341. Canal boating on a brand new, tiny (and very pink) narrowboat.

[@lornajaneadventures]

I’ll never invite anyone else aboard. I’ve already peaked with you 💖

[@thatsme2182]

It is so cool to see you out there living your best life. Love the pink, it definitely makes a statement. Why have a boat that blends in with the others?

[@2760ade]

I love your little boat! I adore pink also, though I am male and it is apparently not allowed! Great to see you with your KZbin hubby!

[@JenOnTheMove]

_cough_ 😂

[@quarlow1215]

Oh boy, careful what you say Lorna. You put a man up on a pedestal that tall he'll never get down. 😂😂😂

[@Innerspace100]

Right you are! You two are so cute together, it melts my heart!

[@JohnSmith-dh4gw]

I'm pretty sure I know more about narrowboats, canals, locks, raising bridges, various engines, clearing props, building canals, hauling coal and fuel, and steel boat maintenance than any other fellow in Round Rock, Texas. Thanks.

[@godangerdad]

Same here in Ft Worth. That’s all I want to do in the summer, away from the heat.

[@ronaldlindeman6136]

That will include St. Paul, Minnesota. I would do that instead of the cold we are gonna get here.

[@rogermac358]

David and Lorna on the cut in a narrowboat again. The world is one step closer to back to normal! 👍😀

[@zonabrown9241]

Ha ha

[@kimagangobrit4480]

​@@zonabrown9241 not yet sadly, but canal boat watching helps 😊

[@hanshendriksen72]

Two Lovely people on a lovely boat. Now that's what I call a Saturday Morning treat. Many thanks David and Lorna!

[@CherylSteele-rt8dj]

I agree wholeheartedly. X

[@dannettepeters1507]

What a thrill to have a brand new boat!! Congratulations Lorna!

[@motorv8N]

Thanks for taking us along and congrats Lorna on your plucky pink craft.

[@ahn2323]

Lorna even has a flamingo tattoo. I love it, and the Fox Glove!

[@Marie-lf8ut]

This was a fun change to watch. I wish our canal along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, USA, was dredged to accommodate long boats. What a pretty little boat Lorna has.

[@grenvillephillips6998]

And there was me expecting David to do a Charlie Allnut and plunge over the side to free up the propeller and return covered in leeches, African Queen style. Well, next time maybe?

[@stilcrazychris]

She's got herself a cute little pink boat there. I loved her decore of the pink flamingos too. She's made it her own & all & I think it brings out her fun side of things. You do you girl. One fantastic little boat & people can't get it mixed up when you give someone directions to get to your boat either. You tell them that your in their area & tell them to take the foot path by the train station, just a metaphor, & your the pink boat on the right... lol... Such a fun little boat. Would love to have one too. So happy for you. May you enjoy every bit of your little boat.

[@RobbishVideos]

Got a soft spot for a pink narrowboat 😵‍💫

[@jeffhoward9186]

Awww, Lorna has a pink Cadillac now… awesome. I hope she truly enjoys it.

[@Dave-zj1zj]

Thank you, Lorna, for the ride along

[@charlesmoss8119]

The swan families this year are enormous - all seem to be 4+ round my way - quite the year!

[@Sassymouse88]

Naw she's so cute! And yes, very pink!

[@satorarepo744]

Oh Lorna has a lovely boat, and so very Lorna!

[@rosssharp9988]

Ah! At last, the sound of 'PARP!' is heard, once more, on the canal system! I have really missed your cheese sandwiches, David. Congratulations to Lorna and her delightful pink creation. Thank you for a lovely outing, both of you!

[@CruisingTheCut]

I should sell that "Parp" as a phone ringtone!

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

@@CruisingTheCut Nice boat and brand new! Question, what could you do to quite down the powerplant a little? Is it the motor mounts, engine box, muffler system, or the design? Thanks, asking for a friend.

[@Freesavh1776]

If I lived across the pond this is what i would love to live in. The canal boats are just adorable

[@tylerdunning7363]

Beautiful little boat for a beautiful friend of yours

[@dexterfitben]

Proabably the best, and pinkest, narrowboat vlog ever!

[@hughroney6342]

Damned loud for a new boat!!!

[@gregfawcett5152]

That's what I thought.

[@yasminsgreatescape]

This boat looks like the perfect size for me 😊 I’m going to follow her channel

[@roseduste80]

I love the flowers on the windows! Such a cute boat.

[@tonybroadfoot8947]

Katie Price would love the pink

[@floydbertagnolli944]

Having a dear friend is a blessing and a joy. 😊

[@CruisingTheCut]

Absolutely!!

[@maryjnorwood3962]

I love Lorna and her beautiful boat! ❤️😎❤️😎❤️🥰🥰🥰

[@lyndafoster7340]

Is Lorna ,Miranda in disguise so lovely x

[@erinthecat4206]

Honestly, you have some of the best and wittiest narration. Lovely day out on the pink Beetle, Foxglove. I'd have pink myself now, but I guess I'd have to go for foxglove purple instead.

[@johnnyc3298]

🤣 "Parp" that was hilarious I nearly choked on my cornett! And wow "Hello Stranger" ain't seen London boat girl in yonks!!! 👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈 This is all a bit "Tongue in cheek" 🤣😂 and I like it!

[@kevinsummerley5399]

Aaahhh. Them good 'ol days revisited. It's so good to see you both on another gentle adventure.

[@mrben6573]

I would love to see a tour of one of those Springer narrowboats. The internet says the smallest model was the 20' (23'?) "Water Bug". Adorable. The brochure says it slept 4 and had an outboard! That's very interesting. Looks absolutely ideal for a small family boat.

[@jessicakellerart4268]

Pretty in pink! What a cutie. Congratulations, Lorna!

[@gwendolynfish2102]

Lovely boat and the lady that owns her! Look forward to catching sight of her in everyone’s vlogs!

[@TheMidlifeCruises]

There’s nothing better than a coloured themed boat! 🚤💗

[@Rkk153]

Two lovely friends on a pink narrow boat going for canal boating this was so delightful , enjoyed your trip.

[@ToddTalksTech]

David and cheese sandwiches are what every canal adventure needs!

[@kevinsanders200]

I'm sure someone else has probably already solved the stuck weed hatch. New paint. Even though the paint was likely dry when the hatch was closed, it wasn't really cured. It happens all the time. A thin putty knife usually works.

[@t1n4444]

Yes, but there is a rubber gasket seal between the "weed hatch well" and the cover. The gasket, usually, is fixed to the lip of the well with a waterproof adhesive directly to the metal. The cover is then closed and is clamped in place. If the newly painted underside of the cover is stuck to the rubber so it couldn't be easily removed is probably best left to the boatyard. And if that didn't work then again it might be a stuck baffle plate set into the uxter plate. And that is definitely a boat out of the water job.

[@mlies37]

It’s an absolutely beautiful boat. I hope she’s very proud.

[@Princess_karen]

My favorite color, what a fun boat

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

“Cheese sandwich”. 🥪 Delightful day out. 👍😎

[@russellarendt5565]

Delightful episode, happy to see you back on the canals, and to be invited. When you said “lunch” I immediately thought “cheese sandwich“ and I was not wrong. LOL.☮️

[@louisetaylor2897]

What a absolute dream of a boat❤

[@ilox11]

Oh my, David AND Lorna, they're back again on our screens. Just how privileged are we viewers, the King and Queen of canal-dom! Lorna, that boat is simply gorgeous, and the colour is so very you. Could not imagine a more perfect boat for your canal adventures. Hope you get the weed hatch and propellor problems fixed so you can go back out and cruise.

[@QALibrary]

she has the best boat ever what a great colour

[@Pooky-Cat]

Duh! I didn't get the 'glove' reference to begin with. I really must get a little hand for these glasses. Lol. Smashing video, thanks for sharing David and Lorna.

[@DrBLReid]

Very good to you & Miss Lorna again!

[@curtbonnell4308]

You eat more cheese sandwiches than anyone I know. Mind you, we like what we like so carry on. Lovely little boat Lorna has and looks like you had a wonderful little trip.

[@t1n4444]

" ... thats because she's boating with me!" Loving the modesty David. Great video and glad Lorna's enjoying herself at last. Now anticipating the return match on Twiggy ere too long. Dare I anticipate too a line of yellow plastic ducks illuminating your saloon? You'd have to really to maintain the theme, probably, I expect, no doubt.

[@loft306]

David, it's so weird hearing your voice and the narrowboat in the same place at the same time. It's a pleasure.

[@1258-Eckhart]

I have never seen a pink narrowboat in many years' gongoozling, but the colour works extremely well, a strong but not obtrusive statement.

[@greenspiritarts]

That little Foxglove is just about the cutest boat ever!! Good to see you and the Missus out taking in the glorious British summer together in high style! I am not jealous. Nope. Not one bit! 💖

[@vertanderniewithkat]

lovely video.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thank you 🤗

[@Nerd3927]

That engine runs as sweet as any 2 cylinder modern engine can run!

[@IRSH-sy5jn]

I wish they would make more narrow boats in this colour pink it stands out and looks nice if I lived in a narrowboat that is the colour I think I would like

[@tinabrewer1]

I love it. I would redecorate the inside though.

[@charliew1098]

Apologies David but just started watching your videos on Prime! Loving your work and very much encouraging me to one day hopefully join the cut! Thank you so much for your very concise walk through on how to start!! Looking forward to learning about pit falls. Thank you!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad you're enjoying it. If you reach the end on Prime, the crossover point with YT is approx vlog 201 (and everything from 2020 onwards is YT only). Cheers!

[@cherylb6755]

Spot of Heaven on the road to somewhere… brilliant! Thank you Lorna, for letting us stow-away. 💖

[@skywillis]

what a cute boat! 😍

[@annabodhi38]

I just love these side quests. Hanging out with a good friend is always a blessing. Thank you both for this lovely treat, and for the video!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DBaty4]

Videos like this make the world a better place.

[@paulsccna2964]

The scenery is lovely and despite the over-caste the adventure of boating the canals is tangible.

[@petehalford5425]

Couldnt stop hearing that rattling, variable reving motor. BeraMarine would be wincing at each unexpected noise. Hopefully it was due to the encumbered prop dragging half a lilly bed along with it. Fab vid as always, David.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Cheers

[@billyslide7645]

What fun!

[@Simon_Nonymous]

I do like the blue bits as well - it's sort of Kath Kidston scheme, and I mean that as a compliment to Lorna's colour choices, as I really like them. I hope the snagging list gets shorter very quickly, and Lorna has many happy miles, hours, and memories on this lovely little boat.

[@CaptApril123]

Ha! I guessed it was Lorna :) I think that bicycle is a Brompton. Very expensive, very nice. I've got one in my target hairs. Great video! Thank you.

[@edsageseamaster3440]

So nice to see you both again on the water. Lorna, what a great looking boat you’ve got. You seem really pleased with it. So happy for you! Another great video David, thank you for sharing this trip with us all.

[@northernkarma9296]

Adorable!

[@tortyvitai]

Omg that boat is gorgeous

[@TomTremayne]

Great video David. I think Lorna's done a good thing with that boat & it's given her a new level of cool, if that makes sense.

[@russelldriver6394]

Really enjoyed watching that with my cup of coffee this morning :)

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad to hear it!

[@trevorford8332]

Yayy!! :) You can see the sparkle in David's eyes.

[@shirleylynch7529]

Beautiful boat. Pretty in pink. Most enjoyable cruise. Thank for taking us with you. So happy for you Lorna.

[@trees1trees]

That was wonderful. Thank you. When you were a full-time "narrow boater" I watched every episode. I still do watch some of the videos on the van or this channel, but I was more interested in the narrowboat life. Sedate, elegant, moving at the speed of nature rather than the artificial speed of modern humankind. I am a sailboat person. And perhaps the closest you can come with a engine powered boat to the naturalness of a sailboat is with an Old World narrowboat.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

They spared no expense in sound deadening materials around that vibrating 2 cylinder diesel's engine room.... The genuine narrowboat sound......modern style....

[@t1n4444]

Yes, but wearing after a bit. Perhaps the oil galleries to the tappets need a look at. Or even setting the clearance old school with feeler gauge. The engine certainly doesn't sound "new".

[@williammonaghan3724]

Now this is more like it canals, tea and cheese sandwiches!

[@veganvocalist4782]

oh the mini narrow boats are my favourite and how generous of you to feature your friends pretty pink boat to encourage viewers to her channel . This was so delightful , enjoyed your humour too 😆please more mini boats

[@robsin2810]

Early Sunday morning, read the scriptures and watched David and Lorna. Does it get any better.👍🙏🇦🇺

[@dukebracton6077]

That is just a really nice boat. It looked like it was a beautiful day out :)

[@CruisingTheCut]

It really was!

[@martincannon1078]

Hello David, funny at the end you said it sounded like a Citroën 2cv. I was thinking all along that it sounded like our new French Moulinex food mixer . Coincidence especially as we live in France too. Oh it's 35°C today here in Lyon. We did well to get an air conditioner by golly!

[@heathwellsNZ]

It's lovely that a narrowboat can impart the personality of its owner! Very very cool new boat. Hope the wee glitches get sorted soon. Nice outing indeed!

[@kevinmartin3859]

Loved the video nice shade of pink and it wouldn't be you not to have a cheese sandwich and nice cuppa of tea well done David and lorna

[@94auwing]

Awesome to see you back on a boat and the water. Great vlog

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thanks 👍

[@terrymathis4213]

Hi! Lorna love pink. Best of travels.

[@randynovick7972]

Always nice to see Lorna. What a fabulous little boat, too!

[@Simonsboxster]

Thank you David and Lorna, another lovely little adventure :)

[@JDDupuy]

Man I do enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for making them still!

[@CruisingTheCut]

Glad you like them!

[@smudolinithegreatdragobear2433]

Ok.. Now I have watched all videos on this channel.... And All except this one twice. So of to vandemonium I go to get me some more david....

[@CruisingTheCut]

I hope you enjoy it too.

[@eekee6034]

The circular windows add to the boat's cuteness. :3

[@justhavinfun7467]

Another great video David...I love Lorna's boat....I wonder if changing the prop to something of a different pitch might give her more top end speed? Really looks like fun overall...good job!

[@PaddyWV]

Splendid chugging. One is reminded of a tired Mk 2 Cortina by the sound of that motor! 😉

[@CruisingTheCut]

Hahahaha love it

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

The V4 edition.....flub flub flub.....

[@freddypflugbeil6]

Always have a good time watching your videos David. Thanks from New York

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thanks for watching!

[@mishkawp8200]

Great video!

[@RobinRobertsesq]

Congrats on the new boat Lorna

[@jhertz89]

Nice to see you on a narrowboat and my daughter would love that boat.

[@franklutton7149]

if i won lotto.... i would travel this way for the rest of my days.....

[@stanleyromanowski9816]

Never bored with canal videos! Good to see Lorna and her lovely pink boat! Wishing her the best with Foxglove!

[@KerrikkiLurgan]

So happy for Lorna!

[@nevillemignot1681]

There used to be an advert that said that Manly in Sydney was '7 miles across the water from Sydney, but was a 1000 miles from your cares'........And i guess it would be the same on a day trip on a Narrowboat to anywhere. BTW great views, and seeing Mum and Dad swans with so many chicks made this overcast day in Sydney so much brighter.

[@sma3037]

Congrats Lorna!

[@AndyCutright]

Gorgeous little floating shed :)
