Hire-boaters moving in 50 mph gusting wind bash my boat.

[@susanleigh6964]

Glad you scored a windlass! They didn’t even seem to notice it go down.

[@brggmc]

Nice one Phil! You'd better follow those goons, you never know what you could pick up. The smile on your face as you hooked out the windlass was priceless!

[@lspringerjones]

As the poet said, "One man gathers what another man spills."

[@leeshellam3150]

50mph winds ? Your definitely no weather man .. the trees are not even moving 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@philbrooke-little7082]

Getting that sort of bump is pretty normal really. I get it regularly when windy, if they apologise, and they do generally if they see me, they don’t apologise to cratch cam, I just brush it off as unimportant which really it is. When people are on holiday they have to have at least some sort of itinerary to get the boat back and if the weather decides to fart then they have to deal with it and one can hardly expect them to be experts. I would never show a video of it unless it was extreme and deliberate muppetry.

[@martinmusgrave4701]

I've been boating for years and love the hire boaters and novice boaters, it gives colour to the canals. Tomorrow, next month or six months time I'll cock up my landing or winding hole. Once you think you're a professional, it's time to get off the canals. 😊

[@geoffreytapper3944]

That's not 50mph wind gusts, doesn't even look like 10mph.

[@tobystephenson7625]

And of course we were all experts after the 5 mins tuition hire boat firms give - a sorry for the bump would have been nice though - have seen a lot worse too both with hire boats and privately owned

[@stevepursglove1224]

Why didn’t you tell them that they had dropped their windlass.

[@MiscellanyofMishaps]

Because they knew.

[@qmmo]

And there's me thinking "you need a magnet Phil" & as if by magic, you heard me . . . . . 😹

[@paca_bill4863]

Bumper-boats! I think that used to be a carnival ride :) Nice recovery on the windlass.

[@MaritimeFox]

Nice one Phil, on the old/new windlass. You could call that a windfall 🤣

[@MiscellanyofMishaps]

They moored right on top of it and didn't even try to retrieve it. It's a good one.

[@lynettecoates4272]

So many antics on the cut..... what makes this vlog is the windlass footage and you finding it and without a magnet!!! X

[@SRDXXF]

These rev heads are dangerous, lucky nobody got hurt. Some serious mentalists on the waterways. Be safe people.

[@nate8551]

Not much wrong with that, we all start somewhere. It’s like when you hire a lease car you just have to rag it round it’s all part of the fun

[@andrewbarnard667]

No it isn't

[@davidhathaway8271]

Not if it adversely affects others and it usually does!

[@wonderingworld119]

The rewind replay rewind replay was not done for entertainment, it was done so Phil could easily locate it next morning. I think these cameras are going to pay for themselves in ways you didn't expect Phil.

[@carparkcampers8407]

@50 seconds in I was more impressed of how he retrieved the windlass

[@prof1798]

One windlass equals one hefty bump on the bow. Seems like a fair exchange to me.

[@geoffreyball731]

don't worry about the windlass, a magnet fisher will get that ...

[@naughtysquirrellyndatee96]

What a comedy of errors… and they didn’t look as though the gave a care.. glad your boat didn’t get too much damage and congrats on your new windlass😳🤗💜

[@shnboardman1]

It's a loaner 🤣🤣

[@shnboardman1]

They really didn't know what the heck they were doing

[@elspethawake4541]

If only you got a "prize" from all the careless boaters!

[@phillipbateman2284]

They didn't seem to worry too much about smashing into your boat. I wonder what their car's look like. You deserved a win, a windlass. Take care out there Phil.

[@johnbolton8606]

Have you got your boat repaired yet?

[@gordonmacaulay4848]

Hope that you followed them and sold them back their windless!

[@MrSheckstr]

Never once looked back did they? They were like a McDonald’s crew at 3 minutes to close that don’t want to turn the fryers back on

[@stephenhowarth7379]

It was like FI on water...proberly couldn't find the brakeing pedal....

[@dockovacs4089]

Fortunately your hull is steel.

[@dorothydotson7154]

Yay! At least you got the windlass.

[@CosgroveNotts]

Good advert for SportsDirect

[@wmanadeau7860]

Some people are just priceless.

[@Nbwarriorlifeonthecut]

This is tooooooo much. Throw the rope and windlass. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Priceless

[@kg8549]

👍👍👍👍👍👍nice fishing makes up for the scraped paint

[@davidhathaway8271]

You can some it up in one word Karma!😂

[@ewisty]

6 of them...what a circus

[@rayjaypaulsen]

Any damage to your boat? What's a Windless?

[@MiscellanyofMishaps]

No, just a scrape. A windlass is the tool you use to wind lock paddles, and some lift bridges.

[@rayjaypaulsen]

@@MiscellanyofMishaps Thank you Phil👍

[@chriswarburton1956]

Nice one Phil.. I expect most hire boats have a hard life..🙄🤷

[@quavernote4307]

I hope David Johns doesn't have that with his GRP boat well worth filming for any insurance claims !!

[@jammydoughnut]

Do you have any examples of decent quality boaters? Or are they all this clueless

[@MiscellanyofMishaps]

On my other channels I have 500+ videos showing good boating.

[@MrSheckstr]

@@MiscellanyofMishaps problem is, when nothing happens, nothing happens

[@velianlodestone1249]

I hope I never get to meet these people, on land or otherwise.

[@PaulCailey]

Great time of year lots and lots of clueless idiots on the system, blame the hire companies no real instruction.

[@loraineh59]

My goodness no respect for ...far to fast ....idiots......but very pleased you now have a free thingie.....🤣😂🤣😂

[@Riddlestar01]

I wouldn't trust people with my boat. ;-)

[@SimonJones-jy8ly]

Not even a ‘oops sorry’ 😡

[@debpartin8737]

I would just park up somewhere

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

This ^^ is why the network is in pieces. Ironically, it's the sort of thing (£££) CRT want more of.

[@MiscellanyofMishaps]

The Llangollen canal in particular gets a right bashing from all the hireboats.

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

I'm on K&A, West side, if it's half as bad as here, i feel the pain! @@MiscellanyofMishaps

[@JimmyBoogaloo]

haha owned them by fishing that out. unapologetic numpties

[@billoxiiboy]

Heheheehee....well done! :D

[@icooper5236]

Common sense is a thing of the past

[@northwalescoast7911]

Nice one ha ha 👍

[@hayleysowter578]

OMG There's always's one or two on the canals. I wonder if hire boat companies have the high rate premium insurance rate? As for the windlass, finders keepers losers weepers.

[@gadgme73]

I didn't' see one of them smile or laugh when they bashed your boat, an apology would have been good though. What I did see was you laugh and gloat when you found the overboard windlass, I guess when you told them they had lost it they never found it? Or maybe, just maybe, you never told them........

[@theyellow8834]

There should be driving lessons in the canal. A quick sry is still unacceptable.

[@derek6637]

should not be allowed on tithe canals without adequate training.

[@sueevans1152]

Aint they gonna have fun tryin to find windlass when they get to a lock 😆 what bellends

[@fins59]

Revenge is sweet.

[@marietjiehildebrandt1324]
