Unusual to see like a dual vlog, one on the boat and one off. The bit of the Ashby between Gopsall Wharf and Shackerstone is lovely when it's green, so peaceful 👍

Hello Steve, we have enjoyed cruising all of the Ashby Canal. It was a bit wet and muddy when we arrived but improved with the drier weather! Thanks for watching and commenting!👍

Well it certainly has gotten greener since your last video. Beautiful views. Too bad I don’t have smell-I-vision because I like cows too Pat. Sorry about your back, I know how that goes. My back would kill me standing at the tiller for so long. I did need that sweater, it was a bit breezy. Thanks for taking me along.

Hi, i was so glad to hear that you were going to do a short cruise,and i must say that i enjoyed it and some how it did not seem short at all, i liked the two shots the cows, more so the ones that was close to the waters edge,and they acted as though they knew Pat and came over to say howdy. Good video,and be safe the both of you!!
