    Good Saturday morning from Portland, Oregon! I’ve just finished episode 168. Quality, not faff! That’s because the interesting, humorous, dedicated, and good-looking trio brings it to us! Thank you, in alphabetical order, Colin the Curious, Otis the Omnipotent, and Shaun the Slim. I loved every second of it! See y’all next time. I’m about to enjoy my Saturday with my grand dogs-treats for them-sketching/painting watercolors for me, then spend the night and get a brand new buzz cut haircut tomorrow before they take me home. Plus, Monday is a holiday in America known as Labor Day which means I shall labor at housekeeping and laundry in my apartment, not teleworking. ♥️♥️♥️

    I hired a boat called Wenlock from the Union Canal Carriers yard a couple of years ago. In the background at around 13:53 you can see a very small rusty listing boat, which is one of 3 micro tugs which were used by UCC to tow work boats while the Braunston tunnel was being repaired in the early 80s. They were small enough to be able to turn round inside the tunnel. :) The one in the background is called Mouse, the others were called Mole and Frog.

    As a truck driver in the late 80s l delivered the cement used in the restoration of Braunston tunnel . The pallets of cement were dropped straight into the boats from my truck , the boat would then be taken into the tunnel where the lads would work on the brickwork . I arrived one day to a commotion , one of the boats had sunk right in the middle of the tunnel and the lads had to swim out in freezing cold water . They both had hyperthermia but survived thankfully .

    21:13 - Right there you passed the site of one of my best and most vivid memories on the canal. In 2002, we were coming up from Milton Keynes way and did the Long Buckby flight with a wonderful couple from MK (this is what I love about the wide canals - meeting people as you go up the locks together). We got along so well with this couple that we agreed to moor and have dinner together. We moored right at this spot and crossed the bridge (Bridge 6) for the half mile walk up the hill to Welton, where we ate at the White Horse Pub. We think about that day and those wonderful people to this day. Thank you for bringing this memory back to mind.

    Again a fantastic vlog with all the history of the area. I do love the witty back and forth between you both. That said this does make my day. I do think that an endorsement from Colin saying he likes a Marina is huge! (You can't type that). Have you ever thought of putting together a sticker or something to put that says "Colin/Shaun/Otis Approved?"

    G’day from lockdown Australia. We spent four days on the grand union canal in 2012 and loved it. We are new to your videos and are finding them interesting, amusing and heartfelt. You guys are great. We will get back there some day. Bye. Strangely I can smell bacon.

    Man as soon as you did a overhead view of the marina the first thing that popped into my mind was “OMG that could be a narrowboat country club or spa with just a few more amenities….
    But now the whimsical side of my mind has an idea….. instead of wasting all the pier space with hot tubs…. How about self propelled hot tubs? Take a 40 ft narrowboat hull and nose to tail put in a bunch of hot tubs into is and have someone in the marina just do a circuit and then a short cruise up and down the canal
