The life style you have chosen at your ages is a brilliant decision. Most don't consider this as a life option till its to late in retirement. If I were given life again I would live on the canals most of my life. " Narrow Boat Journeys" vloger Alan has been on the canals 28 years.
Safety concern - Pixel. I note Pixel was tethered through the locks but I'm not convinced it was safe. The lead needs to be either too short to stop Pixel falling off the boat or long enough to be comfortably in the canal. Anywhere in between could result in a hanging !
Glad you were able to get the engine fix and really glad that you have installed the solar panels. I have had mine on my house for about 5 years and it is really nice to almost live off the energy grid. Now about your music. I for one really like the background music you have selected. Early on in your vlogs, you played the music but did not give any credits. I spent a lot of time searching with the words to find the music and I have them in a special file. Keep the music coming. Sorry to those few who don't like it.
Lovely !! ... always a surprise !! ...oooh a boat ride !! ...oooh cooking mmmm !!! Thank You for the ride along !! You will love the solar less pull on the engine/alternator less fuel burned ...I have it on my motorhome everything is always toped up if it sits around for even a day always ready to go : ) Thank You !!
Great as usual guys :) Ryan, you need to do some more calorific meals...Maggie needs building up to help with the locks :) Shame she broke the alternator ;)
OH NO the kitchen posse is loose on the cut again, good to see. Both of you and now the boat soaking in the sun's rays, good for you and hope all works out.
@@NarrowboatChef And seeing as how the nearest narrow boat hire establishment is more than an afternoon's drive from California . . . living vicariously through the TH-cam channels will have to do for now!
Another lovely vlog. It's clear that you are popular as TH-cam makes me watch three mandatory adverts with no skipout option before I get to see your stories. Which are still great..ta incidentally... ( anyone know of a good ad zap app? ) Gives me time to refill my coffee mug.
@@NarrowboatChef I must be a very naughty TH-cam viewer to get three interesting ads about very expensive sun glasses, really useful kitchen appliances to shred lettuce and holidays on river boats...ho hum! If I get four adverts next time I'll realise it's because of watching your vlogs that does it...or did Maggie break my TH-cam?
Hi, Adelaidean here :) Have you got a block of butter on the roof at beginning of video? I completely understand trying to get butter spreadable, great idea :)
I'm so glad to see you back on the move again and with solar too. Boat stands for break out another thousand. Look out for David and Jasmine who are not far ahead of you. Thanks for the nice vlog. Cheers
In the summer, we don’t need to run our engine at all to get the energy back that we’ve used during the night, which is amazing - otherwise we normally have to run our engine at least about 3-4 hours per day.
When you have the camera pointed forward, it must be almost at eye level because I catch myself unconsciously ducking my head at bridge holes out of habit.🤪 You must have the cut mostly to yourselves about now...
True I would not recommend two Aussies taking a runer from the mariner. Rien what can be said, that Maggie needs good rump development to make ease of then locks. Not saying man is naturally better. But we are. cheer on the vlog
Wow, super surprins! You have energie, you are independent! Vive la liberte! 🗽 Please, make a trai whit oshawa on the board, for detoxication, for a eco life!
Hi both nice vlog and weather don’t know how I have missed this on what size is your solar panels? Sounds like the bearings were on there way out glad you got sorted out take care 😀👍
nice program music guys who's the music chooser I'd guess Maggie because the music sounds very bouncy and emotional which often a girls style of music chose I'm country fan so not criticizing Ryan if you're the music chooser.
Nice solar panels, the only thing you need now is a Super woman T'shirt for Maggie especially after the Meaford locks!
She’s got one! 😁

Thanks, we think so too. 😊
I love the little railway in someone's garden after Lime Kiln Lock
It’s a nice little garden ornament! 😉
When you were chatting about the alternator I was wondering if you'd say "Maggie broke it". Maybe next time :)
Don’t you start!! 🤣
Safety concern - Pixel. I note Pixel was tethered through the locks but I'm not convinced it was safe. The lead needs to be either too short to stop Pixel falling off the boat or long enough to be comfortably in the canal. Anywhere in between could result in a hanging !
Getting a bit sick of Star lock - with the bent beam for the bridge! I think this is the third time this week !
Saw it on Cruising the Cut yesterday.
Thank you again for your entertaining voyages.
You’re welcome! 😊
Great idea getting the solar panels....them locks gates looked heavy...thanks for sharing
They were very heavy! 😅

I agree...the music is always good :)

Yes, we are loving the solar already!

Lol, don’t you start!
Nice to see you on the move again. Not running from the in-laws, are you? Glad you got sew-la. 😊
OH NO the kitchen posse is loose on the cut again, good to see. Both of you and now the boat soaking in the sun's rays, good for you and hope all works out.
Thanks! 😁
Nicely done.
Enjoyed the artistic close-ups of lock hardware, lock walls, banks. Sets the scene. Brings us viewers along for the ride.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Lovely vlog guys.
Thanks 😊
Good evening, you forgot to tell us if your panels work well and if you are happy with your investment, beautiful vlog, beautiful views
That should be in next week’s vlog! 😁
Another lovely vlog.
It's clear that you are popular as TH-cam makes me watch three mandatory adverts with no skipout option before I get to see your stories. Which are still great..ta incidentally...
( anyone know of a good ad zap app? )
Gives me time to refill my coffee mug.
Three??!! Wow...

Oh, totally Maggie’s fault... 🤣🤣
great vlog guys,hope the weather stays sunny for your solar,love the hat ryan,can you let me no where i can get one the same please,cheers
Thanks, we bought Ryan’s hat at the Crick Show actually, not sure what the company was...
Oooh my fave Loving Caliber song used again ❤ SO hard to find it to download though :(
Haha, it’s such a good song! 😁
Hi, Adelaidean here :) Have you got a block of butter on the roof at beginning of video? I completely understand trying to get butter spreadable, great idea :)
Haha, yes, yes we do have a block of butter on the roof!! 🤣
Nice vlog
Thanks 😊
I'm so glad to see you back on the move again and with solar too. Boat stands for break out another thousand. Look out for David and Jasmine who are not far ahead of you. Thanks for the nice vlog. Cheers
We were in Aston Marina when David and Jasmine were in the area, so didn’t see them 😊
What are your plans for winter?
We are going to head into a marina, hopefully get some boat maintenance done over that time 😊
all 8 of the locks are done and Ryan is none the worse for wear ! lol
Lol 😂
what difference do solar panels make to your electricity use....
In the summer, we don’t need to run our engine at all to get the energy back that we’ve used during the night, which is amazing - otherwise we normally have to run our engine at least about 3-4 hours per day.
When you have the camera pointed forward, it must be almost at eye level because I catch myself unconsciously ducking my head at bridge holes out of habit.🤪 You must have the cut mostly to yourselves about now...
Hahaha 🤣😂 yep, it is held at head-height!
DO LIKE YOUR MUSIC ON YOUR VLOGS
THANKS
Good to see you up and away again. Deja vu on the leaving, did you have the chemtrails over you last time.....? :-)
Definitely a déjà vu feeling!
What happened to Basil and his friends?! Oh, BTW, if you ever use the Shropshire Union, there are now two Asian supermarkets in Chester.
Basil... Basil took a swim... 😬 The rest are still there!
@@NarrowboatChef 😆
I think the problem is that Maggie weighs about as much as a couple of feet of the swing beam, much less the gate.
Lol, could be that 😂
True I would not recommend two Aussies taking a runer from the mariner. Rien what can be said, that Maggie needs good rump development to make ease of then locks. Not saying man is naturally better. But we are. cheer on the vlog
So who's ahead of whom between you and Cruisingthecut ??????
For this stretch of the canal, we think CC was ahead of us
@@NarrowboatChef That's what I'd suspected but I felt you'd travelled further - so you might even have passed him !
Wow, super surprins! You have energie, you are independent! Vive la liberte! 🗽 Please, make a trai whit oshawa on the board, for detoxication, for a eco life!
Hi both nice vlog and weather don’t know how I have missed this on what size is your solar panels? Sounds like the bearings were on there way out glad you got sorted out take care 😀👍
Yep, all sorted now. The panels are 245 watts each 😊
Narrowboat Chef nice should help a lot with power when you are mored up 😀😀👍
nice program music guys who's the music chooser I'd guess Maggie because the music sounds very bouncy and emotional which often a girls style of music chose I'm country fan so not criticizing Ryan if you're the music chooser.
Yep, it’s Maggie - Maggie does mostly everything to do with the videos! 😅
Well come to free electric. Let us know how it's going will you.
Haha, thanks! Loving it so far!
:)
