We arrive at Cromwell Lock on the River Trent ready to cruise the tidal section to Torksey Lock and the Fossdyke Navigation built by the Romans.
It's quite a short video as we're also working on the next two videos to be uploaded within the next week. Three videos in a week! You lucky folk 🤣

Just catching up on one or two of your videos of missed at Cromwell lock on the river Trent at the other side is a little Beach I’ve played on that beach as a child. Nice to see it Again
Rich use the Jock Strap on your life Jacket Naughty Boy !!!!! Well done Fran for using yours , Tell Him Fran.
Brilliant video quality at 4K. The rain looked like snow flakes so the combination of aperture and speed must have been just right for the rain segment. Thanks for a excellence vlog.
Thanks 👍
What beautiful music to go with the beauty of the land.
That's what I call stress free living, very nice ..
I love how you said the heatwave probably wouldn’t happen! Luckily, we were on the Norfolk Broads that week, and while it was jolly hot, cooler than it would have been at home. The hottest day we managed to find a wild mooring under shade of trees. Isn’t this boating lark wonderful.
It is wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it. The Norfolk Broads are wonderful

This is the first time I have ever left a comment anywhere! The most interesting and beautiful video I have seen of a canal
Thank you so much
All the peace and the beautifull views.
So nice!🌻
Beautiful country side scenery. It is so relaxing to watch these travel episodes. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Have a Blessed day.
You're welcome
Beautiful scenery, this country has such amazing engineering across the waterways. Thank you Guys. Ps I'll be seeing boatman Benjamin (Captain thrust) next week, I hope he behaves himself 🤣
Oops I am watching these out of order. "take a journey into time...." Like those drone shots.
The walk , from the Torksey Lock, is beautiful for taking our dog for a walk. We were hoping to walk all the way to Saxilby, but haven't ventured that yet. Lovely video.
That would be a lovely walk
Lovely music, and stunning drone footage! That’s a good looking boat you were following 😂👍
Lovely people what own it.
Stunningly beautiful scenery, filming and views etc. that was amazing. Little taste of paradise. Thank you for taking us with you.
Thanks for taking us on this beautiful River Trent adventure and it's great to see that you are both (and the doggies) are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Our pleasure!
I just love watching you guys , Fran and rich the way you share your lives with us is truly amazing , the sights and sounds of nature are only found on the canals ...I am jealous but ine day I will be a canal river cruise..cheers folks , Tom in ohio ❤️
You need to do it
@@FloatingOurBoat soon my friends soon
I read somewhere that the Romans built the Foss Dyke to gain access to the Trent and then the Yorkshire rivers and places like York etc. Really enjoying your journeys and adventures.
I'm sure that is what we read when we were there. Glad you are enjoying it
Yes that was fun loving vlog to go to bed on thanks good night.
I really enjoyed the pretty red flowers in front of the bow camera. :)
Thank you. It is a gerbera.
Lovely music and scenery!
Excellent vlog and excellent editing! Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Safe travels love all your videos you post such a lovely couple you both are
Thank you so much x
Great Drone footage, well done.
Hi guys.
It's all a bit too flat... Give me some hills to look at, any day.
Stock up on sun screen, it's going to be a scorcher. ☀☀☀
All the best.
We are already looking forward to hills
Beautiful to see, you vlogs always give us a buzz, we cannot wait to start our journeys. Thank you for another lovely Vlog xxx
you are welcome
I can’t decide which I like more.. canal cruising or river… great vlog💜
It is just nice to have a change now and then
Really nice scenery great video rich and fran can't wait until the Boston one your video are so interesting 👍
The Boston video will be ready in just a few days.
Good video w beautiful scenery
Great music thank you
Great video Fran & Rich, and love how your clothing colours compliment each other. 💗💗🙋♀️🙋♀️
Hello dear how are you doing?
Lovey place. Wonderful shots. Thanks again for taking us to these marvelous places. 💜 (quick edit: the music choices are always spot on .. well done.)
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Fran and Rich, lovely quality video. I did envy that rain, we’ve had 31.1 on the 11th and 31.2 on the 12th, can’t remember when it last rained here in Bognor Regis. Thank you.
Unfortunately it only lasted about half an hour. We all need some more.
Acoustic guitar music😊🎵🎶goes very well with the surroundings. Good choice 🙏
Glad you like it
There are some free moorings in the village of Saxilby which has a few shops

I thought I recognized that other narrowboat seen in several bits of video. As well as the two people at the stern! Glad you made it through so successfully and that you’ve got a plan for the next part of your cruise. See you then!
We spent quite a while with Caroline and Pete and had a great time. Lovely people
@@FloatingOurBoat I certainly have been enjoying their narrowboat vlog as well!
Lovely Canal and river 😍
Many thanks
Thankyou
Beautiful thank you xx
Thank you! 😊
Plans and rules are there to be broken. 😱😘😉
Absolutely
Very calm and relaxing to watch this. Thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
Brilliant as always, thanks..
Glad you enjoyed it
We love your adventures and fun to be on a bigger body of water for a change? What are you harvesting and cooking lately? Love you two…❤️🦔🤠
There were so many blackberries and Horseradish near Boston as well as a plantation of apples and pears, but unfortunately not ripe yet. We are not permitted to dig up roots without permission so I tried the horseradish greens which I loved, but too bitter for Rich. I loved your pickle recipe which I will make if I can get some small cucumbers.
@@FloatingOurBoat Horseradish sounds amazing! Thank you, and hope the pickles turn out! Small batches are fun!❤️🦔🤠
Hi Fran Rich,that was a nice cruise along the Trend very interesting how did the boat go against the tide? It’s a huge river how you finding the water shortage is it affecting you trip ,did you say you going to Lincoln that’s a beautiful city,well great blog most enjoyable till next time take care by the way great drone shots I love them you can see so much,John 💕🌹🤝🇬🇧🌞👀😂🥵🥵
We only went against the tide for a short while but the boat coped well on this stretch. I think we have been in the right place while the water is so low, but we did have a problem later on in the journey. Keep watching over the next week or so!!!!!
Love you guys, and nice guitar music.
Thank you
Such a lovely vlog, always insightful and drone footage is amazing. So grateful we could share the journey with you xx
It was great to cruise with you and we're missing you now. We had some great times. Now, get your drone up 😏
Great vlog, enjoy traveling virtually with you two. Glad you're managing to stay cool. Stay safe!
Glad you enjoy our journeys
Glad you navigated the tidal Trent without problems. As always, a lovely video. Looking forward to the next one!
Lovely. Wish I was there. ha
Thank you, R and F I often feel envious of your lifestyle but never more than during this horrid heat wave, London has been just awful. Thanks again for a lovely trip down the Trent.
We have definitely been in the best place on the river. I hate to think what London was like.
Amazing drone footage and so well presented! Always a pleasure to watch your vlogs. Keep 'em coming🙏. Happy cruising xxx
Thank you, we will.
Calmer waters where you are now on the canal. ( someone I know spotted you) Look out for the kingfishers with it being so quiet. Enjoy this lovely canal.
Thank you for being discrete. We are absolutely loving it, Wouldn't mind if we had to stay here all winter.
Hi Fran & Rich, I must say you look really good in your smart colourful PFd's
Another interesting vlog beautifully filmed especially the Drone bits .
You're in foreign territory for me although I have visited Cambridge way back in my history .
I hear from various sources that water levels are way down due to the drought and many canals have restrictions. So thanks once more for a nice vlog ,stay safe stay afloat ,mind the sandbanks.
Take care until next time.
Cheers from Canada and me
Thank you so much 🙂. The water levels are low and many canals suffering so it is probably a good thing we have been on rivers.
Nice production Rich. Good balance of video only, piece to camera, drone footage and video panning. I like the music as well.
Thank you
Loved the vlog, and your music choice is spot on. !!!
Beautiful voyage Fran and Rich, calm. peaceful and flowers on board are delightful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again for the journey of a lifetime. I really enjoyed it. Beautiful country. God bless youns. Take care until next time.
Glad you enjoyed it
So good to see you back! Sad thing, you couldn’t forage.
We did pick fruit and horseradish in Boston but nothing to film really
You were in the States, lol. I hope it was a great trip.
ty nice music akso
Perfect vlog for watching with my morning coffee and cat on my lap! Thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you! Happy weekend!
exciting
Go on a river they said. Its fun they said. Yes well maybe...🤣
The River Great Ouse is fabulous!
@@jillosler9353 I'm stuck on the River Weaver right now so staying off them for a bit 🤣
Never listen to 'them'!
@@FloatingOurBoat I'll do rivers as long as boat lifts aren't involved !
That looks like a beautiful place to travel guys. Lovely to see your smiling faces. Stay safe and say hi to Jess & Archie plz xx
🧡🧡🧡🧡
Lovely video, as always. Stay safe on your travels xxx
Beautiful vlog such an interesting cruise. Love your vlogs keep them up XXX
Ooooo….. Look at you with your Fancy editing to the Music Skills at the beginning Rich 😂😂 Your Getting Really Good at this Editing Lark lad 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😁 I'm enjoying messing about with the music and video.
Well done.loved the scenery.little frightening at time but ive never been on a boat😄but so love watching you both.enjoy the hot weather😡🌟
Rivers can be scary. This river gets faster and scarier as we move on
Great start to my Saturday morning, thank you. AJ
good vid on cut thanks lee
Thanks 👍
What a different experience a river is! Such a frightening weir. The drought and the heat are creating a scorcher of a summer. I hope you are managing to find cool spots for yourselves and the dogs.
The weir was incredible especially from above. We have a lovely shady mooring for a few days now so are keeping beautifully cool
Looks like you can go faster there lol 😂
It is so fast when you are going with the flow, but we went against it a few days ago and almost stopped!
Great trip!! Thanks!!
This is a lovely video. Over too soon! l will watch it again. The shots of the weir and water at Torksey Lock show just how powerful water can be! .Try to find some shade for yourselves and the dogs and do nothing for the next few days!
Thanks you two
PS, and so much water,
Just so lovely,,,,, Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovey to see you bothe and a lovey place it looks and peaceful happy candling and rivers good look and all for now all the best
Stunning in every respect. Looks like paradise. Lovely vlog. Stay cool. Best wishes
Thank you so much 😊
Well done, another great vlog, enjoyed the views.
Thanks 👍
Excellent video, wonderful to experience that trip on the tidal Trent, a thing we never managed when boating. Thanks for sharing.
But don't miss Lincoln on the way back. The Brayford is a lovely place now, and walk up steep hill to the cathedral and see if you can find the 'imp'
Haven't quite got my head around how there are weirs on a tidal river, or have I misunderstood that?
There are no weirs after this lock where the river becomes tidal. This is the last lock and the weir drops the level of the river
Thank you. Hope the heatwave is not too severe.
We always manage to stay cool and rest up
Are you familiar with a DJ Peter Evans Jones? He is on the radio from Oxfordshire. He is a fan of my daughter's recordings (Jan James). In fact he has a box of her cd's.
Hope your going further on the trent.
The next one will be out very soon.
Have listened to news reports about canal water levels, have you been blocked from entering certain sections of canals and what’s it like cruising in this heat ps: hope your still enjoying your self
We have been ok as we were on rivers but have had to change plans a little as some canals ahead of us are closed
@@FloatingOurBoat sorry to hear that
I need to know about washing machines on narrowboats, is yours a washer dryer? Which did you buy? Help? New inexperienced buyer.
We just went for a basic washing machine which uses less water. No dryer as it would eat to much energy unless you are plugged in a marina. On the last boat we managed really well with a camping twin tub.
@@FloatingOurBoat thanks guys. Got to select the right one to send to Elton moss for our new boat!
Think you are safer and better on the rivers as water levels are dropping like made at the moment
Hi fran hi rich when your not in a marina how do you know where you can and can't Moore up for free and where you have to pay and for how long you can and can't stay hope that makes sense it won't be long for me now I've been looking for a boat now fair play to you both english countryside absolutely beautiful 👍👍
You can generally moor anywhere on canals for free for up to two weeks unless there is a sign saying otherwise. Rivers are different as there are shallow banks and nowhere to moor onto unless there are pontoons/
Thanks fran thanks rich bice seeing going past the ash tree pub in Rugeley loving this video scenery is beautiful 👍👍
you are away too long x
I just love watching you guys , Fran and rich the way you share your lives with us is truly amazing , the sights and sounds of nature are only found on the canals ...I am jealous but ine day I will be a canal river cruise..cheers folks , Tom in ohio ❤️
