxes Afloat always had combined their journey with history of what you were seeing. My advice is just embrace the boat and enjoy it.
New York has the Erie Canal and many people living on all kinds of boats including narrow boats that you can hire . In total the canal with all of it's side passages is over 500 miles long . You can travel from Buffalo to just north of Albany as well as access to Cayuga and Seneca Lakes .
We have a few canals, but most fell out of use fairly quickly because of trains being easier to to build and run. The Erie canal is drained each year for maintenance after boating season and reopens in the spring. The old Canals like the Erie, C&O, and I&M all make great Bike trails now and can be ridden in Illinois, Ohio, and Maryland and New York.
@@kenmcclow8963 south Louisiana is full of water and yet not a one here.
I’m off to David’s channel immediately!
I've been super interested in canal cruising after watching Nick and Terysa do the canals of France, so when I looked up canals around the world that one can cruise, discovering the history of Great Britain's canals was quite a fascinating and neat little rabbit hole to fall down.

Been watching Earlewrites adventures on her narrow boat last few years and on S/V Delos before that. Nice to see y'all having a good time trying new things
Did this trip in the mid 60’s. Brings back wonderful memories. Thank you for this trip down memory lane 😊
What a wonderful Sunday morning “double feature” with three of my longtime favorite TH-cam creators! Thank you Nikki, Jason and David for all of your video travel adventures. ❤
Living in landlocked Tennessee I don't do a lot of boating and only follow 2 boating channels, yours and David's! Been watching you since the RV and David about as long. What a wonderful surprise this adventure is!
Watched Travel Beans take a quick canal trip with their new baby. Can’t wait to watch your adventures! It looks like so much fun.
Hi guys I used to follow you when I lived in Florida,from the very beginning with Curiosity,now retired to UK,have share in a narrow boat based in Ellsmere! Can’t believe your here sad I missed you we were the 4 weeks ago.hope you enjoyed it,I missed my IP 31 so had to have a boat again.
You’ve opened my eyes to this easy going way of life in the UK. The sound of birds, cows and crickets and views from every window ❤
I recently happened upon you in Pinterest. I realized I’ve been watching you off & on for over 10 years. I first saw you on Going RV. Nice to see you’re still together & haven’t lost your love of travel. Happy Trails!❤
Picked up our 1st narrowboat from Blackwater, 3 yrs and we have booked a narriwboat every Yr since. Can't wait for our holiday in August.
They drive on the left in the streets but to the right on a canal? .. oh well go figure. Looks like a great time... maneuvering the boat is a big part of the fun ...
I've hired for 23 years but the moment when you start the engine and set off never fails to excite .You are amazing x
The bit above the oven is a grill (broiler to Americans) great for bacon or cheese on toast... or toast if you don't have a toaster.
This is a awesome youtub channel collaboration that i never could've predicted. I have been subscribed to both channels from the beginning. 👏
Another wonderful video from my favorite TH-camrs.
The space has been used really well. Personally, i shiver from the thought to do inland boating like that, brings back memories of narrow canals, algae in the engine, bridges not opened high enough, and no place to go to let some one pass.. brrr
I did this canal in August and it inspired me to invest in a narrowboat of my own
David got me following you guys years ago now nice to see this come full circle.
I am a liveaboard widebeamer love this life.
My only holiday on a canal boat was on this canal to Llangollen when I was 11. I'm 62 now. It's still one of the best holidays I have ever had. So peaceful. We spent a night in Ellesemere as well! I remember the Pontcysyllte aqueduct very well. Looking over the side of that trough!!
I’ve lived on a Bayfield40 ketch for about 3 years and have found this to be an interesting vacation experience. Looks fun for a couple of weeks.
Life is never dull with the Wynns. Thanks for sharing...
This is something I've dreamed about doing for some time. It's about the only thing left on my bucket list. Enjoy your cruise.
I've been watching Cousin Davids narrowboat travelog channel since the beginning! You couldn't have picked a better qualified guide!
I’ve been living on a Narrowboat and watching your sailing adventures for five years now. I’ve been so looking forward to this video.
lol, you know what is going to happen, before they do it. This is going to be a great series. So excited.
Just returned from a morning volunteer lock keeping to this. What a surprise!
Happily cruised the canals with David and the Silver Foxes for years. Now all three are back on land; the two Silver Foxes are thriving in Scotland. Have a great time with David, he’s a great guy to learn from.
I love it when 2 of my fave channels merge. Just great. Thanks
Wow. After years of watching you are “just down the road” enjoy your time here in the UK.
This is a complete surprise and an adventure I'd never contemplated, one also completely different from your land adventures and your famous ocean ones - like the thrillingly dangerous crossing where you lost your emergency life raft AND the whole compartment!

I love canal trips. So beautiful. 🍿 time.
The Llangollen was the first canal I went narrowboating on. You did well to visit off season as it gets very busy in summer. That big viaduct with the very Welsh name is impressive at any time of the year.

This is one of the best narrowboat videos I have ever seen. It is truly my dream to narrowboat
The self-restraint Nikki demonstrated when navigating that underpass was truly impressive.... There were at least a half dozen perfect opportunities for "that's what she said" remarks!!
Did this for a week back a few years, it was great fun and I would do it again at the drop of a hat. Good to see how you both got along with it.
So cool! always an adventure- Thanks guys.
Just came from David's channel...I lived in the USA for 20 years and I am so glad to see some good Americans in our country........
We're taking it niice and slow along the countryside. Gotta soak it all in.
This episode reminds me how I (we) look forward to you guys having a boat again.
Love love this! I did the exact same trip years ago, and fell in love with narrow boating! Over the past few months I have started watching narrow boaters on youtube..brings back so many great memories!💕💕

That is a bucket list item for me. Congratulations
So much fun! We spent two weeks last Sept on a narrowboat in the UK. We can’t wait to get back for more!!!
I watched David's channel for years, because of the peaceful agricultural backdrop of the canals.
Best wishes from Northern Canada.
Fantastic! David is awesome. Very interesting to see y’all experiencing a very different boat life.

Daughter now a mother of 2 children and has this all to come...
I look forward to your experiences over the next few days👍
Narrowboating is greatest idea, yet, as you fill time awaiting your new hybrid cat.
Looking forward to another great adventure with stellar scenery.
I think the cows are in the other video! So cute! You have to lure them with more grass! 😅
I’ve been following a number of narrow boating folks and it appears to be a easy going for most of the time followed with extreme nervousness around objects. Stay cool and enjoy your experience. 👍
I love David and his channel. Why did he ever sell his boat? I loved watching his channel

A week wasn’t enough for us but it was all we could afford but myself and my Dad could happily have spent Weeks and weeks just pottering around on the Broads,you would struggle seeing everything in two weeks because there are just so many things and places that you want to just have a look !.
Short walks to old villages with Thatched Cottages and Really old Churches and Seaside Ports as well with History going back hundreds of years.
I really enjoyed this video and I enjoy all your other videos,informative,interesting and Fun along the way with the Wynns,hearing people laugh and enjoying life is always lovely ❤
Your gonna love some of the pubs, so different to your normal adventures, have fun guys.😊
Gone with the Wynns. Cruising the cut. Sailing Zatara. My three boat channels. I love that you have collaborated with both channels.
What a nice surprise, been watching your channel for quite a while, seeing you in beautiful locations and now here in the UK very local to me, in fact popped into Ellesmere a couple of months back. Enjoy.
Nikki & Jason welcome to the UK we have been watching from the beginning RV trips, have a great time you will enjoy it hopefully the good old British weather will be kind to you both.
Glad to see the crossover. Been watching your channel and Cruising the Cut channel for years. Puts a smile on my face!
What fun! Hubs Dad grew up on the boats.
Came off the boats to join the army. Just three weeks ago. While you were touring with family. I decided I would look up Narrow boat touring and visit the familiar sites round and about Cheshire with a few video bloggers, and send hubs some links. Which he promptly expanded on. Last week, before he flitted off to check on our house to make sure it hadn't burned down, in the Alberta fires.
I talked up Gone with the Wynns and got him intrigued with deep water sailing. Though he has leaned more to tall ships.
Imagine my surprise this morning to find you out on the canals in Shropshire!
Looking forward to your adventures as always!
David is my favorite UK TH-camr! He is hilarious, and I’m so jealous you got to hang out with him!!!
He is the reason I want to leave Florida and move to the UK and live on a narrowboat!
This is so good! I am a proud gongoozler and seeing you both getting a chance to do something I dream to do some day with my family is quite a blessing for me. Being a subscriber to both channels it has been a joy to watch this amazing collaboration. Thank you all for bringing joy to the world.
I started out sailing and lost my yacht in an Irish sea storm back in 2018. I retreated to the inland waterways in 2019 and have lived aboard since then. I've followed your travels for many years. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see you on my local canals. 🤗. What a rare treat. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience 🍻
Now this is so cool 😎 I can not wait to see more of this adventure ❤
❤ how this hired long boat is so well kept and clean! Also, very cool tidbits on the real Alpine Swift 🕊 , and how to blend in as a local boater: Run out and yell "OY, SLOW DOWN!" as soon as you hear any boat coming, no matter their speed. 😹
I feel like we have come full circle with you guys. We first found you from your Composting toilet video (that we bought) a few years after we moved from the UK to the US and bought an RV. We now travel the US in our Grand Design RV. All our family is in the UK and some of friends back in the UK live on Canal boats. Thanks for taking us back to the UK for just a few minutes ❤. No way we’d move back, but it’s very nostalgic watching this. Thank you 🙏
At last a Gone with the Wynns adventure I can relate to. I don’t sail and I don’t go anywhere particularly exotic, but I do live on a 70ft NB and have done for a long time.
When I first started operating narrow boats I came up with a simple rule to avoid steering confusion that might happen especially in a tight spot.
“ point the tiller at what you want to avoid”.
Simple and easy to remember for newbies .
David just shaking his head at the enthusiastic Americans. Such an English reaction.
Great way to start Sunday Morning again!
LOVE LOVE LOVE...The hubby was clapping and screaming this morn...I came running..two of our favorites in the same video on a Sunday morn?!.Is this the real life or is this a fantasy?!...Cruising the cut and The Wynns ....this has made our morn...Love Love Love
😂😂😊😊
Started watching Cruising the Cut a few years ago and he's such a good story teller. His videos are of such good quality! So awesome you guys are doing a video together!
Yippee!! We're so excited to see you two on a narrowboat in Great Britain! How fun, sweet and totally British! Getting introduced to your experience by the King of the Canals himself must have been fun. From the canals, you will have so many wonders to appreciate! We're excited to watch your narrowboat adventure. Cheerio 🙂
