I actually got excited when I saw there was a new vlog out. I’d much rather watch you two than almost anything on std tv. So many feel good vibes from you both (I’m not a hippie I swear).

[@BoatTime]

You're the best thank you!! That means a lot 🥰🤗 good vibes back at ya! x

[@jacksomb1]

The washing on the pub railings made me smile and feel good about stuff... Thankyou 🙂

[@BoatTime]

its gotta be done haha! 😋

[@clive6267]

I’m coming over from New Zealand to learn from you two about how to cope with stressful situations. I really seem to distress just watching you both. Lovely attitudes.

[@BoatTime]

Aw that’s really lovely, we are glad to help Clive! 🥰

[@newlifecomingsoon]

The very best of this video is seeing your rabbit friend looking sooo relaxed about everything and you two communicating with the walkie-talkies 😂 excellent job on the boat…and don’t worry, some public footpaths go through private property (public rights of way) 😌🙏

[@BoatTime]

Yes, he's the most chilled out of all of us 😂 Not sure he even knows he's on a boat some days! Thank you, that's really good to know! 😀

[@ginnybennett9400]

Clampetts on the Cut!!!

[@BoatTime]

😂😂

[@bronsont7280]

Thanks!

[@BoatTime]

Wow! Oh my goodness! Thank you so so much William that's so kind of you!! 🤩🤗 we really appreciate it!!

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Amy your atrue boater when you can hang your washing out anywhere, the pub railings was a good idea and I really like the spinning clothes line, also that trolly handle, maybe if you could buy a latte table brolly, that will give you great shade. You both are so good with taking on most jobs that need doing on your boat. You search how to do job, get the necessary materials and off you go. Great job with blacking. Are you going to change the name on boat? Hope you had great time on your camp out. I think every time you buy chips,you should score them out of 10.🤣❤

[@BoatTime]

Haha it has to be one sometimes when you live on the tow path 😋😋 Thank you! We try to give it all a go best we can 😊 We hope to change the name one day, but it will be when we repaint the boat so it can have the new shiny name on the paint job! 😊

[@nancinowlen3043]

I love outside dried laundry.

[@BoatTime]

It always feels so much fresher! 🧺

[@mytransitselfbuildcamper1496]

It’s not really cheesy 😀 I love my 20 year old little 32 foot narrow boat in exactly the same way 🙏

[@BoatTime]

Aw they are such special things aren’t they 🥰

[@tangs167]

Put your Brolly mate on your removable tiller handle as near to the wooden handle as possible, the brolly will then give you better shade. Glad the blacking got finished.

[@BoatTime]

Thanks for the tip! Will give it a go 😊☂

[@littleoldme205]

Well i certainly cant call you Bodge it and Scarper anymore as you did a brilliant job with the blacking and treating the rust patches, well done to you both 👏👏 In true Yorkshire style "Sling ya weshing overt railings" it'll be rate" Your a couple of very enjoyable classics. Thank you. 💙💖🐶🐰

[@BoatTime]

Haha! Perhaps that’s just one time we nailed it, I’m sure there’s plenty more bodge jobs to come 😂 Haha yep, you can take the girl outta Yorkshire 😅 thank you as always ❤️❤️

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Awesome vlog. Just so idyllic. Did you know with the long lead if you tie knots every 2-3 feet then should Rufus make a dash you just stand on the lead and the next knot will stop it. Looking forward to your next vlog. Stay safe and best wishes.

[@BoatTime]

That's such a good idea with the long line! Thank you!! 😊 Although Wes hates knots in things so don't know if he will allow it 😂

[@lynnekershaw5490]

Hi Amy I love a few miles from Foxton, the meals are nice in the pub on the bottom locks I love it there chips are very moreishX

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

She looks amazing you’ve both done a great job 👏 x

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! 🥰x

[@TheNomadicCrobot]

Awesome vlog guys, we must both have two of the shiniest hulls in the whole world now, well done on doing it yourself, we were lazy, lovely editing too see you soon

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! Check us out, shiny boat brigade 😂 huge compliment coming from you as your editing is top notch, thank you 👏🏻✌🏻

[@mikebridge.679]

Nice inside to that important aspect of boating. Thank you guys 👍👍

[@BoatTime]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@tonycarter3756]

Nice feeling getting the boat done .and interesting you feel part of it ,never had that in my nomadic existence . Potty about the lollies ! I put my horse on a long line when l got her as a wild animal and a pain to catch ,All well now 10 years on .👍

[@BoatTime]

It was! We do feel super attached to her, more than we thought!

[@karenwallace326]

Awesome

[@lockingthroughlife2587]

Brilliant analogy of how you feel for your boat Amy. Well done on getting that blacking done in such wet conditions. She looked well smart back in the water and you must be so proud of yourselves. Think I’m definitely going to treat myself to a brolly mate for drying washing when I get my boat. Love your vlogs so much. Take care ❤️

[@BoatTime]

Yeah it was touch and go but we got there in the end! The BrollyMate is good but would work better on a shorter tiller 😊 Thanks as always Phil, take care! ❤️

[@lilisanchez3517]

Well Done both... A Mazing!!! you did this yourselves... not an easy job and one many would not attempt... You must be sooo proud of selves... Thanxxx lots for sharing 🙂

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! It was a really big job but we're so proud to have gotten through it! 🥰

[@shaneejones5305]

You both did a great job on the boat and was lovely to here you both talk about how you feel about her stay safe and see you next week and was lovely seeing the horses x

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much! 🥰🐴

[@rachelshonahague5718]

Enjoy your chill out time you four, and friends of cause!😉 glad your underway and back in the water. As always of cause... stay safe👍xx

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! Stay safe too! 🥰

[@annhamilton2060]

You two are fabulous. Loved this video ❤

[@judiehenderson8904]

Hi great vlog, your suppose to put your tiller handle on to secure the brolly mate I love ours especially in the rain x

[@BoatTime]

Ah okay! Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@midlifecrisisboating]

Glad you liked the paint opener 👌

[@BoatTime]

Life saver haha! Thank you again 🥳😊

[@wendyjones4777]

Clean, rested and chipped made me laugh. Enjoyed watching this.

[@BoatTime]

Haha, thank you for watching! 🤗

[@fp30e]

Amy Wes, Rufus and Dupes, another excellent Vlog. Glad your blacking went really well, you guys worked so hard on your boat. You did a great walk thru the fields, glad you found your way back. Loving the way you both love to explore. Great to see Rufus running around on his long lead. So funny at the end of the Vlog, Rufus would only obey if his Mummy called him. Lovely seeing Dupes with his harness on having a little walk. When you went to the pub, I immediately thought "CHIPS", which made me smile. I'm sure that on some of my shopping deliveries I have been short on occasions. Have a fantastic week. Take Care.

[@BoatTime]

Haha!! You know us too well 😂 we can’t resist the call of the chips! 🥰 yeah I think it’s fairly common for the odd item to get missed! Thank you so much! As always, and take care! Xx

[@nancinowlen3043]

You did great!

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

The boat looks fantastic, you two did a great job. Dupes running on the lead was great. Sorry about your ice lollies. 🙏😊 Kathy

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! 🥰 yes he loves being out in the summer for a run around! 🐰

[@umbertoyltp]

What a wonderful feelgood vlog today. Even the animals were friendly. Seeing those sheep in the meadows reminded me of 'Sheep May Safely Graze' by Johann Sebastian Bach. Normally it is performed with a string quartet and flutes or recorders, there might even be a soprano singer. My all time favourite is the version of Wendy Carlos on Moog synthesizer, the singer versions are rare and not always performed beautifully. Well enjoy your summer on your lovely refurbished narrowboat, and thank you for sharing, you both did very well!

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 🥰 oh wow! That sounds lovely! Nothing compares to a well executed bit of classical! 🥰 Thank you so much! Xx

[@mikegbrozzy]

The boat looks absolutely amazing great job guys🇨🇦👍

[@BoatTime]

Thank you Mike! 🥳

[@clive6267]

Too boatery….. CLASSIC.

[@BoatTime]

😂 is there ever such a thing as too boatery

[@pamelasmith9784]

I really love watching your vlogs I started watching stranger things because of you two and I love it . 💕💕

[@BoatTime]

Yay! glad you like it, its such a good show! 😊

[@virginiakirkupscrolltoto7794]

Great blog guys, you work so hard xxx

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@aretha3707]

Tire a small floater on the side so wen u go close u wouldn't bruse up the boat that's wat we do in our country st.kitts

[@andy_nye]

another great video guys ... love your humour ... what was the name of the marina you was at for blacking ? keep up the good work

[@BoatTime]

Hey Andy! It was Debdale Wharf :) they were brill

[@rachaelfratczak1846]

Glad you got your blacking done, hard work but well done you two!! You're such hard workers but make it fun at same time. It's good you love your boat...I love it and I don't live on it 😆 great to see you back at Bridge 61, and loved the washing hanging out at the pub!! 🤣🤣 so funny. Was that Dream Cream from Lush I saw on the pub bench? Luv luv luv it! It must be so annoying when you don't get all you need from online shopping, I imagine it would happen with all supermarkets. Was away last week so only just watched it...and got tonight's to look forward to aswell 😀 take care lovlies xx

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! It was sooooo exhausting but so rewarding to get it done! 😊 Yes! We both love the Dream Cream! It’s lovely 🥰 Yeah definitely, especially if you’ve planned meals around it! Thank you so much as always, take care too! Xx

[@aptyson1960]

Love your vlogs. Just wondered about the washing line holder. If you put the t-bar holder on the other way so ducky is nearer the end of the tiller I wondered if you’d get more support? I don’t know how to explain it better.

[@BoatTime]

hmm, could give it a go but you dont want to put too much weight on the tiller bar! thank you though 😊

[@robtheplod]

Excellent vlog, lovely to see you both again! One comment i'd make is instead of Fertan, try using Vactan as that creates an undercoat also that you just paint onto - much easier than washing off Fertan.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much 🥰 ahh, good to know will try and get hold of some next time!! Thank you! 😊

[@melaneeeuless567]

You need those cushions you drop over to prevent damaging your sides of the boat

[@BoatTime]

We really want some, but they are often custom made and hard to come by :(

[@letsbefrank6269]

Happy to see you finally back in the water, can you not use fenders to prevent the paint being chipped off in the locks, or is there not enough room?

[@BoatTime]

We have front and back, and gunnel fenders. But the stern side fenders are custom made and hard to come by! :( but we would like some

[@shirleymassey9755]

Well done.love your boat.enjoy your travels know.would love tobe with you.🍟🍟🍟😄

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 😃x

[@ramseybarber8312]

Hi Looks like you need rope fenders to save your paintwork Cheers.

[@garylydement5020]

Agree Save their new paint work from the canal edge

[@BoatTime]

We have front and back, and gunnel fenders. But the stern side fenders are custom made and hard to come by! :( but we would like some

[@lizzieclayandfamily]

Aw great jobs guys on the blacking - shame about the rain though! Love your washing line, it's perfect! Did the strawberries make it? I planted some at the same time and have just got my first ripe one with lots of green ones! As always looking forward to the next episode xxx

[@BoatTime]

Yes! The washing line is working wonders! The strawberries have suffered a little from the heat sadly but we managed to give one to Doops first! 🥰 Ah wow! We need more practise 😅 thanks as always! Xx

[@CharlotteLittlerise]

Love these vlog so much they’re so calming, thank you so much for sharing your boating journey! We sell the same hammerite paint at my work lol, would you ever explore London’s canal routes? I know the towpaths get extremely busy tho, I sometimes pass Hackney wick canal and now I see it so much more differently after watching boat vlogs (l used to forget people lived in them lol) hope you’re all well ☺️

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 🥰 We would love to at some point, in good weather when we can approach the rivers when they’re calm. You can’t not visit London if you’re travelling around! 😊 that’s so sweet, thank you!

[@geoffamos6372]

Great work. Do you not use fenders to hove to against a lock or edge?

[@BoatTime]

We have front and back, and gunnel fenders. But the stern side fenders are custom made and hard to come by! :( but we would like some

[@ronnielloyd4676]

When the umbrella didn't shade where you wanted, why didn't you just turn the brolly-mate around 180 degrees? ;)

[@BoatTime]

It has a specific hole for the tiller pin to hold it put that is fixed unfortunately! Haha!

[@janelou458]

Wonder why you don't use your bumpers more? It would save the paint.

[@BoatTime]

You have to take them off for locks and because we move all the time it becomes a lot to un hook 6 every time, so we just take them off whenever we set off and put them back on when we moor 😊

[@shanehumberstone5262]

Anodes are looking good when were they last changed?

[@BoatTime]

not sure, seems they were pretty new when we bought the boat in 2021!

[@DameAndThatGame]

im no expert here and it may have been mentioned, i saw you were trying to replicate of that guys videos from Crusing the cut, i was also surprised by the method he used in the video for the rust, but it worked so well, the tool/ attachment you were missing for that multitool, was some kind of diamond/tile cutter attachemnt, he was maninging to get back to metalk really easy. just for future ease, grab one if you not already :)

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! Think we will pick one up next time for sure! 😊

[@elelegidoriginal]

What camera do you use for your videos?

[@BoatTime]

Just our iPhones! An iphone 11 and XR 😊

[@jeffings2696]

Where are your fenders??

[@deannamiller205]

Thought you were to sand rust before painting?

[@BoatTime]

We gave it a good grinding with the multi tool which was effectively like a more aggressive sanding 😊

[@originalpickaxe]

It's a shame you didn't have an extra day to get the gunwales fully treated and painted , would have been so much easier out of the water. Also for Amy's sake cut 6 inches off of that whirligig pole.

[@BoatTime]

Yeah it was a shame! We would’ve love to have done it properly. Haha yep, the barge pole is pretty long, but for good reason! 😅

[@mazack00]

20:36 i'm curious if you've obtained a professional opinion about using that body lotion from lush.

[@BoatTime]

Why?

[@mazack00]

@@BoatTime I've heard some of the ingredients can make rashes worse. Was hoping you had some info.

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

A "multi tool downstairs?" Is some kind of a new thing you kids are doing? Not judging but I'm judging. lol

[@shanehumberstone5262]

My girlfriend regularly gets vegetarian sausages substituted with normal sausages on her Tesco orders 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@BoatTime]

oh god yeah tesco can be so random with substitutions! 😂 we usually turn them off because you never know what you are gonna get

[@garylydement5020]

Should have masked off all the non black bits guys Make life easier lol

[@BoatTime]

😂 we thought we would be able to keep it off the paint job but we were wrong Deffo should mask next time!

[@davidbramley6730]

Hi you 2. You be better off buying a angle grinder and use rotary sanding attachment discs. Multi tool is great for wood work jobs. Not really suitable for scraping rust. You makeing hard work for yourselves. Dave.

[@BoatTime]

Ah okay! We’re still new to power tools 😅 thanks!!

[@Seany365]

Where are your fenders?

[@BoatTime]

We have them! But they dont cover that section where we had bumps. You can get some that do but they are custom made and hard to come by!
