The one where i fell in the canal

- We leave lovely Braunston to start our narrowboat travel adventures, but things don't go QUITE to plan in a fairly spectacular fashion. I was expecting to make a chill cruising vlog about our peaceful life on the water as new continuous cruisers etc, but life comes at you fast sometimes. Even when you're moving quite slowly.
Anyway, falling off a moving boat into freezing cold canal water wasn't a boatlife rite of passage that I was dying to tick off, but here we are. Apparently this means I'm a real boater now!
This was a few months ago, so the immediate rage (at myself) and despair has passed, I just had to be dramatic about it first 😂. It was a very expensive little mistake, but everyone was ok, which is all that matters.

Despite how it might look, we don't actually spend most of our days sifting through the bottom of the canal looking for things dropped in. This was just a very grabber heavy time 😂
I think it's been long enough that I can say I just cackled. I also said Think of the Knitwear!!!!!! I understand the tech was the main concern, but my mind was on the Jupiter sweater and the balaclava!
Is Andrew the most indefatigable man in the world? His patience is astounding and outstanding!
I hope you’re feeling okay!
He really is!! Thank you ❤️
Kris, it can only get better! ❤️❤️
Kris, that stuff about putting it on a bed of rice is a load of rubbish. The best way to dry your phone is, take the back off it, remove the battery and put it where there is good moving air. Wait a couple of days and it should be dry. Same thing with the camera and lenses. Let the air work its magic and then assess the damage. They say you are not a real boater until you have fallen in at least three times. Thank you for another great vlog. Cheers
Thanks Greg! That’s what we ended up doing, the iPhone had water all inside the seals, but it managed to dry out ok, minus the Face ID.
Hello hello, the cattle with the single white stripe around its middle is called a
Belted Galloway.
They are a Scottish breed and named for their appearance and place of origin.
There are also Miniature Belted Galloways.
🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐂🐄
I really like their simple striped coats.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Love your grabber. Start your business in Paddington basin. Last summer it was full of people staring mournfully into the canal looking for their phones.....
Hahaha, great idea! I bet we would clean up
The good news is you still look amazing after a dip in the canal!
Hahaha thank you! The lipstick did turn out to be canal-proof 😂
That’s you had your canal dwellers initiation falling in the canal just waiting for Andrew to do the same.
These thing are sent to try us it's happened forget it move on we learn from our little mistakes ❤
You're absolutely right ❤️
Noooooo you poor thing!! Going back over dolly accidents is soul destroying. All the what ifs and what maybes. Heart goes out to you. X
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed watching. Really hope you are well and having a great Tuesday. Many thanks from Chris and Jane ❤🎉
"a bit more of a shitter" - my day is complete -- big hugs Kris xx
🥰🥰🥰
Bless you it's nasty falling in happens alot.i fell in years ago
Well, you are now truly a boater on the cut , glad your safe and well. happy summer cruising guys.
Thank you, we’re loving the weather 😊☀️
Your London accent is much better than mine. But you can still curse like an East Ender haha! 😆
Haha, I try 😅
You must have been freezing. Falling in in summer time is quite funny and not too awful but in the cold brrrr. Luckily everything turned out ok in the end.
It was quite chilly, yes! Thank you :)
@@krisatomic great to follow your other adventures boating around.
Boating in these temperatures must be a lot more pleasurable.
Sorry about your un-planned dip guys and I do understand about the glasses Kris. Good luck with rescue on the phone and lens, if anyone can mend these its the both of you. Good video.
Thanks Peter! 😊
Sorry that you fell in, and to the damaged equipment and lost glasses. However you still looked remarkably elegant even sopping wet with canal water, and quite poised. It would have been hours before you could have filmed me sans bleeping
But, and I guess this depends on belief in fate...or maybe just favourable routine chance...but now when you visit your friends in London and they ply you with harrowing tales of crowded tubes and navigating crowds...you can just say...pfft I fell in the bloody canal..(embellishing fully allowed depending on circumstances🤣)
Also I agree on the difficulty of finding the perfect glasses, but now you will have a story to tell about the great glasses hunt. I have no doubt you'll find the perfect pair.
Once again your storytelling, and personality, your understanding of light and overall aesthetic have combined to make a truly wonderful video. everything is top notch, and easily one of my favourite channels.
You are so so kind, thank you 🥰
Girl you jinxed yourself. Now say wouldn't it be funny if we won the lottery on camera. 😂
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY, in the future I'm only speaking good things into existence, I'm too powerful
Kris and Andrew I just discovered your channel and I am officially hooked.
I can't wait to see your upcoming summer travels on your narrow boat.
Best,
Veronique
Thanks so much Veronique!
Yeah for the grabber and Anthony! Leaning about boat life - the hard way!
Masters of fishing stuff out of the canal! Thanks from Kansas!
😊
It’s good to get these obstacles out of the way as a beginner cruiser…….you will have no issues moving forward.❤❤❤❤
Thank you Lynette ❤️
I do feel for you. With the perspective of time, this will become a minor blip in your journey however that is not to belittle the trauma that you currently feel. Stay strong!
Thank you! ❤️
Oh nooooo 🙊 you poor thing lol, well I've heard that you're not a proper boater until you've fallen in.
Hope you got some glasses sorted.
Wow, Andrews grabber was money well spent 😮 and omg he's got some patience!! Great vlog.
He really does, I could never 😂
Andrew has a thriving side hustle with the grabber and magnet. So sorry you fell in. Losing glasses is a pain. I lost a pair of Silhouettes several years ago and it took a couple weeks to get sorely needed glasses back…..plus the expense 😢. You saying after the shot of gin that you should be alright, and Andrew replying “ for now” 😂 Hopefully you are alright and Andrew was able to preform the necessary surgery on the lens and camera. Thank you for sharing how things can change in a moments time from elation to despair and questioning yourself . Thank care, and drink gin….hopefully it worked 🧐
🤗😊 Kathy
You must both be enjoying the lovely sunshine now. Im sure that’s lifted your spirits tremendously 😀
It’s heaven! ☀️☀️☀️
Congratulations you’ve joined the club .l went in in July so the water wasn’t so cold (South Oxford)
💪💪💪
Hi. It always horrified me when I see someone walking up the gunnel when they are comming in to moor up with a decreasing gap between steel armco and 20 tons of moving steel. We stay on the back and bring the back in and step off the back. Please look after yourselves.
You’re quite right, much safer way of doing things. I’m much more careful now!
I’m a nice person but I did find this episode hilarious 😂 glad you are ok 👍🏻 x
Hahah I’m glad!! If it can be entertaining then at least something good comes of it 🤓
I was waiting on that one ever since you mentioned it on IG but I had no idea that camera, phone, glasses, etc was on you. I am just so sorry that happened, it must have felt so horrible. BUT good thing you stayed well - thank god for the tasty gin!!!
Hope no belongings and people will go bathing in the canal anytime soon
Ahh, thank you!
Oh no hope you're ok and not feeling ill. Didn't expect to see you sifting through the canal again and after rescuing that wallet. Hope the lens is ok. take care. x
Thank you Tina ❤️ I’m ok! x
Hope you’re ok ❤
All good now, ty! x
When we were barging in France - one marina had a list of what was at the bottom of the marina.
Quite how they knew this - I cannot say.
It was hundreds of pairs of glasses, lots of mobile phones, cameras, wallets, boat gear, bottles of alcohol, cutlery and crockery, shoes and a shocking amount of stuff.
I’ve lost a pair of glasses into the water.
It happens.
Could you send over the GPS co-ordinates for the marina? (Asking for a friend) 👀
That’s wild, it must look amazing down there. Where is an underwater drone when one needs one!
Oh my goodness Kris 😮 How are you now? Hope you are ok after swallowing that water.
I had to laugh when you talked about your glasses and you said they were Tom Ford as my husband lost his Tom Ford glasses a few weeks ago after helping a friend moor up and he caught the edge of his glasses on the tiller when he bent down. As you say it’s the hassle of going to get another eye test, choose glasses, wait for them be made up. You handled it very well and the main thing is that you weren’t hurt.
Keep on going as it’s all part of the Narrowboat adventure. Lots of love. Clare xx
All ok now, thank you Clare ❤️ your poor husband as well! Such a pain 😩 seriously considered putting the new ones on a chain attached to me lol
That’s so funny but that’s exactly what he did 🤣 makes him look 10 years older though 🤣
Glad you are ok though after swallowing that water. Xxx
Hi there, Sorry you fell into the canal, but that wasn't so bad. I can top that, May 2020 during lock down at my local super market I was queuing at the check out, I still don't know why but I blacked out which resulted in both ankles broken and four days in hospital. :-) True story.
Note to self must try that Gun.
Cheers Milly
Omg Milly 😱 you poor thing!! Hope you made a full recovery. BOTH ankles!
@@krisatomic Hi there, Yes both ankles, two broken bones in the left and one in the right ankle. After I came out of hospital because we were still in lock down I had physio by phone, yes via phone. I had a nice phone call from the hospital doctor, I asked if I would be having another X-ray, he said, Sorry we can't do that.
My husband got great amusement out of telling people I had collapsed in the wine isle, which was true but I couldn't see the funny side at the time due to the pain.
Yes I'm OK now.
Love your videos, have a fun weekend, Cheers Milly sue
OhnI'm so sorry that happened. I can only imagine the frustration and aggravation you must have felt. Andrew's patience is really impressive. I hope you were able to get everything sorted out in the end. As someone who's worn spectacles for most of her life I can assure you that I felt the same sadness when you mentioned losing yours. It's such a faff of a process too. Hope your new pair ends up being better though.
Thank you!! I did need a new pair really, I was just hoping to do it at a slightly more leisurely pace 😂
We’re so sorry to hear of Kris's canal calamity 😢 we really hope you manage to salvage some of your kit and find the glasses 👍 On a side note it’s definitely worth individually adding any expensive items to your insurance you may have with you onboard, Lou managed to destroy her MacBook not with Gin lol but a pint of beer a couple of years ago, we received a quick payment from our insurers minus the £100 excess 😃 We insure our WB with GJW who were awesome and really easy to deal with when making a claim, plus even with this accident the renewal the following year was still very competitive 👍
Really good call, going to look at doing this!
I fully would have been a) the one to fall in, and b) the one that wanted to go have a cry and sulk and gin 😂 Really sorry you went through this, hopefully all’s well drinking water wise, and maybe even phone and lens wise! Edit: oh also Andrews Grabby Hands is a great business name
One more impromptu grab and I'm going to make a grabby logo haha
Sh*t happens sometimes. Stuff can be replaced - as long as you are in one piece, that's the important thing. Stuff can be replaced - you can't :) I know it doesn't help with losing expensive kit - and I would be just as gutted, but from an outsider's view - your life and wellbeing is the important thing :)
Absolutely! ❤️
Hope you recovered ok . Looked b****y freezing , and you awesomely held your composure. Did you find your glasses? Andrew is awesome with the grabber and camera lens dissection, what a team ❤
❤️❤️❤️ (Spoiler: the glasses remained illusive sadly 😩)
💜💙💚
Gawd. Nightmare soaking such a lovely lens. If it is at all reassuring, many years ago a bunch of little sh**s kicked me into the River Lea while I was riding the towpath. I was sure I must have caught Weil's but all was fine.
God that’s awful, glad that you’re ok!
@@krisatomic thank you - many years ago and I'm fine.
That's not the way to treat a nice pair of dungarees!, I am really impressed you didn't loose your shit having taken your camera for a dunk, I am not so sure I would have been,, sadly I too have experienced the canal side dunk.
After only seeing you cool calm and collected, it was great to see you annoyed and really human.Sorry this happened to you.
That’s an excellent way of looking at it, thank you!
Schadenfreude is a horrible feeling. I've watched this video twice, now, and it's not getting any better. But, seriously, we've all had similar experiences; it's not nice. You are both capable people and things will get better, even if you do nothing.
Haha, thank you!
It may seem odd, but you only tend to fall in once. (so, now you have got it over and done with) - You will find yourself with an unconscious sixth sense / awareness from now onwards. Just a pity it was so costly - You can’t blame yourself for that / it is not unreasonable: - You were looking forward to a full days filming your journey. Now all you have to do is wait for Andrew’s turn … so have a camera ready at all times 🙂
You’re so right, I’ve definitely been more careful since. Maybe this completely innocuous fall saved me from something much more dangerous. And you’re very kind!
@@krisatomic Stay safe - I hope, no video titles like "Whacked by a Windlass", "Moring spike mallet toe clobbering time" or "shin-dig at the lock gates" to come please :-)
On the brightside, your '10 things not to do on the canal' episode is going to be ahead of schedule! 😄
So true 😅
😅
Aww I hope you're OK. Don't be too hard on yourself you'll learn lots of things from it x ✨️ keep the entertaining vlogs coming please. Have a good evening
Nooooo! After rescuing another phone with 'Grabby', it's just not quite fair. The whole thing is too unfortunate and I'm so glad it wasn't filmed. I hope Andrew's tenacity led to your Tom Ford's being found, but the most important thing is that you get to drink gin for at least a full calendar month just to be sure, right?
Ah babe! I’m so sorry, this was a much less hilarious experience than I anticipated. I hope you can look back on it and chuckle. Probably maybe par for the course for boat owners. Fingers crossed no Weil’s disease too…! 🥴❤️
Ty Lanna! All good, I got away unscathed 🙌
So sorry losing your glasses. I hope the Fuji will be OK. A gin goes s little way to help recover...
❤️❤️❤️
Oh WOW so very sorry this happened to you Kris! Andrew is a love and seems to like taking care of you and everything. Gin would be my choice of medicine hope you are healthy and recovered. Makes for entertaining watching!
Thanks Connie! 🥰
OH MY GOSH.... ITS SO FUNNY AND TRAGIC AT THE SAME TIME... LOLOL!. WHAT A BUMMER LIKE YOU SAID, WHERES THE KARMA... HAAAAAA???. AND NOW THERES ANDREW OUT WITH THE GRABBA... PRICELESS. . OK BACK TO THE REGULAR SCHEDULED ADVENTURE. HAD TO PAUSE... ITS A SHAME SO MANY THINGS AFFECTED. HOPE YOU CAN RETREIVE YUR GLASSES, AND THE WINDLASS, I GUESS YA GOTTA LOOK AT THE GOOD IN THE BAD. YUR FINE.. THATS MOST IMPORTANT., HANG IN THERE, ITS ALL PART OF THE ADVENTURE. BE BLESSED YA ALL.
😂😂😂
I’m so happy to see Andrew and I have the same woolly scarf. 😅 Unimportant things aside, I’m glad you’re ok. Must’ve been very scary. I think you should open up a grabber business. It would benefit the boating community tremendously I think! x
Hahah ❤️
Ah you deserved good juju! Saving the other guy’s wallet. So kind.
I suppose you are now canal ‘christened’ so don’t need to do that again 🤞
Hope the gin worked x
I credit the gin with my health for sure. Thank you!
You can count yourself as a proper boater now following your dunking, bit of a foot stamper about your camera though. The basic rule when moving along the gunnel is to always maintain 3 points of contact, but I guess you now know that.
What's really funny was when I fell I was actually saying - "oh this is exactly how you'd fall" because I only had one hand on the boat as I was holding the windlass. Definitely learned my lesson!!
Just your typical Londoners buy a boat loving it until you fall in pmsl 😂as I found out my self by Camden lock falling overboard it's just part and parcel of boating life love boating life in the summer but omg watch out winter time ice everywhere p/s do you really nead to swear lov
I think I was quite restrained on the swearing, considering 😂 Falling in at Camden is brutal though!
Ouch, that was eventful!
Hope life's been a bit more boring since then.
Great way of looking at it haha 🙌
@@krisatomic Like the Chinese curse that goes "may you live in interesting times" 😁
Come on Kris, someone who calls herself Kris Atomic needs to be the sort of person who bounces back from such things without pause. (I'd personally have a vlogger name suggesting a person who becomes a hermit and hibernates under a pile of blankets for a year after any mishap, but that's me). I hope you found you glasses and that the camera and phone were okay. I think you were quick enough with a slug of gin, so hoping that it prevented illness and made you feel better.
Kris Atomic does go back to about 2001 to be fair 😂 but thank you!
@@krisatomic Just trying to help motivate.
Who’s Tom Ford anyway? 🤔
A very rich man on the back of his expensive glasses empire 😂
@@krisatomic There are el cheapo options for when you’re on the canals, e.g. £10 from Boots. Save your £500 pairs for indoors or special occasions!
Yeah everybody's done it drop a camera dropped the wallet into the water it's a lesson you have to learn my suggestion you probably will redone it waterproof bag you carry and that's where you put all your electronics or two bags or three waterproof bags it's important
