Audlem to Woodseaves Cuttings

[@LesMortsDansants]

Gary you're an inspiration to so many people going through tough times, seeing the positives and the beauty of the world around you. I hope you get to keep Chugs but no matter which boat you're on in 12 months times, you know where you and the boys belong now - on the cut. Stay safe and well and keep seeing the good things around you.

[@aprsonalaccnt2235]

I love watching your videos while having breakfast, they lift my spirits ❤️ Be proud of your emotional strength!

[@stevechapman8631]

Thank you for the mention Gary. We had a great time with you and Malcolm in Market Drayton. A great evening and great company. Cheers mate, good luck, and long may the gentle waters carry you and the boys on its beautiful meanderings.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It was great to meet you and Caroline matey and I'm sure the cut will let us meet again. Nearly missed you when we passed so it was a good job you knocked on the window lol

[@NarrowDreams]

Lovely video. Really hope you can manage to keep Chugs, but if not there will be new memories to make on another boat. I'm sure there's a lovely lady out there who would love to share it with you too, we've not met, but I can tell what a lovely fella you are. Keep smiling xx

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Kind words, thank you

[@ianofsjkartwork]

Very interesting & enjoyable vlog Gary the TV star.........hope it all turns out for you in the future.......stay safe.....thanks for sharing

[@nessiebarton6519]

This was all holiday territory for me a couple of years ago, very fond memories of that stretch. A few more demons down and more memories made, you seem to be where you belong on the cut Gary, long may it continue.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thank you x

[@okt1637]

Keep positive. Lovely to see you and your two beautiful crew members. My chihuahua I had used to cover himself in a cellular blanket thinking he was incognito and all the time he was peering through the holes!!!! 👁 👀😎!! So funny 😂x

[@gizmoinasia6080]

Ive been in the same position some years ago now, i sold everything but i bounced back with another boat, and the future looks good, so just fight the good fight things will get better along the way, all the best great video cheers.

[@susanleadbetter8639]

Oh Gary , so sorry, hope you get to keep the boat and that something can be worked out amicably for you. Watching the end felt like a goodbye.....hope we see you again . Sue and Dave

[@pilpelet100]

Thanks for posting. I hope you get to keep Chugs.

[@ghunter6292]

Hi Gary You are a inspiration for me being 50 years old and having to sell my house looking to have a boat built so driving to Sheffield to see some boatbuilders wish me luck I also want to vlog my journey too is it easy to do as have never video myself ever We also share the Name Gary which is a rare find nowadays Take care and hope to meet one day on the waterways Gary

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Aww good luck to you both hope it all works out

[@ralphwood9865]

Another nice vlog Gary ,glad you've got Malcolm to keep you company.Chin up mate take it one day at a time. *Cheers from Canada*

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Thanks Gary for another great chapter of this adventure, I think it's great that you decided to chug on with Malc and the boys as things can only get better particularly with the positive attitude you are taking during these times mate. Been there and I'm proud of you, take care and all the best. Stevie

[@kenneyg100]

Thanks for sharing. It's always good to talk things through. Best of luck and hope you can keep Chugs. I remember the whole design process. It seems so long ago. Enjoy the rest of the trip.

[@Kat69nh]

Glad you and Malcolm are doing the canals together. Chip and Dale are the best therapy. I have my GG. Prayers

[@Tony-nn3gl]

Nice one mate. Just tell them point blank you are not giving the boat up.

[@justplainlaser]

Greetings Gary... Thanks for sharing that lovely cruise... That fisherman tree stump was brilliant... I just love it when someone gets creative like that... I just love those Shroppie bridges.... Built by craftsmen who took pride in their work... Here in south Africa the law allows suing the 3rd party for causing a breakdown of a marriage and proof of infedility results in the other party getting pretty much nothing in the settlement... Good luck with you legal affairs... I'm rooting for you matey... Keep safe until the next one...

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thanks Mike I'm so glad you enjoyed it

[@stuartcox2785]

What a likeable chap I saw you yesterday coming into over water while walking my dog. Heidi is right you are lovely. Hope to have a coffee with you one day. Stu

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Yes matey a coffee is definitely on the cards, funnily enough I've just messaged you the same thing lol

[@AdirondackNative51]

Such a nice cruise we were able to enjoy with you today. Don’t let the memories get you down. You can end up mired in the past and that’s never a good thing. Looking forward to the next cruise. Take care.

[@hilarygibson3150]

Glad you didn't turn back, you would really regret not getting as far as you could. Tough times are tough times wherever you are may as well be somewhere new. See you soon and don't let Malcolm lead you astray, you know what he is like.😁

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Too late lovely he already has lol xx

[@davesvanlife7024]

Another great video Gary, please keep them coming. I know I don’t know you but you come across as a totally decent person and have no doubt you will find true happiness again. Damn I sound soft but what the hell. The sound of chugabug on the water is so relaxing and I’m not even there. Looking forward to the next video. Take care.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thank you Dave

[@hilarygibson3150]

I know Gary in real life and he is a top bloke!

[@outsider5112]

Must be "Cows Week" - Stay Safe 😂

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Lololol

[@Mark-ct5dh]

I would hope you will fight with all your might to keep Chugs! I realize that it’s none of my concern but I just couldn’t keep silent! Anyone with eyes 👀 can see that you love Chugs! Hopefully something can be worked out. Mark from Colorado.

She's got me built in her bud

[@robertbaxter4021]

I'm pretty sure that warehouse is something to do with Cadbury's / Bonneville. I think I have an old black and white postcard with it on somewhere.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I think so too, thank you

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Looking good on the cut

[@borderreiver90]

That was one very tiny boat…..

[@lesliewoodmobile]

It's a shame I didn't know you were coming into are town of Market Drayton. I would of brought you and Malcolm a beer my friend. What pubs did you go to?

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We're here now lol

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We're in the Salopian Star

[@lesliewoodmobile]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips so you got to meet my Brother in law Ade Harvey, he's one they broak the mould straight after but he has a good heart. The next time you guys are are passing let me know and the first beers on me. Look forward to the next video and keep that chin up.

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

I will have one of those cottages by the lock please! Your personal life and your financial situation are none of my business, however, I just wanted to throw this suggestion out there. There seems to be a large community of narrowboat enthusiasts on youtube. If push comes to shove, what about doing a go fund me to help keep Chugabug. Where I live, the boat would be considered community property and if one of us wanted to keep it, then that person would have to buy the other one out. Many hands make light work and many wallets can accomplish what one cannot. It is just a thought, as you do not charge for your videos so I am sure many subscribers would be happy to help if they are able. Ok, you can tell me to mind my own business now.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It's been suggested before and thank you but I could never turn to charity

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips I can totally respect that.

[@stuhall2689]

I hope you get to keep chugs but another boat will become home I'm sure. Fingers crossed for you buddy.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Cheers Stu hope your day boat was fun

[@stuhall2689]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips It was an eventful day for sure, the boat was great but take a look and give us a thumbs up and watch until after the end credits to see the topping on the cake lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/joCVoIWpjrypfLc

See! Chip and Dale get cold while travelling! I haven't heard from you but I still have their jumpers. If you don't want them, then don't worry. all cool :)

Gary glad you are going on trips But you are old enough now get on with life and get over having a partner you need to make changes and not follow mistakes life is to short mitereal things don't bring happiness
