    I never run out of gas as I have a spare bottle and I never run out of diesel as I always have a spare jerrycan full of the stuff.

    Hi Marina & Myles-
    Another lovely film. I really enjoy your orators voice and story telling. And I particularly enjoy your calligraphy scenes too. Perhaps you can film more of these?
    It’s all very peaceful viewing. It’s like stepping back in time and taking life at a more steady and thoughtful pace.
    Kind regards,
    Sophie

    Hello guys 😊 thank u for a great vlog, so full of interesting facts and shots of Bath. I remember when l use to caravan and run out of gas l would end up cooking on a bbq and heating water for drinks it happens to us all. Even now l still cook meals on my wood burner. How peaceful the canal looked in the morning with the frosty air and scenic canal, when l was a child l would pretend I was smoking with my frosty breath 😂 how seeing u and ur frosty breath brought back child hood memories 😊. Thanks again have a safe week ahead and hopefully a smooth one on Alba. Xx💜👍

    Just find a long stick to dip your fuel tank, so you know what the level is. Also need to be careful you don't end up sucking up water from the tank when you get low. If you have a primary fuel filter there is normally a screw or tap to drain of the water from the filter. Couldn't you check with other boaters if they had a spare full gas cylinder and replace it when the fuel boat came along

    Sorry for the lecture but you really ought to keep the diesel tank as full as possible especially in winter to avoid diesel bug. If you keep a note of the engine hours you will be able to work out how much you have used at roughly 1 litre per hour. Some lovely frosty shots. Good luck with the blacking. I'm having mine done at the beginning of May.

      Hi Julie, we ended up in Bath only because we moved for services every so often and as you see at the beginning of this video we moved a couple of miles only because we couldn’t stay in the previous mooring for any longer (it was a 48hr mooring by the services). The restrictions are still here, so moving for repairs and services only, but luckily the slow journey did take us to Bath in the end!

At the start of the vlog you mentioned the moorings only being 2 days max stay. Are they not increased to 14 days in the winter or are we far enough into spring already for that to have stopped?

    Just a couple of points I wanna raise. Firstly, invest in a little camping stove. Inexpensive and takes up next to no room. Quite adequate to boil water for coffee or a pot noodle, etc. A life-saver here when power cuts happen. Secondly, do you really need Himalayan salt? Some of these rumours of global warming and carbon footprint blahblahblah might turn out to be true and I'll blame the ppl that buy salt from Pakistan. Having said that, my wife insists on tomatoes, celery and peaches all year round without even looking at the packaging until I started using a South African accent..... all day!! LOL Stay safe you 2.

    Good Nz morning Marina and Myles. Hopefully you didn't have to pay for the callout, just to be told you have an empty diesel tank. You really need someone to offer some good and practical advice.
    1. ALWAYS ALWAYS keep your diesel tank full. Particularly through the winter. If not you'll have problems with condensation in which the diesel bug develops. A special additive in the diesel helps.
    Condensation (H2O) and diesel don't mix. Carry a dipstick...yes that's what it's called, to dip the amount of fuel you have. If you had a fuel guage, that would have been better. Get in the habit of checking your fuel filter. And other filters. It's called maintenance. If only you'd met up with other kiwi boaters, they would have dropped everything to help. Cost you nothing. That's what we're like. Problem being Covid 19. Noone over there.
    2. Cooking over a fire box is simple. However I noticed you had the fan running. That sends heat "away" from the stove. While you're cooking, you need the heat AT the stove top. Next time, my advice would be to disconnect the fan.
    3. Last but not least. Gas supply. As soon as one cylinder empties, turn it upside down, and that will remind you to fill it at the next available supply depot. And no, it's not dangerous being upside down. It's a good idea to have 1 full cylinder spare at all times.
    If I was physically with you, I'd be saying the same as I've written. Just advising you..making your life easier. Please be aware, I'm talking TO you. Not AT you. I'm loving your channel. I'm staying with you, if you'll have me. Huge thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe. Atb from down here in Nz.

    • @CruisingAlba
      @CruisingAlba  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey lovely thank you so much for your advice!
      1. Yes we know this only happened cause the fuel boat wasnt running for over a month. Normally the fuel tank is full!
      2. Good point, that was my first ever attempt. I wont be doing that again if i dont have to as it made the room colder (it was a cold say)
      3. Our gas locker is so tiny and requires a lot of manuevering so the best thing is not to touch it. Unfortunately we run out of gas because of two consequential misforutnes what are the chances? (we have three gas canisters) Hoping this wont ever happen again
      Have a good weekend 🥰

    Myles and Marina, a great Vlog as always. A few challengers along the way for you this week, but you sorted them, and it was great being on the journey with you both. Does a narrowboat not have a fuel gauge? Or do you dip stick it to gauge the level of diesel left? All very interesting. I hope you got your Gas in the end. Did Myles ride back on his scooter with a full gas cylinder? A really enjoyable watch. Take care.

      Thanks lovely! No we don’t have the fuel gauge and yes we used the dipstick however it showed us 1/4 of a tank 🤷🏻‍♀️

      @CruisingAlba  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Rod, thank you for watching! We move the boat first and then get on electric scooter or a foldy bike and go get the car. Usually we don’t go too far. Both scooter and bike fit in the boot, then we move the car. We only had the car on the K&A and found parking very easy. A little bit of research and google maps work wonders. The car stays in one place for weeks.

    Running out of fuel and gas is just bad management on your part. Bath has fuel stations.

    The instant someone says, "It all started on an average Saturday morning," you know something not average is going to follow, otherwise they would not have used the word 'average' in that.

    • @scottfw7169
      @scottfw7169 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Uh-oh, the incense lighter being out of fuel is a foreshadowing of non-average events to follow ...

      Maybe it is just an effect of me being autistic but Marina with her hair tied back looked like a totally different person there in the clip of getting the bicycle off the bow.

    • @scottfw7169
      @scottfw7169 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, had somehow gotten it in my (American) head that Bath, England, was a seaport: maybe I carried over that concept because Bath, Maine, is?
      But I'm also a railroad fan and remember the Bath and Hammondsport RR in New York where Bath, NY, was not the port.
      Anyway, looking at Bath, England, on Google Maps satellite view, can see a store between A36 and River Avon I'd like to go to, Hobbycraft Bath.

      Myles with the gas canister on the scooter is hilarious to watch although it might not have been totally hilarious to do at the time. :)

      Hi Owen! We do. On that day the car was miles away as the luck would have it, so we explored the easier options first ✌️
