Due to construction work, I currently have a busy bus stop on my doorstep. So yesterday I took a 65 "display and installed it in the kitchen window. Then I ran this video from 6:30 am to noon. On average there were a dozen or so people with their backs to the bus stop. Some have probably missed their bus. This morning 5x people rang the bell and asked why there is no river video today. I think that is high praise for you.
I’m sure many have said they enjoy the “not a vlogs”. But I find them so beneficial to personal health. Just cruising along as if I were there in your well deck watch the birds. Like the heron that flew just before Calf Heath Bridge No 77. Wow so peaceful. 😎👍
I have been a fan of his VLOG virtually since the beginning. Given that I live in a huge country totally bereft of narrowboats, and personally reside in the nearly flat state of KANSAS with almost no natural lakes (but several large reservoirs) and few suitable rivers, I find it relaxing, enjoyable and informative. I am among your most loyal followers. The closest thing to narrowboating in the USA is houseboating, including its basic and most economical form, SHANTYBOATING - a growing hobby in the Southern part of the country. Shantyboats are at most 20 ft long, 8 ft, wide, very basic construction and powered by a small outboard motor. It's one big room, perhaps a curtained private area, a small heating and cooking stove, rudimentary kitchen and the rest is sleeping and living. Shantyboaters spend a lot of time chattering on CB radios. Smaller used units can be had for $2,000 dollars or less. Most are self-built and look like it, and this is part of their charm for devotees. Houseboating, on the other hand, can include large "homes on the water" and the US is full of suitable lakes and reservoirs. I am a few hundred miles from the legendary Lake of the Ozarks, a very large, wide dammed section of river with many tributaries with thousands of miles of shoreline. Some popular models can be 100 ft long, 12 ft or more. wide and have all the amenities of a fancy wide narrowboat, and some extreme models can run $250,000 A suitable family boat for summer use may be 32 ft long, 8 ft. wide and sell used for $50,000 including a trailer. Family-sized boats are trailerable and can be moved from location to location over the road, often with an ordinary pickup truck. None of what we have here, however, is comparable to the closeness, comradery and unique historical heritage land subculture of narrowboating in the UK. I, among many others, envy you for this. Your lifestyle is very appealing to many Americans but entirely unavailable here in the US. I've checked out most of the regular narrowboat VLOGS and for my tastes CRUISING THE CUT is by far the best (aside from the dearth of attractive young ladies). I have watched every one of them and have learned so very much, not just about narrowboating but many other things as well. Thank you ever so much for what you have given us here in the USA. I am watching one of your longer slow-moving VLOGS without dialogue as I write this. Laird Wilcox
Another relaxing cruise along the network. I love watching these on my 32inch TV with no other lights on and a glass of wine beside me. It truly is like I'm sitting at the bow riding along with you. Stay safe and many more happy hours of cruising, David.
Hi David, I just wanted to say that your videos have become a regular and great resource in dealing with the stresses of CV19. About 2 weeks ago, while having difficulty sleeping, I put my laptop on the bed next to me, and started one of the Slow TV "Not-a-vlogs" at a low volume.Watching the video, I was son asleep. Feeling transported to the canals of the UK has become one of my regular stress reducers (& not just while trying to sleep!).
Before I stumbled over your blog, I didn't even knew that Britain has a canal net, the canal and river trust and huge amounts and different kinds of traditional narrow boats and boaters. I remember one Peep Show episode where Mark and Jeremy drove one, but as a Kraut I did not realise the huge cultural importance. I'm a little bored and maybe burned out, sick of society, corona hystery and despotism and am dreaming from sort of a van life. Whenever the weather is good I pick my bike and the tent and drive through the landscape, sleeping in various places. This channel is pure relaxation and education for me, when the weather is not bike worthy and maybe, just maybe, you'll become one of the reasons for me to migrate to Britain and become a boater myself one day.
Thank you so much for these "slow tv" videos. We are playing them now in our clinic waiting room. This is a military town and as you can imagine current events have left folks anxious and unsettled. Your videos calm patients and clients, they put down their phones and you can just see the stress leave them if only for a few minutes. I plan to add the bread making video next week for some humor. Anyone who inquires is referred to your TH-cam channel and urged to subscribe. ❤
I was just thinking a few days ago how nice it would be to have a long, uncut video of the canals. There are already a bunch of train trips like this on youtube, but it's quite nice to see what the actual cruising is like.
Greetings from Oklahoma, USA - Found your channel a while back and have been really enjoyed learning about the canals in the UK. Something I truly never knew existed until seeing your channel. Keep up the great work!
I live half a world away, despise canals, and my boat has 175hp for an 18ft hull. Yet, I can not get enough of your channel. I feel as if you need to have James May come visit you...
Oh my. I am binge watching your vlogs - so helpful to us as part of our planning (hope to be living on the cut soon). Then you give me this. Oh my. Beautiful, so very beautiful. Played over and over through an 8 hour working day. Best day ever. 😘
David, I enjoy all your videos and wait on pins and needles for the next one to come out. I have a beef with youtube. I have the bell activated to get news when your videos come out but they are not notifying me. It's very aggravating.
I believe TH-cam say they deliberately don't always notify even if you have selected to be because they think it will overload people with notifications and therefore turn them against YT!
@@CruisingTheCut Well that is a disgrace, I count on my notifications. By the way, I thank you so very much for going to the time and trouble to make these marvelous videos free to the public. I am disabled and living on social security and unable to travel. Thanks to you, I can!
I greatly appreciate these videos where I can just be alone with my thoughts while slowing down to get ready for bed. Thanks for doing the steering :) Ronn
David, Thank you for the lovely cruise this afternoon. I very much enjoyed sitting at the front of the boat while I worked on putting my courses online for Fall semester. You probably didn’t notice me sitting up there but I assure you I was earning my keep shooing those nervy swans out of the boat’s path. I could have used a cup of tea but would have felt rude going in and helping myself. Maybe next trip I will announce my visit and bring along lunch. Thanks again for such a nice trip. Linda
Thank you for posting in this format. It is so peaceful sometimes just to experience the sights and sounds. I've watched you for years and enjoyed the commentary and insights.
We love your real time vlogs, especially when over waterways we have also travelled, albeit a long time ago. Many thanks for this and keep up the good work! Bruce & Susan
I've saved this, looking forward fore my widebeam being built. Can't wait for this life out of brick. The vidoe is great man, keep it up, its relaxing and very peaceful thanks.
I genuinely put this on and read "Just the natural sounds" just as the ice cream van drove into my street playing it's jingle! Took me a minute to realise it wasn't from the video!
Just starting chemo. This is so therapeutic,. I,m going to get speakers on each side of my bed to experience the full delight of these slow vlogs. Thanks
Hi David, i have to say i am a fan of ctc, so nice to be able to put on a you tube video without having to hear profanity or aggressive , derogatory comments. thank you for the videos, cheers...
Watching this if you're stressed out has an immediate calming effect.. Simply stunning scenery and you've done a wonderful job bringing it to so many of us David!
Thankyou David Once again, I imagine myself sat in your welldeck, just watching the world go by , not worrying about who built that bridge , and just admiring it for a change, just let the imagination run wild , and see the world through child eyes. Exploring with your mind as you gently cruise around the canals of Great Britain.......thankyou once again for the experience. Mick.
Here in the states we do not have canal boats and canals crisscrossing across our nation. It must be fantastic to cruise from one location to another by those boats. Also what surprises me is homes built on the canal are very close to the canal. I know it must be a great way of life.
I do dream of having a life that you portray in this youtube channel! I find it infinityfascinating. I wish we had kept our canals here in the US. Thank you for continuing to post these. I do so love your Vlogs I hope you are not growing tired of it! Thank you!
This is the first I have seen of Cruising The Cut and I have watched several episodes in a row now. Lovely Discussion and as Dungeon Master it has certainly given me several ideas for some adventures. Wonderful world the English Canals. Perhaps one day I will get to visit them. Keep up the lovely work and I do hope you write that canal book.
Thank you so much from Peoria, Arizona USA, this is so much help while living in the desert and sitting in the office working while getting to listen to your journey in the canals. So wonderful, water, birds, boats, a plane, traffic off in the distance. 👍👍 really, thank you.
CTC... Thanks for a nice video. I'm from the USA and cruised the Avon Ring 'cut'. I use your cruising videos at gatherings to show what Cruising the Cut is really like. This vid demonstrates the experience well. I never tire of the reflections, especially the bridges and tunnel entry and exits.
This made my night. I've had to stay up late for work and this video gave my eyeballs a periodic rest and my ears something much lovelier than keyboard sounds. Cheers!
Wow, I’m not stressed out anymore. This is so incredibly relaxing and what I love most is the sound of the wood pigeons cooing in the background. I grew up in England and that sound takes me back more than anything else, because we don’t have them here in Canada. I love it
Now just imagine this with chug, chug, chug of an old timey two cylinder engine.... Great video and very relaxing...thanks Dave! *Edit:* One hour in and I am nodding off to sleep (so relaxing with the gentle drone of the engine), but then I hear the revs drop and I'm awake again to see what is coming up....just passing a moored boat....hope I didn't miss anything! 👍 Made it to the end...lovely trip.....thank you!
Now that's the way to spend a warm summers evening! A gin and tonic and two and a half hours of cruising, sat in a comfy chair while somebody else does all the work! There's nothing on television that can ever match this!😁xx
half the p[easure of your vlogs is you speaking, and I missed this on this vlog you are humorous, and never hesitate; besides giving us a wonderful insight on all the fascinating places that you pass through so please let's hear your voice
Michael Grunsfeld Maybe we could vote on our favourite comment. Mine is the one about “Don’t jump across the lock gates. I do it but I’m an idiot!” Classic that.
Reminds me of when I was young and we used to tube the local river a beautiful slow current a cooler of drinks and sandwiches , easy on mind and great for your soul ! Cheers from Tennessee
Greetings! We discovered your videos in the last six months and have enjoyed so many of them, especially the slow TV ones! We are stuck here in America still in quarantimes as it is still not safe for us to venture out and I have agoraphobia as well. Your videos have been a calming part of our nightly routine of oatcakes and cheese, a cup of tea, and a cruise on the cut for some months now and I do wish you’d make more of the slow tv ones! We’ve tried others but I fear we’re used to the sound of your engine, ha! Thanks for bringing some needed peace to our overstimulated modern lives, I owe you a cup and a cheese sandwich! Cheers!
Thanks for these, David, they are lovely to have on in the background while I'm puttering around my home studio doing set-up or strike, or even when I'm editing (I mute the audio when I need to listen). It's very relaxing, even better than a gin & tonic. Cheers!
This is one of the best vlogs yet. Since when does a vlog have to have commentary and music? This just shows how peaceful and mesmerizing riding along the canals can be. Outstanding! Have vlogs like this.
There are too many people trying to make a living with narrowboat vlogs nowadays. I have "narrowed" it down to just a handful that I consider worthy of following. Of course, you fall into that category ;-)
Due to construction work, I currently have a busy bus stop on my doorstep. So yesterday I took a 65 "display and installed it in the kitchen window. Then I ran this video from 6:30 am to noon.
On average there were a dozen or so people with their backs to the bus stop. Some have probably missed their bus.
This morning 5x people rang the bell and asked why there is no river video today.
I think that is high praise for you.
Oh!! That is fantastic!! Do you have a picture (from outside) of this? I'd love to see it.
Unfortunately I didn't take a photo. Taking pictures of people waiting for the bus can be very problematic.
A shame but I can understand that! Cheers
BRILLIANT!
*Morgan Freeman voice* It was right then i realised that my neighbours had a profound addiction to voyeurism .
Just the sound of the water, the engine and the birds is relaxing
My default way to fall asleep.
I’m sure many have said they enjoy the “not a vlogs”. But I find them so beneficial to personal health. Just cruising along as if I were there in your well deck watch the birds. Like the heron that flew just before Calf Heath Bridge No 77. Wow so peaceful. 😎👍

Greetings from Argentina!
I work from home and I watch these in the background. They are very relaxing and always a delight to watch.

I’m so used to a running commentary that I forget that this is really what’s it like. This is so relaxing 😌.
YES yes yes another video to watch and enjoy a 2.5 hour journey on the canal with our favorite Narrow boat Captain, Thank you once again David!
Glad I found your channel! Lived in the UK for 5 years. The most polite, good-natured people you'll ever meet! Love from India!
Thank you so much for posting this, just what I need after a long day in work! I really needed something chill :)

Oh! That is both amusing and wonderful.
This is so beautiful and peaceful. What I would give to move to the UK and live on a Narrow boat. Like everything just slows down. 💕💕💕
Thank you for this (Not-a-vlog) collection! I find these videos to be wonderfully soothing.
Glad you like them!
I have this on in the background whilst I attend Skype meetings - it stops me shouting at people. Please keep making them.
Even when the sky's are grey it doesn't detract from the beauty of the UK countryside. It's just what I needed David. Thanks.

How does it feel knowing that you bring little bits of happiness to people on the other side of the world?
It’s peculiar but delightful. And every now and then any conceit is removed by a troll who’ll comment something vile 😂😂
This is very peaceful. Thank you
Always enjoy the “not a vlog” I can sit for a few minutes here and there and get a nice relaxing Narrowboat fix.. stay safe 💜😷
Thank you for another mesmerizing trip!
it is much improved by being downloaded first.
I live half a world away, despise canals, and my boat has 175hp for an 18ft hull. Yet, I can not get enough of your channel. I feel as if you need to have James May come visit you...

Thank you
I've been waiting for you to post another one of these. Love it. Just made my Monday. Thank you.
Thank you, i just love these, so calming
just watching this takes all the stress away from a rough day, Thanks again and be safe
I can understand why some of the greatest poets came from Great Britain. So much inspiration from this land!

@@CruisingTheCut Perhaps YT should change their bell option to "All... If we feel like it". 😉
I greatly appreciate these videos where I can just be alone with my thoughts while slowing down to get ready for bed. Thanks for doing the steering :) Ronn
Greetings from NE Ohio. Loved this. It is so hard to comprehend that there canals were dug by hand. Enjoyed the bird song. Thanks.
I certainly hope you will continue mixing this type of video into your usual series. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
I literally... watch all of this... for 2 1/2 hours... and loved it all
These peaceful videos are best put on a large TV while relaxing in a recliners letting the day go by :)
I agree but on a 3 inch screen wth a tiny speaker I had rather watch paint dry.
These "not-a-vlog" vlog makes me dreaming of a impossible dream. :)

These are becoming my favorite to give variety to my grueling, long, at home, accounting work days. Keep them up please 👏👏👏👏
I love it. It's so relaxing!
I've saved this, looking forward fore my widebeam being built. Can't wait for this life out of brick. The vidoe is great man, keep it up, its relaxing and very peaceful thanks.
Thank you David! I needed this. Been a stressful week among many, The slow TV narrowboat videos are the perfect antidote.
I genuinely put this on and read "Just the natural sounds" just as the ice cream van drove into my street playing it's jingle! Took me a minute to realise it wasn't from the video!
Lucky to have an ice cream van.
Just starting chemo. This is so therapeutic,. I,m going to get speakers on each side of my bed to experience the full delight of these slow vlogs. Thanks
I hope the treatment goes well for you
best of luck x
Its so relaxing !!! Myself and my wife are seriously thinking about selling up and investing in a live aboard
I could watch this all day! This is great! More of this!
Hi David, i have to say i am a fan of ctc, so nice to be able to put on a you tube video without having to hear profanity or aggressive , derogatory comments. thank you for the videos, cheers...
Aboubslety amazing love just the sounds of the so called white noise or background noise, nature's own orchestra thankyou
It’s lovely to get home from a long day at work, relax on the sofa with a cup of tea and watch this, David. Great work, thanks.
Wonderful - very peaceful and extremely enjoyable.
Watching this if you're stressed out has an immediate calming effect.. Simply stunning scenery and you've done a wonderful job bringing it to so many of us David!
Thank you so much 😀
That is a relaxing trip. I wish we had canals and the narrow boats here in the USA. I could really get into that lifestyle.
There's a lot of inland waterway in the US. Many of the canals have closed though sadly.
Thankyou David Once again, I imagine myself sat in your welldeck, just watching the world go by , not worrying about who built that bridge , and just admiring it for a change, just let the imagination run wild , and see the world through child eyes.

I have a pile of ironing and some beers to consume, now I have something to watch whilst undertaking the above...thank you..
you have kept me sane during confinement i was able to take myself elsewhere and keep hoping for better days thank you
Your vlog came up randomly, now I can't stop watching. Very relaxing to watch on lunch break at work. Thanks 👍
I do dream of having a life that you portray in this youtube channel! I find it infinityfascinating. I wish we had kept our canals here in the US. Thank you for continuing to post these. I do so love your Vlogs I hope you are not growing tired of it! Thank you!
This is the first I have seen of Cruising The Cut and I have watched several episodes in a row now. Lovely Discussion and as Dungeon Master it has certainly given me several ideas for some adventures. Wonderful world the English Canals. Perhaps one day I will get to visit them. Keep up the lovely work and I do hope you write that canal book.
Thank you so much from Peoria, Arizona USA, this is so much help while living in the desert and sitting in the office working while getting to listen to your journey in the canals. So wonderful, water, birds, boats, a plane, traffic off in the distance. 👍👍 really, thank you.
Fantastic! This is incredibly relaxing. Thank you.
CTC... Thanks for a nice video. I'm from the USA and cruised the Avon Ring 'cut'. I use your cruising videos at gatherings to show what Cruising the Cut is really like. This vid demonstrates the experience well. I never tire of the reflections, especially the bridges and tunnel entry and exits.
These videos are great. I watch them multiple times as I listen to podcasts and audio books. Thanks for uploading them :-)
Very relaxing David. Thanks for the ride.
This made my night. I've had to stay up late for work and this video gave my eyeballs a periodic rest and my ears something much lovelier than keyboard sounds. Cheers!
Sooo peaceful 😌. I have been watching the English TV series “Endeavour” and they have shown many screens involving the canals, locks and narrow boats.
WE are watching from Athens Greece. Super.
I love these. Thank you so much.
Yes once again the chaos of the present situation has been soothed ....I am watching in increments ....love it ...thanks so much ....
David , A few hours of sanity in a world gone mad. Wonderful - thanks
Wow, I’m not stressed out anymore. This is so incredibly relaxing and what I love most is the sound of the wood pigeons cooing in the background. I grew up in England and that sound takes me back more than anything else, because we don’t have them here in Canada. I love it
You know, after facing a long day in the burnt hellscape of West Texas, that looks like a slice of heaven.
Now just imagine this with chug, chug, chug of an old timey two cylinder engine....
Great video and very relaxing...thanks Dave!
*Edit:* One hour in and I am nodding off to sleep (so relaxing with the gentle drone of the engine), but then I hear the revs drop and I'm awake again to see what is coming up....just passing a moored boat....hope I didn't miss anything! 👍
Made it to the end...lovely trip.....thank you!
So therapeutic...love this!

But you have - the prior videos are the vlog versions of this same trip.
@@CruisingTheCut aha I did not realize.........thank you
Don’t be greedy Michael 😂👍 I agree with you but here we have the best of both. I came here from vandemonium purely for the the humor.😂

Just the thing to watch if you've a day of stress.
Love the vid! I laughed when the dog at 41:28 pops out from behind the bridge
I love this video, thanks for posting. The peace and quiet is so relaxing.
Reminds me of when I was young and we used to tube the local river a beautiful slow current a cooler of drinks and sandwiches , easy on mind and great for your soul ! Cheers from Tennessee
Go Rocky Top!
This helps me get out of survival mode and relax, Thankyou!
I hope that you will continue to make these because they're quite wonderful.
You’re with me in my sewing room as I work on a quilt project. ❤️❤️❤️
I love this! So restful and peaceful.

Absolutely delightful. This video is going to be my new de-stress watch!
This is how I play all your vlogs “ no sound no moaning “ just nice tranquil scenery
This another great relaxing video we sit back an imagen we are traveling on the canal thank you David great work .
There are too many people trying to make a living with narrowboat vlogs nowadays. I have "narrowed" it down to just a handful that I consider worthy of following. Of course, you fall into that category ;-)
This is so wonderfully relaxing, especially after watching some bloke wrestling a toilet tent on a public campsite!!
