Do we actually enjoy cruising in winter? | Narrowboat life - 188

[@RetireMentalityChallenged]

I love how you and the bears just go about your way helping each other out and having fun.

[@sarahbooth8870]

It didn’t look like a time lapse but it did make me laugh a lot 😂

[@BoatTime]

We’ll take it 😂😂

[@coraclouden2506]

Hey. There are hand and foot warmers called Hothands. They last for about 8 hours. I use them when winter camping. They'll be good for when you are cruising in cold weather

[@cliffhalse1326]

Stand on rubber matting to keep your feet warm And make Rufus a cover where your coal bags are to keep him cosy

[@BoatTime]

Ooo good tip thank you! Rufus is fine he’s just dramatic 😂

[@Usakolover]

I move to Dallas Texas 3 years ago but I was born and raised in watford and it was so nice to see a snapshot of how it has changed and I remember all the amazing summer days in Cassie park that 30 walk isn’t fun at night when there is no light in the park

[@annemccabe1714]

Hi guys I would love to do what you do all my life I said I would do that when I retired I just retired on 2 Oct last year but the last twelve months I have lost both legs to sepsis and my wife won't let me do it now you are a great couple and I am jealous of you both I will keep watching you good luck ken ❤

[@Katrina3121hikes]

20:24 so cool! Thanks for highlighting the old dents😊

[@lynmoore8355]

love this trip my area of the country, I lived in hemel hempsted in one of those flats about The Marlows...... and I worked in Berkhamsted, I used to ride my bike along the canals to work and sit by the canals for lunch... did you know that Roger Moore was born and Bred in Berkhamsted.....yep the one james Bond....

[@sarahbooth8870]

Amy I’m totally with you on the indents in the stone. My Uni was a really old building and I was so charmed by the worn stone steps thinking about how many had trodden there before me over the centuries. Fellow nerd alert 😂

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Amy and Wes. Winter cruising looked cold and wet. It was so good you did this video as well as the Vlogmas series as it summed up the month of December. Have a great rest of the week 🥰 Take care. Nick

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Amy the boat wash idea 👍 Seems you've done loads of locks on this cruise. A chip celebration is overdue. 😊💚

[@talesfromthetiller]

Another great vlog, we love winter cruising, it is like being on a millionaires canal, passed 1 boat yesterday and none today :)

[@daveparry604]

Yay! You passed me in Hemel at 16:51 in the video. Must have been out at the time.... We have the same reaction to the Berko Greggs every time!

[@trevorburridge7785]

We had trouble getting into the same lock two years ago. Took three goes. Let loads of water down but by the time we got off the mud we still could not get into the lock. Third time lucky ! Elliott & Sue had trouble with same one last year. So much for maintenance! It is the rugby ball shaped hole when the lower gates are shut which is caused by boats rubbing when using just the one gate.

[@margaretpijnaker9922]

Ll all vd😢😅

[@sallyu1]

We stayed up to watch this one and it was well worth it. Another great fun filled vlog but still very real xxx

[@MistresMind]

Boat wash😂😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉GO AMY!!!!!😊

[@lfidler13]

Yes... I must say, Amy went full in and had a theme song... She wins... Plus her giggle with the foam on her feet... even you must agree!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@BoatTime]

We completely agree, well put! 😂🥰

[@susanoshea8296]

Good to see you both have really warm hats on. If the heads warm , body is warm. Love going through the markets with you both. Soon be spring hang in there. Enjoy your porridge. Keep laughing and smiling.❤😊

[@claire0donovan117]

Nice cruse ,when you say Xmas vlog ,aw memories 😅,thank see you Friday .💚☘️🤗👋

[@mazack00]

Hah finally caught up to vlogmas! How fun :D

[@BoatTime]

haha yeah, now they should jump back to only 3ish weeks behind! 😊

[@heatherbaggins724]

Thank you so much for adding a date it helps in understanding the weather

[@BoatTime]

No problem 😊 We just add the dates when they feel relevant

[@traceyd9559]

Keep vlogging it inspiring us, do it full time 👍👍😘🍟

[@BoatTime]

Thats the plan! 🥰🤞🏻 thank you!! Xx

[@chrismis2062]

Quite a lot of soggy cruising in this one. I got shivery just watching you go through lock after lock in the drenching rain. I got a laugh, however, seeing one of your fenders lying up on the roof just in front of your hatch cover. It looked like a perfectly toasted marshmallow! 😄

[@rachelshonahague5718]

I want that Hippo!😃xxxx

[@johnmact5548]

Your vlogs always brighten my day. Thank you

[@MrCsKnotAnotherTie]

Fab vlog, love how you always seem to be in the right place when something is happening on that particular day.

[@natashab2304]

Love the boat wash scene 🥰🥰🥰

[@BoatTime]

Thanks! It was so much fun 🥰

[@RhianneMurphy]

15:59 TEEFS 😍

[@BoatTime]

🐶 little grains of rice teefs 🥰

[@annjarvis9300]

Glad you both wrapped up well against the bitter weather lovely vlog has always smiles even when freezing luv from the oldis tc🤗🤗🤗🤗👍

[@Roamingthecotswolds]

Must be cold on the UK canals but you seem to cope better than I would. Love the video.

[@A-contented-Aussie-life]

It's so funny. Your video today was about saying goodbye to the mud. I started remembering Wes carrying roofus in that night after he washed his paws in the shallow water. Love these videos, but I'm already looking forward to vlogmas 24.

[@RetroBytesUK]

Given we got to see this in Feb, I think Amy may have won the joke competition. If we had seen it Wes's joke may have had the edge 🙂

[@BoatTime]

Yep, looks like Amy’s won the people’s vote! 😊

[@shinylittlepeople]

Always enjoyable! You guys are the best! love seeing everything... always sending you both the best vibes! Keep up the great work! We appreciate you! 🤩🤩🦢🍀🍟

[@gailpz4764]

That collies face is adorable ❤

[@BoatTime]

Blue is SO cute 😍

[@groutmanalan5156]

Have only recently found your channel. Love your enthusiam, and optimism, especially with your DIY. No wonder your feet were cold wearing wellies - they are OK for an hour or so, but for longer, you either need thermal wellie socks, or better still, walking boots. Look forward to your next one.

[@garylydement5020]

Couple of questions Are you and the Bears going to go you're own ways at some point or happy cruising together How did you come up with the name Boat Time

[@_Tiamat_.]

💜💙💚

[@Roy66Nott]

That was an amazing bit of filming 11:37 , well i was amased anyway. Simple things... ❤

[@BoatTime]

Ah thank you!! Tried to do some fancy editing that took a while 🥰🥰

[@danlake5258]

My promise was good 😂😂😂 see you guys soon xx

[@suzanneelston2663]

Amy had the best joke especially getting the foam on her boots 😊

[@Northen-point-of-view]

Love it ❤

[@allantavener7378]

Amy's joke was funnier because it was accompanied by singing

[@BoatTime]

Very good point 😂😂

[@peterrutter7332]

Great vid. There is a reason I have a Honda. Not that, that helps 😂

[@shirleyneufeld351]

Oh my goodness, you need winter boots…🇨🇦

[@MrAnno1366]

There is nothing more British than a winter's Sunday afternoon stroll down a tow path and being overwhelmed by the smell of diesel engines and coal fires. It's a smell I know from my childhood that has never changed. My comfort blanket. However environmentally ridiculous it may be.

[@evercuriousmichelle]

There are some electric narrow boats, but yeah I have thought about that too

[@colinbarnes5850]

Get wes on get wes on the locks lol but then it would rain with shock lol😅

[@BoatTime]

😂😂 yes we definitely don’t want that

[@idreamofloki007]

Great fun video as always - although I don't envy you the bitter cold! As an ex-continuous cruiser on the Thames, now living off grid in Portugal, I'm curious: if you weren't living the boat lifestyle in the UK, where else would be an appealing alternative to you? Would you have a boat in another country with warmer weather, or a little piece of land (or maybe even both?!) And which country?

[@NarrowboatNogginTheNog]

Enjoyed the Vlog as always! Did I hear a 5th Element reference?

[@BoatTime]

Perhaps! Which one 😅 thanks guys! Xx

[@lisalee3981]

Sorry Wes, Amy won the competition. But it was because she sang, “working at the boat wash.” You guys are waaaaaay too young to know that movie. It came out here, in America when I was 16. Now, do THAT math!!!!!

[@skywardview]

Did you guys met James? From the narrowboat that James built?

[@BoatTime]

We have! He’s lovely 🥰

[@samwright8599]

❤❤

[@deirdreblower9581]

How long have you been crewsing with guys on Saorse do you plan your routes together

[@BoatTime]

We’ve been cruising on and off for over a year now! It’s mainly because we both wanted to do the southern network coincidentally at the same time 😊 we generally move together if it makes most sense logistically

[@rosie4runner965]

Who are your 2 friends? Do they have a channel?

[@BoatTime]

Yep! They're @BearsAboard! 🐻🐻 kzbin.info

[@terrypenfold4350]

​@@BoatTime🎉

[@rosie4runner965]

@@BoatTime Thank you. They seem lovely.

[@juliesutton4551]

Why was the water levels so low??

[@mishkawp8200]

Your feet must have been like blocks of win those rubber boots! They are absolutely the worst in cold weather. You need heated insoles or thermal liners if you are wearing them in winter!!!

[@suefryer4031]

Hi Guys did you know you can get heated in soles Also sheapskin in soles

[@BoatTime]

Heated insoles sound interesting! but we’ll pass on the sheepskin 😉🌱

[@suefryer4031]

Well I say sheep skin ...there fur but I don't actually know what there made of They sell them in the cheap shops TAKE LOOK for yourselves

[@playmate659]

[@Katrina3121hikes]

4:39 not so much like a time lapse. More like sims characters
