Loved the music Joe. Is there a playlist somewhere?

[@MatthewBrownUK]

Sorry to be a killjoy but are you happy to endorse an illegal Bike according to UK law? Maybe a disclaimer in future? Otherwise love the videos.

[@ItsOhJoe]

I haven’t got a playlist but keep meaning to include the songs in my description - I’ll try and add them!

[@ItsOhJoe]

@MatthewBrownUK - someone mentioned a video which shows the chap claiming it to be illegal - I did watch it. The maximum weight an EAPC can be no longer has a limit (I think he was reading some older legislation or something) - and with the throttle power, all of these bikes can be adjusted to restrict power or de-restrict for off road use, so a limit can be set easily enough (I’ve done it myself) - but yeah I do think they should have been shipped with a limit set, I think that’s all

[@PawLurk]

@@ItsOhJoe 250w Is the Maximum allowed on UK Roads classed as a Bicycle. Adjustable Restriction doesn't make it UK Legal. Having a Motor that can do over 250w classifies it as a Motorbike - as does having a Throttle. Either of those conditions mean they'd need the bikes to be Road Certified as Motorbikes, and the Rider would need a Motorcycle License to Ride one if/when it was Certified as a Road Legal Motorbike - which it won't be in its current form, as it lacks things like Wing Mirrors, License plate etc. You could very well be putting yourself in a fair bit of trouble publishing video of you riding this on the towpath - the bike could be confiscated, and you could end up with Points on your License and a Fine (if the local Constabulary saw this, and decided to take action).

[@robertcarter5491]

The radiator cap increases the water pressure and higher water pressure increases the waters boiling point so your engine doesn't overheat

[@annjarvis9300]

Awww grand to see how happy you are being back together hope you have a lovely few days together tc now luv from the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍🌟🌟🌷🌹🌷🌹

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks so much! It’s great to be back together even if it is only for a short time ☺️

[@akilby8022]

Great to see you back Danni, we’ve looked after Joe 😂😂 He hasn’t run aground or crashed 😂😂. He’s got really good at taking aerial photography 👍👍

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks so much! It was good to be back albeit briefly ☺️

[@jillosler9353]

Two happy loving bunnies ❤❤! Great to see you Danni, Joe has been a good boy in your absence but has missed you 😢💔. Enjoy your short holiday.

Well done Joe on the reversing episode 👏 Welcome home Danni, enjoy your visit ❤

Willow bridge marina just south of MK will crane you out and let u DIY , not to expensive probaby a day or 3 north of where u are you, good luck dude 👊🏽

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks for that I’ll have a look!

[@SallyCurrell]

Hey an adventure. Definitely don't want to get stuck like that again. Such a shame you couldn't make it to the end of the arm. Great to see Danni again. She looks great and clearly enjoying her time on Jersey. Have a great time away. Xx

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks so much!

[@Dan-fg1zv]

I used to live on Sark and worked at La Sablonneire Hotel on Little Sark. Definitely worth a visit. Love the Channel Islands.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Definitely want to visit Sark when I get the chance!

[@jenniferpruden4059]

Nice video. Have a good few days with Danni. Nice to see her back🎉. Liked that bicycle Joe. Take care and stay safe.🙋👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@penneynoss9552]

Hi Danni and Joe, wishing you safe travels on you next adventure and hopefully no ferries or bad weather .

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@mattbeeney4745]

Joe. Love the beer of the week feature. Would be nice for you to buy beers local to your location though. You’ll get some cracking beers on your travels.

[@Jackley.32]

Hi both. I am very new to the channel and I am watching the videos at random at the moment. I intend to go back and watch them in order, but I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying them so far. I didn't think I had any interest canal boats but you are such an engaging couple that your videos are lovely to watch regardless. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you so much that’s very kind!

[@adm-bjmn]

I met this bloke called rod on my up to Trent and Mersey and he taught me a trick for the down locks, if there’s a stair set on the way out you can can pull the boat out by the rope until your sterns just passed the gate and it’ll just stay there. Run up and shut your side, back down the stairs jump on and off you go. Saves mooring up. Scary stuff the first time but I got the hang of it. When your solo and got no one to help shut the gates it really helps keep up the momentum.

[@matthewwoodward2738]

Great to see Danni back, jersey looks lovely. Keep up the great content guys, a;ways a treat ❤

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks so much!

[@Daydreameruk]

I’ve also done the ‘paint the under bonnet liquorice black’! It was a white Volvo, and it went right down the side, all the way along it. Christmas Day night, on my own, Worcester to Newquay Cornwall. That much snow I had to ride the white line all along the A30!!! Damn that filler cap wandering off for a jolley!!

[@peterbell6425]

Nice to see Danni back on board and I hope you both have a great few days in Budapest & Bratislava. Joe when you talk about a right of passage do you mean doing the blacking yourself? it that's the case then good luck with it, I helped a friend to black his 57 footer and we both swore never to do it again and let a boatyard do the work we were knackered at the end of it. I hope your going to get professional help to do the engine install please don't attempt that on your own; too many pitfalls mainly due to the dead weight of the engine.

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

Great to see you back together. The bike looked fun. Enjoy your holiday 😊

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@malcolmrowe1794]

Danni, glad you are enjoying your time in Jersey. The Channel Islands are Crown Dependencies and not part of the UK. You must visit the Underground Hospital and the German fortifications at Noirmomt Point. Gordy Castle is worth visiting and looks spectacular when it's floodlit. Have you tried Mary Ann Special beer yet? The French coast is only 14 miles from the north east corner, Rozel and St Catherine's, and can be clearly seen on a clear day.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thanks so much! Saving the war tunnel for when Joe arrives. I’ve been walking around Gorey castle a couple of times too ☺️

[@petecollins764]

Hi both We love your vlogs we watch them all . Can I just say we also live on narrow board , but walking along the TOW path get fed up with whizzing cycles going past us !

[@decco]

Awesome reversing section in the video, that had me chuckling. Bet the wind didnt help.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Not at all 😩

[@dingnextstop]

Great to have met you in person the other day Joe ( Saturday @Slapton) , ( BMC 1500 Boat) you did well going from Tring Summit through to Slapton single handed, you left this morning ( Sunday) before I had chance to say cheerio but hopefully one day will see you again. Cheers 👍🏻

[@bluedeva]

The world is spinning right on its axis having Danni back even if it was just a lil pit stop to top up both of your love/soul batteries. That’s so sad that you don’t get to enjoy Aylesbury fingers crossed that you find somewhere not too expensive 🤗 did have a lil chuckle when you took your glasses off so you could cheat seeing Dani’s pressies, I’m the same when I take my glasses off 🤣😂🤣

[@ItsOhJoe]

😂😂😂

[@pompeymik]

Usually you get oil all up on the back window with a major leak, put the cap on your radiator! Pressure helps it heat enough to open the thermostat i believe...love you two, love the channel ❤

[@markrant1460]

Hi Joe, Hi Danni Danni great having you back and sharing a bit about your time away. Joe, how frustrating to have to back up so far. In that section of the video there was a sound which one might identify as a slipping belt. Maybe worth looking at as it would be a real pain having the belt go. Looking forward to your adventures on the continent. Mark Alberta, Canada

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Aww two happy bunnies. Enjoy the time and have a great holiday.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@petercurrell9344]

Put the boat in reverse at tickover and steer the boat with a long pole from the front.

[@Dj_Dude]

Looks so cozy on thos boats😎You did master the reversing great Joe👍My wife and her fameily did travel alot to england with thos channel boats when she was a 7ish like 30 years ago,but i never done it my self tho.But i only bean to england 2 times,and that was in london in 2014 and 2019 in liverpool😎Today i just stumbel over yours yt channel so i decide to follow you 2 cuz it was chill to watch you 2 and you both did see to be so happy people🙂Best wishes from Norway and hope you both enjoy your trip👍

[@janroberts1815]

Great Vlog, Great drone footage 👍Enjoy your trip together 👍Welcome home

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@normanamey9828]

Welcome to the Channel Islands! Not that there is any rivalry, but you went to the wrong island 🤪. We’ve been in Guernsey for 15 years.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Aw I plan to visit Guernsey soon! Any suggestions welcome!

[@normanamey9828]

@@ItsOhJoe St Peter Port is beautiful, cliff walks on the east coast, coast walks on the west coast, pretty much all restaurants are fantastic, Cornet Castle, Cobo balcony gigs (depending when you come over) are a blast, Herm island, Sark island, Victor Hugo house is very unique, loads more WW II German stuff if you don’t get overloaded with it in Jersey and then there are lots of different events on throughout the year.

[@harryg7678]

Danni, what a ferry ride that must have been!

[@ItsOhJoe]

It was awful 😂

[@patsymartin3634]

That was a Beautiful Pour! It's a beautiful brew! Hello from Texas!

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@paultaylor9652]

Great video Joe, nice to see Danni 😊

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@PKWeaver74]

A radiator cap normally (at least on a car) keeps the coolant under pressure which prevents it boiling at 100 degrees c. I suppose if it runs cooler than that all the time and you have no problems then fair play, but just thought I'd chime in.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah it runs around 80c usually - I tried the cap on again and it just creates airlocks so something going on with the system - it’s been find without it

[@glennclarke9787]

Great vlog Joe, Great ariel views 👍 👏

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@paulspiers5466]

Good to see Danni back and you two together. Reminds me of when my wife and I were youngsters in love. Joe the drone shots along with the music at around the 3:40 minute mark is sublime and, was so melancholy, but lovely at the same time. It hit me in such an interesting way emotionally, something I haven’t felt in a very long while. Who is the artist?

[@keithfranklin1225]

Really enjoyed the music as well and would like to know the artist 👍

[@ieonking1053]

I have the engwe pro, had it over a year great bike use it where i used to travel with the car!

[@jimm7165]

Love ya, Joe. But, yay Danni! Welcome back.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@helenblankley9843]

May have chuckled 😂 at you slipping

[@GrahamWest-k3n]

Tried your trick with pouring Guinness worked really well for me. Thanks for the idea

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah seems a fairly reliable way for a decent drop

[@neilyeomans9805]

Glad she’s back enjoy your mini holiday

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@johnwood1804]

would a t strainer sit nicely over the open radiator??? reguarding dry docks there is a dry dock on the warickshire Avon called Harvington mill dry dock. if you Google warickshire Avon dry dock and it should come up

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah that’s a good shout to be fair! Not sure Danni would be happy me using hers though so I’ll have to get another! Thanks for that but a little far away, I think I’ve sorted it now but cheers!

[@themanofthewoods]

You guy's need to go on the red line underground in Budapest. it will be worth it. The second oldest underground and it is amazing. And the castle district for the views over the city.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you! We ran out of time but we will be back!

[@VehiclesvsfordDEEP]

Hi Danni and Joe. Glad to see you back Danni ❤❤❤

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@peterandchell]

Hi Danni and Joe, Glad you got some time together after weeks apart. OMG I couldn't believe it when you come across that closure, we only watched Amy and Wes do that not long back and we said the same when you questioned whether to do it or not "why not eh, it's only small". Thos reversing skills are amazing! One question I have and I know you've spoken about them before, but what camera do you use for the footage on the front of the boat when you cruise please? Keep up the good vlogs, maybe we will see you around the midlands. We are setting off soon after renovating our boat :)

[@cherryturner9143]

I can't wait for the next episode. Brilliant as always xx

[@ItsOhJoe]

Thank you!

[@Roo-s_Life]

Oh my goodness Joe, that reversing, I really felt for you though you did make me chuckle when you're instant reaction to falling over was to check there wasn't anyone watching 😂 you really think they'd have closed it to stop you from heading down. Jolly well done and you kept upbeat 😊 I've done the Guinness factory tour! Woooo DAAAANNNNIIIIIII so great to see you 😃 glad you're enjoying Jersey. You will really enjoy the underground hospital. If you get time I'd recommend going to the Gerald Durrell zoo xx

[@ItsOhJoe]

Nightmare that was 😂 thank you!

good vid on the channel life on the cut good see daanni come back and you liveing the dream on the cut

[@ItsOhJoe]

Cheers!

[@duncanpoundcake]

Lovely drone shots 👍🏻

[@Orxenhorf]

Oh dude....... removing the cap also removes the pressure from the cooling system. Lower pressure will actually *allow* the coolant to boil at a lower temperature, making vapor locks inside the engine and allowing the vapor near the cap to escape reducing the overall quantity of coolant over time.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah but as I’ve said in multiple videos - there’s an issue with the cooling system where air locks develop almost daily on long cruises. With the cap off and thermostat out It runs fine and even when reversing with a bit of ‘rage’ on the throttle - it didn’t creep past 80

[@propsandcosplay]

Danni what work are you doing there It’s a great place to visit we went by air because it’s a lot quicker

[@ItsOhJoe]

I work as a nurse!

Went to Dublin 20 years or so ago. Quite young and daft, early twenties. Did the Guinness factory (not my choice, hate the stuff.) Got to the bar at the top to get our 'free' pint.

[@markbd5]

You fell over hehe 😂

[@ItsOhJoe]

😂😂

[@Terryb31]

Joe, you are running the risk of serious engine damage with the cap off. Are you aware that with every pound per square inch of pressure the water boils at 7 degrees higher. So my estimate of 7LBS pressure cap which would be normal for your engine. Your water will boil away at 100 degrees instead of 142 degrees. I know you have leaks, and a new engine to go in, but your'e asking for even more trouble.

[@ItsOhJoe]

Yeah understood - but with the cap on the system generates airlocks daily & then the engine overheats - for now this is the best way

[@Terryb31]

Sounds like a head gasket leak. Get that other engine in. . . . soon. 🙂@@ItsOhJoe

[@ItsOhJoe]

It’s weird as no sign of oil in the water or water in the oil + without the cap on it doesn’t lose coolant! Worth noting ive removed the thermostat to help as well, takes a while to get warm but happily sits at 80c ! God knows what it’s up to 😂

[@Terryb31]

Yeah, I agree, shame about the stoppage was looking forward to following the refit. Though I know it has to be done. Not aware of any other place that will allow self fit anywhere else. FYI, apologies if I came by you too fast last week. I did Leighton Buzzard to Limehouse in 4 days. See profile pic for my boat. Good luck you two. @@ItsOhJoe
