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.

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

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

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...

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.
