    I particularly loved the music this time, it felt floaty and autumnal. Your way of life on the boat, now boats, looks idyllic, but day to day you must be making plans for the next day, week, month, which can all change overnight due to weather conditions, work deadlines and so on. And boats need constant attention. It's not an easy lifestyle by any means.
    Stay warm. Hope you find a nice winter berth.
    Love, Nick.

    You wanted to know more about Alvecote, so the marina, boatyard and The James Brindley pub are owned by Malcolm Burge, who has a particular interest in historic boats, encouraging the owners to moor there. South Midland boats are his too. He also owns the house and dry dock at Grendon.

    Hello guys. Great work on the locks and working with 2 boats must be hard work. Ben's music reminds me of music I would hear as a kid in the 70s. Filfy fumbs up rippers.

    It looks like Benny's getting Rambler tamed as much as possible - the lock entry was perfect - can't do much about strong wind - and is there an issue running in reverse then - spearing into the bank ? Gearing ?

    Always enjoy watching your Vlog. For the rambler look into a dolphin tail it either clamps or bolts on the lower end of the motor and it’s supposed to help you in maneuvering. I pay Stan what they say the benefits are.
    BENEFITS
    3x the Steering Control
    2x the Turn Rate
    3x the Effective Rudder Area

    The outboard motor gear shift should have detents that you can feel for the shift positions and neutral. You have to adjust the linkage so that the middle position is neutral. If no detents are there you can mark neutral position and adjust the linkage to work from the neutral mark to get fwd and reverse.

    Its when you use the Drone to do the aerial shots of both canal boats chugging along with the scenery , you do get a brilliant birds eye view of how Ben and Emily are doing . Its certainly not easy - doing locks on your own . The autumn colours are nice - was this filmed recently in the last week or early to mid november ? Query to ask Ben and Emily , which drone do you use DJI Mini Pro 3 ? Also where did Benny get his hat - as I would like to buy something like that for a dear friend ? Many thanks from Will ( Zomerset )
