Smart preps. Love, love black n white movies and 1920's, 30's British/American mystery books.

Magnus,,,I feel your pain and pleasure. It is very rarely that I can get good UK beer out here in the Land of The Rising Cost of Living. But as I have written before, we can sometimes get Wychwood beers at an import offie near my extremely better halfs parents house. I have had an awful week, I have worked 13 hour days every day this week, educating the sons, daughters , company employees and students of the Japanese Empire,,,Last night, I got home from teaching in a small city an hour or so from here,,,sweaty, hot, thirsty and exhausted.... She had visited her parents and on the way home picked me up 3 bottles of Hobgoblin - ah I love it - and a Black Wych - had it before and wasnt overly keen - but I was never going to complain to her!!! I had one with my dinner last night and now set for the rugby tomorrow!!!! Not sure if my nerves can cope,,,,both Wales and Japan are playing!! As always loving your videos,,,,Thank you

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Cheers Ian

I wonder what Captain Bligh would think of all these gadgets. Puts their accomplishments into perspective, doesn't it? I love (and depend on) our modern world but sometimes I wonder what we have given up (or lost) for it.

[@owenpotter2459]

Were you talking about Theakston's Old Peculiar? I used to serve that in an old pub just outside London in the 1990s. It was treated with great respect and for most, approached with caution!

[@hugorune766]

22:40 ish onward, you opening that beer, and you LISTENED to it... it reminded me of my life back in 1990, working in Libya, brewing my own beer... bottling it... then opening it... did it fsshh? yes, good beer, or no, flat shit.... but still drinkable in the Libyan desert where nothing else is available :( edit: lol yes, anticippointment, that was my Libya beer brewing experience, in general very dissappointing experience, but nothing else available... Please understand, getting ingredients suitable for brewing in Libya was hard, I had to import some things, but the malt.... that was a malt sugar for kiddies feed... bottles.... that was the hardest thing, driving through the desert you would see a glint, drive towards it, and see something not cappable... very much anticippointment

[@fawkesp]

Magnus, care to share your bread recipe, it looked (and smelled) delicious! Peter.

[@edmilsonsilva7283]

I love your wind vane

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We love Wally too. He's one of our best crew members! W.

[@kathleenlench4087]

Love all your videos

[@millzee60]

I don't know of anyone who enjoys a good beer more than Magnus. Cheers.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent vid ya'll.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks you. W.

[@sarahmartella3381]

Hi Magnus Wendy Looking forward to seeing you back on a Narrow Boat in the future.' Nutshell 3' : - ) lots of love xxxx

[@timebandit9469]

I seem to remember that the brewery Shepherd Neame also make a beer called 'Spitfire Ale' which they describe very humorously as The Bottle of Britain. You should definitely try that one if you can find it mate, it's an excellent beer. Thanks for a great video.

[@jonnorousseau3096]

I heard of it in my time in the UK, another old favorite is Morlands Old Speckled Hen, named after a race pedigree sports car, MG or Morgan if I recall, there are some great beers/ales/ bitters in the UK. I miss them so much, and a proper job local pub

[@jonnorousseau3096]

..........You know when........You know how.....😂😂😂😂 Love it. Great job thanks for that, you're both legends, as is nutshell, Great boats are Hans Christians, way out of my league😂😂😂

[@ianwebb1902]

Thank you, you two,,,wonderful videos. Wendy, how the hell do you cope? Yeah,,,your husband I understand - he is like that McGiver guy,,, but as my wife, Japanese, says,,,I would be clapping -sic - myself out there!! So would I!! Great entertainment!! Please keep em coming....

[@thecanucklehead7351]

Back in the day, the nearest pub to the barracks I was in was a Shepherd and Neme - their bitter was terrible we used to call it sheep dip. First night out I had one pint then left for the next nearest pub, was back within the hour the next pub was a Badger Ales pub - their bitter was even worse. Though to be fair both breweries have always had some really good specialty beers. Finished up cutting it with a bottle of Mann's. Thank God for the selections we have today lol. Fair winds:)

[@paullapper8702]

The power of nature is awesome

[@WaldeSailing]

Nutshell!! How great to watch some of your videos! Hope you put our wisker pole to good use!

[@LifeinaNutshell]

The whisker pole was fantastic! Thank you so much. You changed our destiny! W.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

[@andrewb4556]

Hi nutshellers, oh man, I could nearly taste that beer M, hope the wind shift didn't upset things.

[@paullapper8702]

Good time

[@tomas5376]

Hopefully you shared it with Wendy!👍✌️😊🙏🏼🍻

[@paullapper8702]

What an experience

[@MrLeventdelamort]

Did I hear you mutter something about "One we're back on a narrowboat in a couple of years time." ? Oh Shame, say it ain't so! Narrowboat--> NOOOOOO> "Well, here comes another lock, or, look, we're doing 2 knots on the Ribble Link!" >>>> YAWN! I love you guys!!

[@maryc7830]

Nice to see you again. So nice to see your husband enjoy his beer. 🍺 that bread looked yummy! 😋

[@paullapper8702]

Saw ice balls in ocean doing fisheries patrol in the grand banks looks like basketball size semolina amazing

[@doncollins9331]

[@ricksellers2977]

Thanks for sharing I so enjoy your adventures

[@paullapper8702]

Good ship fantastic crew and captain g

[@pnwesty7174]

New sub. Did you do a video of how you set up all the navigation redundancies? Cheers!

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Not yet. But it's coming.

[@Kitfoxmk1]

Going to Faversham tomorrow, will pass the brewery. They do a good brewery tour, next time you’re over come and visit. No canals in this part of Kent though.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Hi Colin. Sounds like a great plan. W.

[@JCDiamond]

You make it look so easy! I'm in the UK very soon - I'll look for that beer!

[@Terranhumanityproject]

Great video! We love them all!

[@gerilarryogle970]

Ahh! So glad to see that you were able to shoot out a vlog. Cool. ANNNND!! A beer review crossing the equator. YES! I tried to get/order/beg an old peculier ale. The closest that I can get is going to Dallas, TX. I guess that I'm going to have to wait until I get back to England, too. Thanks again for the videos.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Amazing footage, and incredible editing! All love and best wishes to you both! 😀🤗😘😘✌👌

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thank you Claire. I'm enjoying learning more and more about editing. There' just so much to find out. W.

[@FrazzledPup]

Really enjoyed seeing the tech you're using

[@seaslife2024]

Great video as always. I'm in the UK so I think I'll try a bottle of that beer. All the best Steve.

[@katerh3198]

I loved your Narrowboat series - such beautiful scenery. Great vlog -- makes me want to try beer again. My Dad waxes poetical over OP too

[@TheSkskitey]

You won't get lost with all those GPS's and a excellent idea to have lots of backup , Captain Cook would be flabbergasted . What do you mean in a few years you will back on a narrowboat , please explain :-)

[@LifeinaNutshell]

In a few years we will finish our internal circumnavigation of England.

[@numberplateguy8511]

Always good to see magnus enjoying a proper beer Nearly as good as a Guinness

[@williamretallick6437]

Drink right of the bottle?

[@gebi4pejo1]

Cheers...

[@paullapper8702]

Miss sailing

[@ian-c.01]

One of my favourite beers, shame I can no longer enjoy it but great to hear your impressions !

[@Dozz70]

Fantastic you two....great Vlog!! Be safe and have fun......Thank You Mark in Florida

[@greggobleman270]

I don't know why I thought that I would only see a Signalink USB in a hamshack. I have used one for years running RTTY and a number of digital modes. Hope it's working good for you.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

It works a treat. Cheers

[@moejaime2654]

or make a Faraday cage and keep some backup electronics in it !

[@paullapper8702]

Spent 17 days in the North Sea off Scotland in a destroyer we were getting spray on the bridge all hatches battened 75ft boot top to ridge we had to get pissed to sleep

[@bren106]

*Was that a little teaser/spoiler, "once we're back on a narrowboat in a couple of year's time"?*

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Yep. We'll be back. Unfinished business. Cheers

[@rickpowell4048]

Dam that, just as i opened Me Beer, You go n Look.!

[@michaelsouth2567]

Neat integration! All iOS devices, or some Android or Windows? Historically unlikely you'll hit an OS bug that crashes all of them, or get some kind of forced update, but...

[@Drivewaysailor]

Was that Neptune asking for his share of the beer?

[@barbroevanderlindquist4128]

Hej! Intresting, isen't it a risk to use to meny system at the same time?!.....do you have a sextant on board too!? Can't help beeing nostalgic in mass as i see the Evinrude outboar motor! My Father buyed one in America in the 1950 ties and taked it home onboard a ship. It was hanging in until it was in a trash container at the end of the 1980 ties! Magnus don't you have a pipe of some kind and some dryed peas or beans to shut on the birds! My not harm them to mutch. Tafs in weire is that not a good model when have a stady revf out? ! BarbroSweden

[@flamenco1961]

Look at you couple of Shellbacks!

[@josephcrawley3095]

Do you guys use weather fax?

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Yes. It’s very reassuring to have that information.

[@leedavies3629]

Brilliant✌️

[@carlthor91]

So how far did the kegs last? Cheers gang

[@paullapper8702]

[@thumpergman]

You should teach the USA navy the software redundancies to stop them running into other ships 🛳

[@jonnorousseau3096]

Or the lighthouse at Finnesterre.....😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@philrogers1758]

is that i sailor better than open cpn ?

[@moejaime2654]

What happens if a huge lighting bolt fries everything on the boat and leaves you without any eyebrows ??

[@LifeinaNutshell]

I have paper charts. We keep 2 handheld GPS units in a metal case.

[@narrowboatlongpod4176]

It is Britain’s oldest brewery, so they ought to know what they’re doing.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Hi Mike. Really enjoyed a British brew. W.

[@JoeTheLion60]

If everything fails - watch the movie "On The Beach" (1959)
