A Narrowboat Cruise on The River Lea (Broxbourne)

[@katienorthenmore1892]

thanks Lorna , nice filming and very chilled, glad you made it out, its difficult with illness, got to make the best of things whilst you can, and enjoy sweet moments with friends and beautiful days.

[@johndashwood7671]

Good to see you out on the water again. Keep making vlogs. And keep well.🦊

[@christinehammell6365]

That was great , thanks x

[@shawnsalazar5416]

Hi Lorna , that boat ride was very relaxing to me, no i can start my day of work.

[@nbflyingfox4672]

Great vlog Lorna.. Good to see you afloat again..🤗

[@for.tax.reasons]

The garden moorings are super pretty!

[@susanmarker2164]

Welcome home to cruising!! Very happy for you! Lovely visit thank you!!your friends boat is lovely!!

[@for.tax.reasons]

A rifle factory from the Napoleonic war :o that's a very cool bit of history thank you for sharing

[@youtubelife2616]

Glad to see a new video, thank u for all the videos

[@paca_bill4863]

It's funny after following and watching a bunch of narrowboat videos, to see a wide-beam boat, and think "Gawd, that looks as wide as a cruise ship. Think of all that space!". Have a great weekend!

[@MissScrappy]

So enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. Nothing makes you feel better than a bit of fun in the Sun! Oh..and you're so sweet to let someone borrow your "home".

[@nixtax3526]

Great to see you back out on the water, thanks for sharing

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

Great to hear from you Lorna great vid very picturesque London is amazing on the canals look foward to the next vid in camper or on board all the best donny

[@davethenerd1369]

Good to see you Lorna and that you are feeling better. This is like Victorian times where they sent people away to take fresh air. Of course London was dirtier in those days but I am sure there are benefits to getting out of the centre. Not one Lorna Jane boating adventures goes by without you saying "I love that boat". Don't ever win the lotto. You will spend it all buying 35 boats plus a marina to moor them! I too did like the tiny boat, with the even tinier boat which I guess is their floating shed!

[@paulroberts5677]

A great vblog. My favourite boat would be a 32ft Norman centre cockpit yoghurt pot, as my avatar. Another favourite would be a Halcion 27 sailing boat, but not on the cut 😁.

[@terryrigden4860]

Good advice on lock safety. Sorry to hear you have been unwell, hope you make a full recovery

[@sidneybowerman558]

I have given you a big thumbs up without watching your video, I just know its going to be great. Will watch it later today, it's just after 1am now, the life of a carer eh.

[@mopedinthemalverns6661]

Lovely - thanks for not editing out the GRP boats like a lot of vlogs do! I grew up with a GRP boat (Norman 32) and really miss seeing them. Thumbs up as usual.

[@lornajaneadventures]

I’m very tempted to get one. It would open up a lot of options

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

Lovely to see you back on the cut

[@catherinedeseton964]

Yes, good to see you out on your beloved canals and the tips about lock movements, the little things that as I as just a viewer, don't need but mean much more when I watch your channel and others....

[@scottfw7169]

Oh, no stress about being out in the weather, although human beings may not be permapress wrinkle free they are conveniently drip dry.

[@philanderson5138]

great to see a video with no drama. keep it up LJ!

[@for.tax.reasons]

Oh man there's so much to think about in a lock! It's very sweet of you to back up your friend hope they have happy cruising

[@lornajaneadventures]

He’s a pro now

[@judydean2922]

I’m so glad you show the names of other boats. They’re very interesting.

[@elainebines6803]

The rifle factory went from Enfield all the way down to Waltham Abbey. Fascinating place to visit. They even lay on a mini bus to tour the site and I understand you can either buy or bring a picnic. I went in a group and included in the cost was refreshments. They even have a small cinema which you normally watch a short film at the end. Great day out imo. Enjoyed your video as usual 👍

[@billy4072]

Nicely asset stripped by BAE 🤔

[@elainebines6803]

@@billy4072 The original buildings and land still there. Also a museum with all the artefacts, military guns etc... and fascinating about the torpedo bouncing bomb actually invented there and was portrayed in the dam busters film - all top secret at the time . Hopefully it has or will have, preservation order or similar soon. I know not a nice subject but it's history and I enjoy being educated 😉

[@edsageseamaster3440]

A great vlog Lorna. So nice to see you out and about done more. Thanks very much for sharing this. All the best and stay safe x

[@lucycolwell949]

your parents dont define you, you define yourself. you a re fab love lucy

[@dexterfitben]

I like the nice clean paint job on your boat. Is it new? Glad you're feeling tickety boo. The car came from Japan.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid keep up the good vid on the cut stay safe lee

[@CheckFred]

A pleasng little video :-)

[@MrSheckstr]

Things to add to the “fleet” of boats I am fantasy building for my family (engineering geeks we are): Parasol mounts on the afterdeck particularly onto the tiller mount

[@lornajaneadventures]

Good for hanging a rotary washing line too

[@MrSheckstr]

@@lornajaneadventures a Multitasker!!!! Doo doo do do doo Good Eats…. Sorry I have no idea if you even know who Alton Brown is

[@gavinbrookes8875]

Boat is looking really good Lorna .So good to see from the other side of the World. Maybe we get some more soon.😊

[@marvindebot3264]

02:06 That look, 😂 🧡 04:35 those moorings are beautiful how cool would that be, a boat and a backyard.

[@charlesxix]

Great to see you enjoying yourself again. Seeing one of the boats reminded me of a a chap who had a boat with the same name but the person in charge said it can't stay here so he changed the name to WE DREAM.

[@scottfw7169]

Seafood boat was a vivid as in VIVID red! :D It might have even been as bright as the red dot on the play/time bar at bottom of video field.

[@knutarneaakra6013]

Just great watching your vlogs. Makes me wanting to go there myselfe wisk i could

[@billherring3065]

Missing you and your videos

[@scottfw7169]

"Broad Bean" broad beam boat at 7:34, there really is an actual bean named broad bean, here, from a BBC wewbpage, "A member of the legume family, broad beans are pretty hardy and adaptable - they grow in most soils and climates. They’re a great source of protein and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins A, B1 and B2. In the US, they’re known as fava beans."

[@t1n4444]

Much favoured by cannibals of course ... not forgetting the nice Chianti.

[@lornajaneadventures]

They’re very in falafel. Much better than chickpeas IMO

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

@@lornajaneadventures I'm with you on that!

[@ncplantdoctor]

Wow. Boaty content from LJ. The moon must be blue.

[@mard7021]

It’s worth going to ware and Hertford

[@lornajaneadventures]

The whole Lea & Stort are worth doing

[@brianfalcus]

If you go on google maps satellite view a car similar to the one you saw is there too, spooky!

[@mikeweston7585]

Why is it that all the narrowboats are brightly painted and clean while the other boat types look as if ready for salvage? Glad to see you enjoying yourself again and hope to see more of you boating although, the camping and hiking vids are still entertaining.

[@lornajaneadventures]

GRP cruisers generally have a lower value and often are bought by people with a smaller budget, so there’s less money for cosmetics. And most London boaters only do it for a couple of years, so again cosmetic stuff takes less priority over engines and accommodation. There are plenty of scruffy narrowboats too

[@MrSheckstr]

@@lornajaneadventures it’s also possible it comes down to what material the visible surfaces are made of. From what I’ve been able to glean just from watching KZbin videos narrowboat owners that focus on keeping up appearances are constantly refreshing the paint on their boat because nicks and dings show up so easily on its surface AND that surface is relatively easy to paint compared to fiberglass (your yogurt tubs) minor scuff don’t show up as easily, but unfortunately the entire surface dulls easily and cosmetic refurbishment isn’t as easy because it doesn’t take kindly to amateurish attempts. It’s the difference between polishing white and black leather shoes. Black leather takes a lot more abuse and recovers with less effort while white leather scuffs if you look at it funny

[@nn-uj1iv]

great video, be great if you did video on your camera setup and editing workflow.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤,

[@sandbridgekid4121]

You looked pouty, frowzy and wet in this video, but you were actually quite ecstatic messing about in boats. From your narration we could tell that after a year plus of virtual inactivity you're chomping at the bit to begin more nautical and vanny adventures!

[@billy4072]

😂 nothing worse than an audience!
