221. How not to open a lock gate on the English canals; plus much soothing scenery.

#narrowboat #narrowboats #canal #canals #liveaboard #cruisingthecut
Picking up from the previous video, I continue down the Staffs and Worcs canal from Acton Trussell, through Penkridge and moor outside Otherton Boat Haven. En route, I demonstrate how not to open a lock gate.

Sorry mate, you can't just sail around and gently nudge gates, if you start doing that, it won't take long before everybody is out there doing that, drinking all the lake water, skipping on Sundays, and frowning at the local wildlife, it'll be total chaos.

Your mooring indecision is similar to me choosing where to pitch my tent and which direction to have the door facing. I seem to have a superb ability to choose a spot over a hidden hole in the grass and whichever way I face the door the wind changes so it blows directly into my tent the following day.

[@fumbleknit719]

Ah, memories! That time we picked the perfect tent site in the Minnesota woods, pitched the tent, and then noticed it was right in line with a widow-maker. Struck, re-picked, re-pitched. Live and learn.

[@henryharesdene4164]

Ah! the joys of the S&W. We cuto our teeth on canalling on this canal - thanks to the hire fleet and tutoring of Teddesley Boat Company (now no more) and their ownwers - also no more - a great shame in all respects. Progress Well, only if others benefit from this partiularly pretty canal. There are few - if any- grotty bits, and if 'you' find one/some, they are quickly passed by. If only it was a ring of its own!

[@meloz1246]

I'm seeking some education here please. Do these waterways serve any commercial purpose nowadays or are they maintained for recreational and nostalgic reasons?

[@CruisingTheCut]

No commercial purpose other than the delivery of supplies to other boaters, see kzbin.info/www/bejne/apCyi3d8grFqnbs

[@olly5764]

Must admit, with the title of the video, I did expect you to get that lock gate wrong and give the gate a nasty biff

[@CruisingTheCut]

Not me, sit, no sir

[@bobheale2521]

very historic seeing all the locks made of hand laid brick. Not like the sterile, poured concrete here in Canada

[@t1n4444]

Hmm, bricks all very well on the "quaint" scale certainly. However, a "lot" of lock walls are "in need of attention" and on occasion bricks are forced out by ice forming in cavities behind the face bricks. CRT do not possess a vast fortune, ergo repairs most likely prioritised on what really, really must be done. So, repointing of brickwork may not head the list in every situation. Some locks have quite a rise. Tuel Lane lock is the deepest canal lock in UK at a mere 19ft 8 and a half inches rise. If your boat had an air draft of say 7ft then when at the lower level the roof is 12 ft below the level of the lock. The good thing, despite your very reasonable aesthetic views about concrete sided locks, is Tuel Lock IS concrete sided. Would you want to be in a lock with dodgy brickwork just waiting to fall on your head? Some lock walls may be "well" over a hundred years old, constantly washed with water in all weathers, plus being "abused" by narrowboat hull contact. Some narrowboaters, not unreasonably, buy into the old ways; some of us would rather work a lock where there's no chance of a brick or ten falling out of the wall. Even if it missed you a falling brick is not going to enhance the generating capacity of your solar panels. (A lot of boats are virtually plastered in solar panels.)

He obviously loves the land and keeps his boat and his space {waters he travels in} in great shape and respects the ground and waters that God gave us to tend to. I'd like to see how the locks work, and exactly how long does it take for it to fill up? P.S. I won't tell a soul about the gate nudge, but since it's on video, others will pick up on it...8*)

Truly amazed at this system of waterways. I assume the government maintains them, is it taxes or boat fees that pay for them. Would never happen in USA. We’re more interested in getting there fast, here the adventure of getting there is the fun.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Not the government as such but a charitable trust (which does receive some money from government but not a lot). Boaters pay annual fees, yes.

[@THEDIABLODOG]

Yeah! I always wondered what caused the FOAM like that besides air... here's what I found. Background 😈"THE DIABLO DOG"😈" I know... most people just want to know what time it is... but let me tell you how to build a watch. Foam often is seen accumulating against logs or on the banks of streams, or along the shores of lakes on windy days. When it first appears, foam can be white, but generally turns brown over time. The development of foam occurs due to changes in the water surface tension and the physical introduction of air. There is a slight tension on the surface of water caused by the chemical attraction among water molecules. This tension is what allows some insects to move along the water surface and what causes water to “bead up” on your car during a rain storm. Certain molecules interact with the water reducing the surface tension. These molecules are called surface active agents or surfactants. Human Sources There are many natural and synthetic (human produced) surfactant molecules. Synthetically produced surfactants are an ingredient of most household cleaning products such as detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Early detergents, developed after the Second World War, were non-biodegradable, that is they could not be broken down by bacteria. This resulted in large accumulations of persistent foam particularly below sewage treatment plants and other points where these surfactants were released into waterways. These early detergents also contained phosphorus which softened the water by binding with calcium and magnesium. However, this phosphorus also contributed to blooms or prolific growths of algae and other aquatic plants. Due to these problems, the chemical structure of synthetic surfactants was modified to a biodegradable form that contains sulfates instead of phosphates. The most widely used synthetic surfactants today are linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LAS) listed on most products as sodium or ammonium laureth or lauryl sulfate. Natural Sources Naturally produced organic surfactants are released from algae and plants when they die and begin to decompose but also in lesser amount when living. These organic surfactants are part of a large variety of plant material that when dissolved in water is referred to as dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The breakdown of large algal blooms in ocean waters can lead to the accumulation of foam on beaches up to 3 feet deep. The primary source of DOC in lakes and streams is from the surrounding watershed soils. Bogs and wetlands deliver large amounts of DOC to streams and lakes because they are very productive and the breakdown of plant material within wetlands is slow. The presence of DOC in lakes and streams is why they are dark in color and often referred to as “brown-water streams.” Foam often is seen in our brown-water streams in the spring as snowmelt carries DOC to adjacent streams and lakes or during fall rain storms after the leaves have fallen and begun to decompose. In addition to causing foam, DOC provides energy and performs many additional functions important to aquatic ecosystems. Although natural, human activities that cause an increase in algae or aquatic plant growth like the introduction of nitrogen or phosphorus fertilizers can cause plant and algae blooms and an increase in foam production along with the removal of oxygen as these plants decompose. The foam is not toxic; however, removal of oxygen can cause fish kills. Determining Causes Foam from plant produced surfactants will occur at many locations along a stream accumulating on against the bank, or on logs or other material in the stream. It may be white at first, but will turn brown over time as sediment particles build up in the foam. The foam will persist for some time gradually diminishing in size. Increases in foam abundance will often follow rainstorms that transport the surfactants to the stream or along lake shores on windy days. Foam from detergents and other synthetic surfactants generally will accumulate near the source and should not occur over large distances. The foam will be white and sweet smelling or scented. The foam will not persist, and will dissipate quickly once the source is removed. Foam accumulations from synthetic surfactants will generally not be related to rain storms or windy conditions on lakes. Foam is produced as air, introduced in the turbulence of stream riffles, below waterfalls, or as waves break upon the shore, bubbles to the water surface. There are many natural and synthetic (human produced) surfactant molecules.

[@cyberi4a]

I did wonder what caused the foam and now after reading this, it explains why foamy bubbles appear when blowing into a straw in a glass of milk.

[@t1n4444]

GRRR! If I've told CRT about those blasted surfactants once then I've told them a dozen times! Just makes the canals look like Widow Twankee's!

I'm sure you're not "supposed to", I'm more asking if people do.

[@Spacehamster1OO]

Swimming in them is a case by case basis, some look fine to swim in, others look rather polluted.

Penkridge has been known to have problems with bored youths, so mooring a little way out was perhaps a wise decision. Love the vlog.
