270. Cruising the Cut and AQUAHOLIC go to sea

On the canals of the UK, the speed limit is 4mph so how would I fare when given the chance to do over 30 knots on the open sea? An invitation from legendary boat-tour channel @AQUAHOLIC gave me the chance to find out, on a day in Devon with Mr Nick Burnham himself.

Great to have you aboard David! 🙂

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thanks again!

[@JonathanSmith87]

Having watched both of you independently for some time it was rather cool to see you both together! Great video & keep up the good work both of you.

[@pauln2141]

OMG my two favourite channels in one place! Well done both of you for linking up.

[@jdsfairlinetarga3790]

That exactly my thoughts. Seeing you both together is great.

[@TheDoggyOnTheWall]

Great collaboration. Love both channels.

[@mullill7122]

Wonderful. I thought it was the narrow boats that kept me tuned in, I've come to realize it is your insightful narrative. Thank you David

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thank you :-)

[@canbonly1970]

Maybe a little more Don Knotts than Don Johnson but you still look thrilled getting up to speed. Good adventure.

[@hatdude5138]

The collab I didn’t know I needed.

[@chrissayers7076]

Brilliant video, my two favourite aquamen on the planet!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@randynovick7972]

This was more of an introspective psychological study than the other Vlogs, I think. It looked like a very enjoyable day. It was also interesting to hear that you felt most closely identified with the smuggler being pursued by the police, rather than ... the police. Perhaps there's a hitherto unseen sliver of the rogue in you. Lie back a bit and tell me about your childhood ... what comes to mind when I say the words "cheese sandwich"? ;)

[@CruisingTheCut]

Hahaha perhaps I should have edited that out!!

[@Stealthhunter44]

Bravo to Nick for putting everyone in life jackets straightaway!

[@TinMan0555]

From the “swing-about” car ferries to Agatha Christies home, you always make it interesting. Thanks for another entertaining morning. 👍🏻

[@CruisingTheCut]

Many thanks!

[@frankligi7673]

Just love when you guys get together.

[@Ben-311]

Perfectly done. Your videos always feel like a professional documentary and your narration is hypnotically relaxing. I know you have experience with this stuff but its always fun to watch someone do something they are exceedingly good at.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Wow, thank you!

[@mobiusfugue2582]

Oh-oh... he's gone over to the wobbly water dark side. 😁

[@carolross6583]

I was in Kefelonia for a week this past May and my daughter persuaded me to hire a boat for the day, just like Nick's . We zoomed along the coast and stopped at a bay for a swim and lunch. I know I would enjoy it just as much at Dartmouth. Bet you didn't have a swim 😉

[@tobyhallidie1498]

30 knots !! that's warp 9.9 for narrow boaters isn't it ??

[@CruisingTheCut]

Hahaha pretty much!

[@carycoombe3380]

Did your "civilized boating" luncheon include cheese sandwiches?😃😉

[@CruisingTheCut]

Of course!

[@starrider529]

My favourite two KZbinbers! Wow, what a lovely combination..Being an RYA Commercial Yachtmaster and marina supervisor in London, and having lived on a narrowboat for 5 years, you two have certainly combined the best of both worlds..thank you Nick and David. Keep the good vlogs going!

[@catherineatkins7908]

What a lovely day to be at sea!

[@darrellsmith4204]

Brixham Vice- the plot is a bit thin, but the characters are enjoyable..

[@mallow173]

That was a great run!! Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed travelling at the speed of light David!!

[@howardlockhart3615]

And now for something completely different! Cool to see you and Nick on an outing. I watch his channel too.

[@cuzinevil1]

That was an unexpected treat! Thank you David.

[@umbertoyltp]

You can forget having tomato sauce with your lunch on this pristine white vessel. That was my first thought. So you were making waves today, you must have felt like King Of The World! Thank you for taking us aboard.

[@kathlucy603]

Thanks for taking us along. I love being on boats … anywhere.

[@goody2shoes831]

What a beautiful part of Britain! I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks David!

[@pascalcoole2725]

Thanks again David. btw wasn't Don Johnson was one of the 'good guys' ?

[@CruisingTheCut]

Haha yes he was but I was playing the bad guy

[@paulhaynes8045]

@@CruisingTheCut a natural fit!

[@JeghedderThomas]

That was nice. You're spitting out content these days, David - it's a joy to behold. Also: I'm quite jealous of this marine life, oh to zoom about on the ocean, what a treat.

[@amfwelsh]

That must feel like warp speed!

[@Steve-wy1rj]

More sea boating content please!! This was brilliant :)

[@CruisingTheCut]

:-)

[@garrymartin6474]

The Crabber looked gorgeous 👍

[@billyslide7645]

Just wonderful! Two of my favorite KZbinrs in the same video. My wife is less enthusiastic as now I want a 50’ narrowboat (Thanks David) AND a 45’ Hardy (Thanks Nick). That way we can cruise the interior of the UK as well as circumnavigate the British Isles! Thanks!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Hahahaha

[@strat4ordgirl]

What an amazing experience. I love the sea. ❤️

[@phill2010uk]

Both of your channels inspired me to change career into boating. I’ll be doing some Powerboat instructing this weekend out of Southsea Marina. Thank you!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Superb! I hope you have a great time and a bright future 👍

[@nickcollins7568]

This is a great days boating. Look forward to more Speeding the Cut videos

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , a great way to level up on a north south divide, from the cut at 3 feet to 100 feet of depth at sea or more . Great work Nick ,that,s why we keep voting for you and spreading the word to David and showing him , it is all fun in the south and no one goes to work . LOL 🤩👍😎 . and where fish comes from . Thank you both for your day out .

[@gardeninginthedesert]

I couldn't put my finger on why you looked different. The wind swept hair was obvious but then I realized you were smiling the whole time. You obviously really enjoyed yourself and I'm sure all of your viewers loved it too. We used to have a small boats that we took on Windermere that we used for water skiing. We tried it out at sea once after the speed ban on the lake but it didn't go well. We moved abroad shortly after and sold the boat.

[@trevormiddleton]

Wow - two of my favourite channels collaborating! Must admit, I still think of yachts as motorhomes that get wet, but Nick's certainly opened my eyes to a whole new world.

[@eamo106]

Enjoy Narrowbating, Offshore boats and then my buddy from UNI, learned sailboats and went as a retiree around the world ! Now a master Mariner taking boats cross continents. Hats off !

[@mmsmits2868]

Loved seeing the two of you together!!!

[@mattwruff]

Way back in my young and foolish days I got to take a ride in the 'famed Miss Budweiser' and we kept it 'safe' at 150 MPH...Great video David (as always)

[@CruisingTheCut]

Oh wow!

[@TaxTheMonkey]

A CtC and Aquaholic mash up? I must be dreaming!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Nightmare?!!

[@TaxTheMonkey]

@@CruisingTheCut No, one of the good ones. Have you changed your mind about lumpy water boating now?

[@CruisingTheCut]

Haha it's still all a bit frenetic for me

Blimey,two British boating legends on a boat at sea! What an utterly amusing little vlog again from CTC!

[@notrut]

I think you've got a winning combination!

[@jlemieu1]

Two my favorite loggers. Great job

[@adrianpipe3323]

Excellent vlog thank you. What a wonderful spot, have been fortunate enough to sail up and down there a few times.

[@carrieleonard1997]

You didn't loose your hat, you're not going fast enough!!!! We have a special hook on a pole for when we loose hats :).

[@davidredmayne7269]

Nice combination guys!!!

[@andrewmonument8847]

I have SO missed your vlogs, David ! Really glad you're still sea-worthy... Sooo glad you didn't get a nosebleed for going that fast ! Don't mention the cocaine... those surgical gloves can get into VERY intimate places 🤣🤣

[@CruisingTheCut]

Cheers. Not sure why you've missed them, I've been publishing regularly...? Including cruising vlogs (on other boats)

[@Debba521]

You very much looked like you were enjoying yourself tremendously! Thanks for sharing your adventures on the high seas. 🚤

[@careyroberts3924]

A wonderful video David. Thank you. I had never come across Aquaholic's channel previously but have just subscribed and looking forward to watching his videos. Forgive my candour but there is another channel I follow run by a lovely gentleman called Donny Wilcox who rides around Scottish coastal lochs and islands in a SIB boat. I am sure you would enjoy his company and a ride with him if if you are ever up in Scotland in your campervan. Thank you for all the great videos :-)

[@bctruck]

I’m a retiree in Texas. My two favorite boating channels eating lunch on the water! Loved it! Now the third favorite is based in the states. Nauti styles. That would be the coolest if you all met up. Thanks very much to both of you!

[@Rexal_The_Saltiest_Brit]

Oh how I wish I could experience something like this, just going up and down the coast of this great island! Closest i've managed was on a private dolphin expedition in the caneries where I proposed to my fianceé, moored just off the coast of the island of Lanzarote, While amazing probably isn't going to hold a candle to just going up and down the English Coastline, that salty sea smell, seeing the island from a different angle, so many places I'd visit!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Excellent proposal, wow!

[@andyrbush]

Beautiful vlog. I do think that whole area is one of the World's prettiest treasures and bursting with history.

[@patriciahutchenszimmerman9357]

Lovely

[@jcderby129]

Lovely! Stayed inDartmouth last august bank holiday. Lovely area, all round. Walked up to Little Dartmouth and down past the castle. lovely walk about 6 miles. Walked over through Kingswear and around there into the country side. Some lovely expensive properties, some lovely expensive boats!😁 Was a jet black one moored up which was very swish. Great stuff David and Aquaholic.

[@jcderby129]

5 lovelies! I must do better 😂

[@sidneybowerman558]

Thanks Nick, and you David, for a great trip out to sea on a Sunday afternoon. It was most unexpected, and I enjoyed it all the more for that.

[@robsin2810]

Thanks David. Sitting in my recliner, recovering from BA 4 variant. Just what I needed.🙏👍🇦🇺

A Grand Day Out!

Yes!

[@paulhoughton5266]

Awesome, brought back memories of when my Dad had powerboats in the early 1980s and we used to thrash it around the coast and have a bit of lunch 😀

[@danb.3397]

WHAT ?! No shots of a CHEESE SANDWICH ?! Cheese Gromit...

[@thomasfrench2012]

Kudos to Nick and you for being safety first. Loved the trivia about the railway depot never being a station point. Thanks guys!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@bobthistle708]

I loved this video, I’ve been following you both for ages and to see you both on one video is fantastic!! Thank you 😊

[@nesleinf]

Nice trip: Motorboats du not appeal to me. I sail a small (very cheap) sailing yacht, as I fancy going by the power of the wind. I missed a look of the inside of this fantastic craft. It could be interesting to see how accomodations were laid out in such a boat. Enjoyed the vlog Best regards from Denmark

[@CruisingTheCut]

Ah, Nick's done a tour on his own channel. I'll try to find it and add the link to the description.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Here's the link to Nick's own tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnO2iZ1mft6HaLc

[@nesleinf]

@@CruisingTheCut Thank you for the link. I watched his video and are really surpriced to see how much room (and luxury) they have managed to squeeze into such a relatively small boat!

[@berbagikabaronline5227]

two of my fav channel,

[@dennisporter753]

Fun!!!... I used to go out on a nearby lake with my sister and brother in law.. 30 knots is quite fast and exhilarating! Such a fun time... my sister sold her boat recently and bought a camper to go traveling.. in fact they are in Florida as we speak ... Cheers from Missouri USA

[@bruceyoung1343]

JOLLY GOOD. Reminds me of the years we had a boat 🛥 on the Barnaget Bay Area of New Jersey. Thank You 🙏

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day David from Sydney Australia. I believe that I saw a Cardinal marker in the video. The yellow and black. I remember them: Black wine glass (deeper water West) Anyway you've got your sea legs! 🌏🇦🇺

[@chrishuston4445]

Absolutely beautiful day! Thank you for the wonderful video journey!

[@indisputablefacts8507]

The only thing better than owning a boat is having a friend that owns a boat.

[@godfreylewis132]

Brilliant journey, wonderful views and Brixham Marina super, we shall be there at the end of July, staying in the appartments you showed by the gangway. Thank you for the ride.

[@CruisingTheCut]

I hope you have a great time!

[@sicily6740]

Very nice video. I've watched some videos of Haulover Inlet, Miami, where no one wears a life vest and the water is incredibly rough. Good to see some sane boaters.

[@NarrowboatNogginTheNog]

If you went that fast on a narrowboat, the ghost of Thomas Telford would appear and tell you to slow down!

[@Danny_Boel]

great fun, but with fuel prices these days it must cost a pretty penny...

[@sharpbends]

What no locks, looked like a lot of fun :-)

Another interesting one David, never know whats next! Would love to know how quickly it empties a tank when going full speed though.... ouch! :)

Hahaha much better economy on the narrowboat!

What fun! Beautiful, we’ll done.

enjoyed this cruise ,some of the neighborhood reminded me of norway .i seen agatha christie house where she penned many books. i would fancy a cornish shrimper for boating.

[@karonmorley2082]

I love watching your videos, they inspired my husband and I to take the plunge so to speak and live on our own narrowboat which is little more than a shell at the moment, your easy manner and likeable videos gave him the idea to do a vlog of our journey, it's called Buzzy's Boaty on KZbin, thanks for giving us the inspiration we have watched and liked everyone of yours, so much fun to watch.

[@MrJozza65]

I would love to own a seafaring boat like that. Unfortunately for me, even if I could afford to buy one, the mooring charges where I live near the Thames Estuary, are rather high. It was great to be able to enjoy virtually though, and it looked like it was a lot of fun. Maybe one day.... if my ship comes in 🙂

[@ianraffel7505]

Very brave David, well done! I was worried you'd disappear into hyperspace at 6 knots! Hope a cheese sandwich was on the menu for lunch!

How fabulous 🤩 I watched the video about Jim Davidson and his beautiful boat, the Princess Mitchie, on the Aquaholic channel a while ago. Your vid here was every bit as good and very interesting. Thank you 😊

[@MotownJT]

Growing up on the Great Lakes in Michigan, I can relate to your adventure at sea. Your friend’s boat is great on the waves. It’s fun and exciting. The best is sailing on a Hobie Cat where you hang on when one hull gets lifted with the waves, tide and wind.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Definitely not for me!

[@MotownJT]
