    Great vlog of York. We stayed there several years ago on our way up to Ripon in our narrowboat. Its a squeeze through the locks in a 60 footer on the Ripon canal but we just made it, your 62 footer has no chance! I remember that ice cream boat, it has its own designated mooring. York is a gem, maybe you should put that in your future cruising plans, it's well worth the effort.

    Thanks for this video. It reminds me of my trip to York 6 years ago. I was in many places you covered. Loved The Shambles and walking along the old city walls. Loveliest city I visited. Would love to return one day! Brenda from USA

    I really loved this vlog, Bails is a beautiful boat, but I still like Alba. The good thing with narrow boats over wide beams is you can get anywhere on the canal network, you can’t in a wide beam. I loved the tour of beautiful York too, all of the talk of chocolate has made me go and make a drinking chocolate. It’s lovely to see you both again, take care, both of you. X

    Loved this video. We can remember when you first visited them. Such a gorgeous boat. We are looking to buy a widebeam, we also live in Yorkshire. We do thought just want to continues cruse. Do you think have a tiller is easier. York is a magical place.

    • @CruisingAlba
      @CruisingAlba  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Caroline, it's hard to say as we are not used to driving with the wheel. We are used to the tiller and think it's easier but it might be a lack of practice? so not 100% sure 💜 xx

    Are widebeams ok to manage single handed??

    Wonderful vlog guys. I live not far from
    York. I’d have loved to have bumped into you there. How was the boat with using a bow thruster? Very different to Alba I guess.

    • @CruisingAlba
      @CruisingAlba  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Phil, the bow thruster is a must on a widebeam, especially on the river. On a narrowboat though with two crew we can manage just fine. Thanks for watching 💜 xx

    you should never stick your arm out like that because had there been another vehicle behind you the driver would have thought you was going to turn left, because that is an old fashion way of indicating and is still used by drivers today if their indicators suddenly stopped working
