NARROWBOAT RESCUE - inspired by nature - episode 92

[@ceebee223]

Lovely videos and stories! Hope more viewers subscribe & join the journey!!

[@captainzeppos]

I follow several narrowboat channels. Most are consistently excellent. However this is the only one that makes me smile throughout the duration of each video. I'm not entirely sure why, but I don't care. I just follow it to wherever it leads every time.

[@inspiredbynature3]

Thanks for your kind words 🙏 pleased you're enjoying the moments, and that's what life is really about 🙏 Dave

[@karensmith2204]

Makes me smile the entire time also. Happy to know others love it like me.

Now then Dave I am sat here Keeping my dying dog company but I find it so relaxing watching you on your boat in all weathers so thank you for keeping me company.

Impressive boat handling - that marina was incredibly tight.

[@desmondsouthwell3529]

Thank you, Dave, for another great episode. I absolutely love your brilliant closeups of wildlife. Such beautiful colours. All the flowers and trees, etc, are so wonderful.

[@louiselage7740]

Thank you for sharing your world. The wildlife is beautiful. So relieved to hear that the narrowboat was saved thanks to the help of everyone who came to the rescue. I look forward to seeing more of your journeys as the Spring and Summer reveal themselves to us...

[@lizcleere]

Thank you for the uplifting glimpses you give us into the natural world back home in the UK (I'm living in tropical Indonesia at the moment, so a very different landscape). There's joy to be found in nature everywhere. I read today about Chris Packham joining a 'fight for nature' gathering to bring awareness to the loss of biodiversity in the UK. It seems "43% of UK bird species are in decline and 97% of wildflower meadows have disappeared since the second world war". The news is relentlessly sad, so I cling to the more uplifting stories I watch from nature aficionados like you and Vanessa of The Mindful Narrowboat. I've been living on a sailboat for 20 years so have first hand experience of plastic pollution and coral decline. But there are also fantastic efforts to clean up the coasts and plant coral gardens. Just like on land, the ability nature has to spring back is astounding. "I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so f****n' heroic." George Carlin 🙏

[@dianakotori]

Jeez, Dave! You've got some serious skills with that boat of yours! That marina seems to be really tight! I'm so glad you managed without a scratch! It was lovely to see all the other boats for a change, love the names and the colours. And I'm glad Emily is up and floating again, boat owners' worst nightmare.

[@themetalgardener4960]

How wonderful you and others were able to help him. Hopefully someone had a dehumidifier for him and some fans. How very scary and difficult but at least the boat was saved.

Hi Dave: I haven't been by your channel for a while, but I am so glad that I came by today! Your photography, dialogue, and choice of music provide a sense of immersion which is, for me, both unique and exquisite. On a practical note, I watch a couple of channels featuring various boats, and something that I have been wondering about canal boats which tend to be quite long, would it not be practical to consider installing some sort of bowthruster? It could be driven electrically, and lowered/raised as required? It might help with manoeuvring in tight spots? They have them on some yachts, so might be an idea for a canal boat too? Anyway, thanks for a wonderful video. I enjoyed it very much.

[@inspiredbynature3]

[@lynnmelville3772]

What caused his boat to sink? Really scary, thank god he is afloat and all good. Lovely wildlife and great video.

[@inspiredbynature3]

Hi, this is what we think possibly happened. there had been heavy, torrential rain and it had leaked in around the weed and engine bay hatch. The drain holes to send water back out in to the canal couldn't cope with the amount of rain fall. That then spilled over into the boat. At some point engine exhaust hole out side the boat went under. Then the canal water just flooded the boat. Then it started going in the rear doors. It was then jazz spotted his boat was sinking. The mooring side of the boat was resting on the bottom of the canal and listing into deeper water. We slowed a passing boat down so as not to pull the boat further into the canal, which could have been a bigger problem in rescuing it.

[@lynnmelville3772]

@inspiredbynature3 crikey... our weather has a lot to answer for.. I'm really glad all went well in the end. Great videos, and I look forward to seeing more.

Hi David. Thanks for tuning into my channel and watching this episode. Yes, I'm a solo liveaboard. But I'm never alone 😃 especially with being surrounded by nature and the friendly boating community. Hope you enjoy many of my previous and future vlogs. Dave

[@mariaetheridge8343]

Question: do you stay on one canal coasting up and down or to you change over to other canals? That marina entrance looks 🙈 How about exiting backwards? 🤔 I follow you from Cyprus, btw. 😊

[@inspiredbynature3]

Hi, thanks for watching my channel. I cruise on two canals. On my boat its more difficult in reverse. Some more modern boats have bow thrusters to help steer.

[@lyndadavid6976]

OK, officially worried, where’s Dave? No new post in quite awhile. Maybe I missed the memo. I look for you everyday. Hope all is well. 💖

[@inspiredbynature3]

Episode been on hold whislt I've been busy moving two boats in and out of dry dock. Busy month !

[@steventhomas8964]

Love your videos. I am curious how much do narrowboat marinas cost? In the US it goes off how big your boat is.

[@inspiredbynature3]

Hi, thanks for watching 🙏 to be honest, I'm not sure on costs, as I'm a continuous cruiser and just pay for my cruising licence, just over one thousand pounds. I do know it's on the length of your boat. But you also still have to pay a licence fee to the canal and river trust and its about to go up a lot! I think folk pay maybe two to three thousand per year. Maybe someone might comment on here the cost. Like I say, I'm not sure. Dave

[@louisebooth4703]

I have a 70' boat and pay £3,300 p.a. for a marina in the Midlands.

[@inspiredbynature3]

Are you a liveaboard?

[@louisebooth4703]

Leisure. Out and about a lot on the cut, but need somewhere to park when I'm not! Just found your channel and it is a cut above most of the other canal boat vloggers.

[@inspiredbynature3]

[@JM-yd9sm]

Why oh why would that marina not place some skids/ fenders on that narrow entrance? Talk about making life unnecessarily stressful.

[@ASmileAdayful]

Just asking if your OK?

[@inspiredbynature3]

Yes, I'm ok thanks. Just been a busy few weeks with boat maintenance. Slowed down on the filming and editing due to the essential maintenance 🙏
