Awww brilliant David, I really enjoyed our time together and will hopefully see you again soon. My interpretation of this lovely cruise will be out next week hopefully. It may have a little naughtiness in it though 😂🏴☠️
Can't wait!
My absolute favorite is the Pirate!
I bet she’s a real Naughty Lass, oh wait, that’s Robbie’s boat.
I'll be checking your channel. Great stuff. Pretty country.
☺☺👍by the tip of your cutlass no doubt!
My two favourite narrowboat people 😀
On the same boat AND in the same video - it doesn’t get much better than this ❤
🙂🐿🌈❤️
A buttered Hot Cross bun, with a warming cuppa tea would be perfect right about now 🙂
Brrrrrrr it’s cold in Sydney.
What a lovely produced mini series. So nice to see the huge variety of boats and small businesses out there on the cut.
I really enjoy your, witty, self-deprecating humor. Great video as usual.
Thank you kindly!
Chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug
That sound never gets old
Great vlog David. Never known Heidi be so quiet…. And we’ll behaved!!!!!!😂😂
So you're a pirate in training now, David .
To errr is human
To arrr is pirate ☠️
Hahahahaha. Or should that be harrrrr harrrrr harrrrr
Heidi is a hoot, and a most excellent person. I had the pleasure of cruising with her on Hazel the Wellbeing boat. A real pro, she is!
Loved this David. Heidi is a genuinely lovely person with a very watchable channel. I note she kept her usual innuendo under control 😅
Haha only when I was filming!!
I forget how much I always enjoyed your cruising videos. I guess I need to go back to #1 and start over.
I liked your videos when you had your boat, but I like your videos since you sold your boat, and gone to this way much more. I didn't think that was possible. So much to see and learn. Thank you. One of the biggest benefits is seeing the English countryside by boat, seeing all the different people you interview.
So much fun watching the show. Thanks from New York
Thank you!
Love the sound of that Lister. Beautiful smooth canal!
"Heidi has the most marvelous horn" Oh David I bet that's what you tell all the ladies on the canal ;)
No, I tell them I have the most marvellous horn 😉🤣
@@CruisingTheCut does that count as blowing your own trumpet?
Awesome video! I do miss your narrow boating adventures!
What a wonderful two part portrait, mixing personalities and life on Heidi's vessel. Narrated in David style.
I do love the sound of a Lister engine. Glad to see Hedi kept her flaps in check.
Hehehehe
Great video, hope you get that small narrow boat some day :-)
I hope so too!
I really do miss your regular narrow boat travels.
"Lowering the Bridge is the reverse of raising it." Yes, I'd agree with that bit of logic. 😇
So lovely to be touring on the canal again. Heidi's Boat's Horn is definitely reminiscent of Toad's escapades with the automobile.
🤣
I just love the narrow boat pirate. I am so glad you did this documentary. She is such a wonderful lady. Funny also. She's very inspirational for women. I have learned so much about the canals, locks, toe paths. High tunnels and different bridges. I hope to visit your country someday. Just beautiful.
Thank you David and Heidi for this beautiful, tranquil and scenic cruise. I love hot cross buns, toasted and buttered!! Yum, yum!
Another lovely, well-done video. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. It was so nice of Heidi to invite you aboard, and your professional presentation of your visit and canal journey are second-to-none. Cheers!
Thank you so much!
That Lister just sounded greeaaat . Excellent entertainment David
I love watching Heidi's vlogs, always a good view and she is such a lovely person.
Heidi, I just wanted to comment that I love the sound of your Lister engine, you must be very attached to your narrowboat it always looks so tidy and well maintained. It was great to see you handling your narrowboat with ease, while David filmed. 0:08 😊
You just can’t stay away from the canals. Tiny narrow boat coming, David.🇦🇺🙏👍
That's the plan!
this was a wonderful video , i enjoy the grey skies . cheers
A beautiful cruse. Much enjoyed in spite of the gray sky. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it
‘lowering the bridge is the reverse of raising it’
agreed
Heidi may be rubbing off on you. You said bridge hole. Lol
Really enjoyed this one David, Heidi is a hoot
Brilliant! Classic Cruising the Cut…loved this, David!
Another double dose of Heidi…. Thanks David. Heidi’s casual wit and easy humorous exchange is a joy to watch. She is by far the more enduring of the many boating channels here on TH-cam, unlike most she is bound to be here for many years to come and second to none! Nice to see you back at the helm David, so cool of you to feature Heidi on your Channel, she is my favorite boater.
Brilliant! The sound of that Lister engine does it every time 😊 Maybe you need a tiny boat fund David - and then a private mooring and a shed 😂 Excellent commentary as always & Great vlog Will look forward to Heidi's version too! ☠️
I have to say David, you did look very much "at home" on the tiller ! Great vlog, keep them coming.
Thanks 👍
That made a pleasant Friday lunch even better.
Came onto Heidi's videos from David's, and have now gone back and watched 20 or more of hers. I do believe this is the first video in awhile I haven't heard Heidi mention 'Lock j!zz." Or 'wet the lips' with Kraken or Dead Man's Something or Other. I sincerely do appreciate the uniqueness you both bring into the world.
Cool horn but I fully expected her to use the canon as warning to other boaters 😉
Lovely cruise and informative too. Love Heidi’s awesome boat. Stunning. Best wishes to u both.
Thanks so much!
Heidi's engine is one of the cleanest I've seen. She obviously takes good care of it. Nice video David!
Thanks 👍
Lovely vlog, like a gentle breeze on a warm summer's day - so very peaceful. Thanks for sharing David.
My pleasure!
When it comes to watching narrowboats you're the only two I ever watch here on TH-cam and I'll tell you the rest cannot compare to the content you two put out when it comes to narrowboating, the content that's put out by you and Heidi is highly educational and entertaining plus you guys are not a bunch of conceited airbags that just go on and on about nothing never miss an episode of Cruising the cut and The narrowboat pirate😎👍👍💯🇨🇦🇬🇧
😀😀
Great video, as always, but now with a personal twist:
My lovely partner is using your most evenly and lovely voice as well as your traditional pronunciation to learn that fabulous language of yours.
Thank you very much and cheerio! :)
Love that! 😀
@@CruisingTheCut Yeah, I really love that, too. BTW: Could you work in antiestablishmentarianism in one of the next videos? 🥸😄
Ahh.. nice to see another cruising the cut vlog.. oh how I miss them.. I will definitely check out her vlog now! What a cool Pirate boat.. so awesome.. I really like how the canal walls was so high above the terrain.. Thanks for sharing your experience David.. Cheers from Missouri USA..
Two of the best! You're the reasons there are so many fans. Good to see David again, and a bit of a smile for Heidi.
I've been enjoying Heidi for a year but just realized I found her on your channel. Thanks. Also, van related, I've been enjoying Lou and Emily for a long while thanks to your recommendation so thanks for that as well.
Congrats! You scored an additional video comment! Lol! Just wanted to point out where I've put my money... I keep watching you pilot other people's narrow boats and know Wreyland was a fine lady for your first. You, sir, will own an electric tiny or short narrow boat. You, like many of us, just can't escape the water and boat life. You just have to find the right fit. I've called it. Put my money down! 😂 You'll improve your house, sell it at a profit, and buy your almost-dream-boat (bc who can really afford their actual Dream Boat?). Keep at it, Mr. Johns. You're doing great!
To my mind, if someone buys a property whose back garden is on the canal, then there’s a price to pay for that. To my mind, It shouldn’t be considered that people can’t moor there just because someone’s back garden merges into the canal. The canals were probably there first.
I guess it depends on location, but my garden ends at the canal and before I bought this house the Canal & River Trust sold that parcel of land to the previous owners (along with a lot of others along this bit of town).
As part of the sale they added covenants which mean I can't moor a boat there without requesting permission from them with no guarantee they'd grant it. So if they'd wanted it to be available for anyone to moor at they could have set things up differently.
But, in theory at least I'd be quite up for allowing others to moor up at my garden as long as I was also allowed to! Would be quite fun I think.
Finally got to see how a single handed does a lift bridge another great video
You were well catered for there on your pirate run, David. Another marvellous character on the canal. Great video.
Thank you kindly!
Nice trip. I really like the pirate. I have been watching Heidi for a few months. ❤
Two of the best here in one, absolute winner.
Enjoyed the cruise! Thank you David and Heidi.
Glad you enjoyed it
You know, it's funny, David, that I have always thought you were more overly cautious rather than blase. Still a fun episode, pleasure to see you at a tiller again. Makes me a bit wistful, if I'm honest. Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it
👍👍👍👍👍👍 and subscribed to The Narrow Boat Pirate ...keep em coming David ...
Nice to see you cruising again David even as a guest, I hope you do get another boat and will look forward to watching your vlogs again if you make some, Cruising the Cut was the first ever canal boat vlog I ever watched and got me deeply interested again. 👍
Thank you
Good to see you back on the tiller David. You get the best of both worlds with this. Thanks for posting. I look forward to seeing Heidi's interpretation!
What a lovely trip David! You did great with the controls of handling the boat. Eye Eye Mate!
Many thanks!
Very nice video David. Your smile says you must have thoroughly been enjoying yourself steering the boat. I love watching Heidi. She has such a beautiful smile and a wonderful sense of humor. I enjoy watching her. Nice you got to get onto the canal again and do some "driving". Take care and travel safe.
Thanks 👍
Thanks David and Heidi. A decent cruising video. Very much appreciated.
Another excellent video David, we are now new subscribers to Heidi's channel. Also I'd like to thank you for your help in getting me and hubby through the early days of the pandemic lockdown. Watching your videos was a godsend 🙂
Awesome, thank you!
Am really impressed by The Rum Wench's swimming ability. She may have a 3 foot draft but she moves through the water with hardly a ripple even when up to normal cruising speed and also appears to suck very little water back when going through the Llangollen bridges. A good hull design and build no doubt.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with Heidi I love it.
Our pleasure!
Piloting someone else's boat is always, an experience... well done for not stacking it into the bank. 😉
🤣
Nicely done. Spoken as a one who appreciates the sound of a Lister.
But more importantly, I appreciate your POV in this video. You were able to show more of the day-to-day routine. I enjoyed it.
Sooooo relaxing. Thank you.
Superb travel log and character "log" !
Wish i could get my ass over to UK and get in the cut bro. Dream life
Another fine episode, also following Heidi which is another great channel to follow. There was a distinctive smile when you took the tiller, I see you with a Wilderness Boat one day, towing it around behind the camper van to explore distant waterways :)
A pirate doesn't push one off a ship, a good one will make them walk the plank.😜
Absolutely delightful. Brilliant cruise. Thank you.
This is a lovely video, thank you.
A lovely sail down memory lane, thank you.
Nice to see the Daffs out :-)
Oh yeah!
Always nice to see a cruising video on your channel once in a while. Thanks for the excellent and peacefully entertaining video!
Great to see you once again enjoying being "on the cut"! Thanks for taking us along, David.
My pleasure
Thanks for producing something fun and descent that everyone may watch
Really enjoyed this and hearing from you again!
Love the words of visdom you share with us!
Ahoy me hearty! Great fun, thanks David. Always enjoy your videos.
Enjoyed it. Thanks. And thanks for explaining many of the details about the swing gate, etc. good show!
Absolutely brilliant amazing keep up these wonderful vlogs, with such lovely memories too. Good luck with all your adventures and forth coming vlogs XXX
What a lovely cruise...So good to see you manning the tiller again. It was a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you for that! 😃
Terrific video!
love your comments and comical self-degradations!😂🙃🥰
😀😀
Delightful on several different levels. Something very comforting, soothing almost about a Lester ticking over like a fine watch. I like Heidi and you 2 together, going to check out her channel.
That you for another wonderful episode.
Always a pleasure when David posts a new video of life on the canals.
That was just ace thank you ❤
Great commentary and views thank dave and hiede
We have been looking forward to this, Thank you
Scott
Hope you enjoyed it!
Grand, thank you David. So tranquil and love the sound of the engine.
Another very pleasant video, David. Thanks for taking me away from the daily hustle and bustle.
Love the sound of those old engines!
Missed those David. Thank you 😊
Thanks, David. Always a pleasure.
Super! - Another nice cup of tea and a cheese sandwich and a wee pirate adventure on the cut!
Such a wonderful adventure. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
