  • We have a narrow escape as our narrowboat is swept out of control on our Mersey crossing as a freaky current takes hold of us in Eastham Lock. We leave Liverpool's Salthouse Dock with Fran and Rich from @FloatingOurBoat, heading back over the Mersey Estuary towards Ellesmere Port and the National Waterways Museum.
    We get a visit from the RNLI Lifeboat as we cross the busy River Mersey during the annual Royal Mersey Yacht Club Regatta, and we have a go at stand-up paddleboarding!
    Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

    4. Colin.... I know I’ve alluded to this before but you amaze me every time. You .. are.. TRULY gifted !!! Not to diminish all the hard work you put into these vlogs, but you have a gift!! You are an artist. You have a vision and you create these amazing pieces. I’m on TH-cam all day ( no, I don’t have a life!) and you are the best vlogger out there. If they gave out Golden Globes for this, you’d have a case full! It’s so hard to put into words. The half hour flies by and you leave us craving more! Thank you soooo much for sharing your gift with us!
    You both brighten many people’s lives from all over the world! 😘😘🌟🌟👍🏻👍🏻💟💟💕💕

      @@walkerclinton1626 we had our last dog until he was 16 years old he was a Portuguese water hound, absolutely beautiful dog, we still miss him☹️ and he left us five years ago, haven't been able to get another dog as my wife and I are pretty much unable to take a dog out, due to my wife's dodgy knees and my knackered back, Oscar the water hound was my daughter's dog, when she left to study musical theatre in the UK, Oscar was already an old dog, it was hard to watch his last year's, it became so difficult for him to get about, many would have taken him to the vet a couple of years earlier, but it was too difficult, when he finally did go he had had a heart attack and literally was in a very sad state, it broke my heart to have to say goodbye, hardest thing I ever had to do!
      That's another reason I find it hard get another dog, when we eventually move to UK and have a house in the countryside and a boat on the canal I would love another dog, but we're not getting younger. Who knows😊

    I have been meaning to post this for a couple of days - though "MilliesMom M" somewhat beat me to it. Excellent video; thank you so much. On Fran & Rich's video I had already seen you using your long pole to good effect (Ooh! Matron!) and to see the results - shots aside the boat as it sped-along and of the front ploughing through the water - wow. And, from the previous video, sitting atop the roof for a fantastic headshot narration. Etc, etc - so many excellent cinematic techniques employed but never as cleverness; always to enhance the narration. Then we come to the amazing research you do - so informative; so well threaded into the journey; so beautifully presented. I do not know a better YT channel on travel which weaves superb filming and history/travel information as well as you do - it is definitely broadcast-quality standard. Then again, it is better than tv because it has the informal, personal moments which really enhance it. Brilliant chaps. Again, thank you; an absolute joy to watch and we have learnt so much.

  • @WildOwlFilms
    @WildOwlFilms 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Excellent vlog once again. Delighted you decided to backtrack as suggested to go and visit the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port on the Shropshire Union canal. BTW Henry Berry who you mentioned in this episode, was the engineer who designed the Sankey Navigation/ St Helens Canal ( the first canal of the industrial age built in the 1750's just before the Bridgewater Canal). This canal begins at Spike Island in Widnes on the opposite bank of the Mersey from Marsh Lock on the Weaver Navigation. Boats can enter the canal at Spike Island but its a tricky passage plan to get there. Sadly only small sections of it are in water today so its not possible to travel more than a few hundred metres on the Sankey beyond Spike Island. The Cuddington moored at the museum is a River Weaver packet boat and is named after the Cheshire Village of Cuddington which is near to Northwich where the boat was built. Have fun on the travels.

    So delighted to see Otis having a fab time, nose sniffing at all the sailing sights and sounds. He deserved you -and you deserved him after all the lows…
    I lost my 16 year old dog, Georgie, whilst under solo lockdown. I barely coped. Now have ( very) lively puppy… He just about saved my mental health - I was on the brink…
    I used to have a narrow boat, but now in flat in London and you guys are my chance to imagine I’m still on the water. The work you put into these videos is amazing.
    Happy sailing you lovely pair - and Otis!

    Good heavens this is a distant memory. In 1969 l was on Shell tanker SS Asperella carrying chemicals into Ellesmere port.. we were held up at Eastham Lock because the canal pilots were on strike. l cant remember how long we were held up know. .l was supposed to pay off at Liverpool which gave me a chance to get home for a school friends wedding. Alas it wasn't to be. Fifty five years later its still fresh in my mind...Oh! they are still married..

    Oh my goodness! When that current started to swing you and Laura Maisie out of the way and into those seriously touch Lock sides, it was a heart-in-the-mouth moment. Almost a now-I-need-to-change-my-pants moment! I think you were right Colin, I think staying back a few minutes to let the swirls go would have been advisable. I know the Pilot said it would be OK but with all his experience he should have been ready for water swirling like that. I wasn't there but that is what it looks like from my monitor. And that quick, "Howdy" from the Lifesaving guys. What a cool boat and how cool for them to drop in and check on you. What great guys, what a wonderful Service to the Nation.
    So, you spent a week in Liverpool. You did a lot of messing around but did you get to see all you wanted to see?
    Your Outtakes were some of the best. You really stuffed up so badly at times. "The National Rail Museum". Classic! It didn't take long and sure enough, there it was, Shaun's classic line, "You can't say that!" I just love it all.
    Take care, hug that lovely young Otis for me. See you next week. Cheers.

    As a maritime photographer, I have never been on the MSC and I watched this episode a couple of weeks ago which heightened my curiosity about it and incredibly a few days ago I got a call from the MD of Carmet tugs asking me to join one of their crews at Eastham (MSC Viking) and spend the day photographing their operations on the Canal, what a day it was and I finally got to see this great engineering wonder from new angles and was awestruck at the towing operations particularly to the size ratio from ship to tug, and all done on a fiddly little cable, incredible, what a day, I can totally relate to your passion for living on the water more so now.
