    I am a 64yr old/young man in South Africa living a new found dream through the such as you fabulous people...... Many years ago in the late 80's whilst in the UK I saw narrow boats in London and never thought much of it other than these were possibly gypsy's because the boat's were boldly patterned and the crew as well. God bless and keep going, how wrong I was.

    Oh what lovely summer fun! These are the magic moments we all remember or hope for or look forward to having in our lives, and it is almost as fun seeing all of you have them! Luscious!

    Guys! Your cinematography is just getting better and better! Your music always fits the mood and the scenery.
    Marina, your voice is just mesmerizing.
    Miles, you are one lucky fella! Both of you, keep living the dream as it keeps me hoping one day I'll be able to do this myself.. X

    Hi Myles it was great to have you in the back of my black cab yesterday.Many thanks for all the tips and advice,just the spur for my brother and i to travel the canal network rather than drive a cab around London.I will look forward to your future vlogs with much interest.As i said yesterday i started watching you and marina during the first lockdown and you very much helped me through it. Best wishes to you both. Peter.

      Thank Peter. It was lovely to meet you yesterday! Good luck boat hunting and do keep us posted with your progress. It’s amazing to hear how we were able to make lockdown a little less dull. Hope you see you out on the water soon!

    Marina, Miles, Hope you had a good Summer Break . Good to have your Vlogs back again. What an excellent Vlog it is too. I love Henley. Only did the Regatta once, some 36 years ago, but there is a just special atmosphere during Henley Regatta week. You gave us some great footage from on the Thames at Henley. It was just great. Thank you. Take care.

    The boats you mentioned are Slippers. Or Thames Slippers. Streamlined but often small engines. Amazing craft. Great great vlog. Something else on my bucket list.

    Great episode with such a variety of boats. I spent ages looking up information on some of them, learning a lot. The slipper boats are really beautiful. Going too slow!!! It's a canal boat.

    The Little red spotted mushroom vent said to the big black solar panel." did you see all the frantic preperations Marina & Myles are doing I think a party is coming up and I'm sure I heard Marmite mentioned and there's all kinds of guests arriving ,guitars playing and there are all those long thin skinny boats zipping past,people shouting gretings singing and lots of wine being drunk.
    Wow what a party loved it all thank you so much Marina and Myles XXX

    Enjoyed the regatta.... But what prompted my comment was your really great photography work. I have watched your videos for quite sometime and have seen a constant improvement. Great job keep up the great work. I spend much of my time here in California shooting our Sierra Mountains and of course our coastline and surfing. Love your sunrises and sunsets and your composition has become very good. Take Care...

    What an amazing adventure. You ar3 so lucky! Appreciate every moment. Seeing Henley and the Thames is pure nostalgia for me. Thank you. I don’t live near enough now so this video means loads to me. Thank you.
    I remember walking as a small child with my grand parents in the field by marsh lock. Then when it was flooded kayaking across it 😂.
    I never got to be on the water during the regatta and regret doing something else when I had the chance. That’s why I say you are lucky to have the opportunity. Have fun live the adventure and thank you for sharing. Xx one day I will be a subscriber that finds you and says hello. Promise. Until then…. Please keep sharing. 😍

    Not sure exactly where you guys are now but on the weekend of 11th-12th Sept a fleet of Dunkirk Little Ships will be cruising from Penton Hook Marina (between Staines and Chertsey) upstream one day and doenstream on the Sunday. Will be quite a sight if you are about. These historic little boats are at least 75 years old and each was active in the rescue of troups from the beaches of Dunkirk during WW2, Info from Association of Dunkirk Little Ships.

    Wow, that was a great video. Looked like you folks had great fun with your friends and family. That's the way it should be. Enjoyed the "talented musicians". Hope your got to see lots of "falling stars". We never seem to be able to see many here where I am in the US as they are their best between 2-4 a.m. NO WAY. Take care and travel safe!

    Your content and editing is fabulous. You make narrow boating look effortless. Is emptying your paddleboat from a heavy rainfall difficult? It's lovely to see lovely evenings with friends.

    Great video as ever. I was lucky enough to play golf at the grove recently where you spent lockdown and checked on google maps to see where the canal came near the golf course and I’m pretty sure that is Alba in the image complete with dinghy?
