We Move Because We Have To (but we are so tired!)

We have to make a long journey over three days to get ahead of the winter stoppage, so we are cruising non-stop to make it happen.

when cutting nylon line, use masking tape on each side of the cut, cut with a sharp knife and then sear with hot flame ... just a bit of advise from an ole sailor !!

[@CruisingAlba]

Thanks for the tip, will try it next time 💜 xx

[@altacat9702]

: )

[@phil8239]

Just a quick tip on cutting rope and stopping it from fraying !!! If you wrap the part you want to cut with electrical tape, cut through the middle and stop it from fraying 👍

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Lovely vlog. Consider fitting gas struts to board then mattress on top, easy to lift mattress up to access underneath storage and no need to remove mattress.😊

[@aarondeck1884]

You nailed it again, another great video! The music was perfect. I'm not sure if you know how much your videos mean to people like me. I work the rat race, corporate America, and all the stress that comes with that. Your videos really help me relax and start the weekend on a good note. Billy Joel, the piano man, "Because they know it is me, their coming to see, to forget about life life for awhile." -Thank you.

[@CruisingAlba]

Oh wow so glad you are enjoying our videos, so happy to hear you are getting to relax with us 💜 Big hugs xx

Hi guys 😀 if ever you're in or around Kintbury and see a little white dog on a paddle board with Vicky (with really curly hair) please say hello she'll be very curious😉 Another lovely vlog thank you 😊💜 Suzanne

[@MelG-ut3hs]

That was a wonderful Autumn feeling relaxing vlog.

[@99999janice]

I’m surprised you guys don’t build a frame for the mattress with hydraulic struts That way you can easily lift it up anytime you want with supports and no effort. Just a thought. Thanks from Boston 🇺🇸

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Another lovely vlog the nature is beautiful at this time of the year. Enjoy the weather before life gets harder when the weather turns colder. I really missed you guys in the summer, I’m so glad you’re back again. xxx

[@scottfmurphy78]

STOP!! You have matching rain gear. I love you guys! I’m so close to having my own boat. I hope to meet you on the canal sometime.

[@jonturner3179]

Don’t blame you for missing out the marina. It’s a tricky turn downstream. Remember going through Woolhampton lock with you a few years ago. It’s still my least favourite!

[@mindless-confusion]

Love this video and know this section of the K&A so well - used to walk my dogs here every day - living about 5 minutes away - and well done for navigating into the Woolhampton Lock that is so trcky when the river is running fast

[@chevyimp5857]

What an adventure. And a really good short film... those river sections gets the nerves jangling..( been there)..

[@angelaaz6282]

Enjoy your time there…it looks sunny today at least😊

[@julieanneroberts4752]

Another relaxing vlog. Love love love Newbury 💙 our daughter lives there with her husband Henry (brother of Tim -Chugging.Along) such a beautiful historic market town. So relaxing strolling along the canal side or supping a drink in the Lock, Stock & Barrell pub right alongside the lock! 🫣…perfect for gongoozlers 🛶

[@CruisingAlba]

Ah lovely! We are fans of Chugging Along, we even met them once in Little Venice 💜xx

[@weezerr2d283]

Thanks for the video…I’m always enjoying your content…be safe !!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Enjoyed your cruise through the beautiful canal scenery to Canterbury. Tiring to deal with those locks and fast flowing water, but now you can relax and chill! :o) Jenny

[@debshunter1]

Love your vlogs!! May I please ask, the guitar music at around 4:25/4:30, what is that piece called? Thank you so much. x

[@royrdoesthings3896]

electrical tape the rope where you want to cut it first... cut down the middle of the tape and it won't fray..

[@dazwalkingman]

Do the massive water companies that take from the system pay anything to the CRT

[@Calvinus99]

14:05 This is not a vegan item.

[@bethfye8291]

BeUtiful and relaxing video this week and was soooo needed!!

[@CruisingAlba]

First of all we are not vegan, and about the condensed milk, it's a blast from the past. I used to eat this stuff as a kid. Couldn't believe to find it in a store in the UK!
