Let it Snow

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Gary and Nicky. The snow looks so lovely when you don’t have to travel in it. I remember that it was very short lived though. Nice vlog 👍Take care. Nick

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Hi Nick, it was absolutely freezing matey I can promise you lol

[@chrisspreyer1216]

That was wonderful Gary and Nicky. The snow scenery as you were travelling was amazing. Thank you for filming and getting frozen for everyone.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesbrashear1664]

Very much a beautiful wintery cruise, from the warmth of my home the canal shows her beauty still. The Cut never ceases to amaze me, along with the Captain of Chugabug.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thank you for your kind comment James, so pleased you enjoyed it bud

[@XploringwithAde]

The canals look like winter wonderland in the snow with the trees covered in snow too great video ❤️

[@annasyndergaard1162]

I love Noah's Snowman! You're brave to be traveling in the snow, but I understand why. Sometimes you just have to do what is necessary in spite of conditions. God bless ❤

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

God bless you too, we do have to move sometimes

[@philipizzard2584]

Hi Gary looks beautiful in the snow on the Llangollen canal,I’d do the prees branch if you can later on it’s worth doing it,take care in the storms today 😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We love the Prees Arm matey and the breakfasts in Whixall marina

[@bruceshaw2402]

Well, you certainly experienced more snow than me , it was two days of wintery weather and then it was gone , the best place for snow is on Christmas cards, photographs and youtube of course 😁 ( I'm not a fan of the stuff ) . Take care .

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I can't stand the stuff Bruce. I'm with you, keep it for the Christmas cards

[@NarrowboatMark]

Wow, Gary, you might be cold, but what a stunning cruise that was ❤

Thank you were all safe and cosy

[@frankquevedo6001]

Pure Magical sight. Thank you for trouble.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Our pleasure!

[@stephengardiner9867]

Your weather looks like it did here yesterday (December 7th)! Not a "winter person" myself but I deal with it... Some find it enchanting... but I am heading into the 70th one that I have endured... I suspect that the charm is wearing off! Snow as it may, at least you are not "ice-breaking"! Was there ever anything like a canal icebreaker when these cuts were mostly industrial and commercial? Certainly there must have been spells when the canals froze over thick enough to hinder transport of goods.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

There were ice breakers on the cut, you could identify them by their very thin and pointy bows

[@pampeacock3320]

Morning from NZ, we have just watched your video, can you advise how you do the mapping thanks Pam & Keith, lovely watching the snowfall as we sit in sunshine

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Nickys the one in charge of the tracking apps as I'm useless, im sure it's called Relive

[@pampeacock3320]

@GaryCaptainPhillips ok thanks we'll look for it hope to see you next year on the cut NB: Kunekune- Merry Christmas to you all from downunder 🥝🥝🥝🥝🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@brianwoodhouse6264]

Hi Gary, I've been looking for a new horn for my narrowboat for at least the last year and can't find one I like the look or sound of!...However I'm loving the sound of yours so would really appreciate knowing it's make and where you bought it. Keep up the great work with the vlogs and I hope you all have a great Christmas, thanks Brian

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Hi Brian, im so pleased you're enjoying the vlogs bud. We got our horn from Venetian Marina chandlery (£18.95) and its a better. I'm sure if you contact them (Ruth & Richard) they could forward one on to you

[@brianwoodhouse6264]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips Thanks Gary, I see Richard occasionally so will have a word when I see him next.

[@JulieCornhill]

Hi is there any way of watching your videos in order. We’d love to watch them from the very first one but just jumps fro one to another x

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Yes there is... if you go to my home page for Chugabug and click the videos icon they appear in order

[@JulieCornhill]

Thank you so very much!!! Hope you are all well and keeping safe. x

[@stephengardiner9867]

One way to readily gauge the temperature is the size of the snow particles. Yours look fairly large (and wet!) indicating it is not "perishing" cold and the water points were probably O.K. ...FOR NOW... No ice on the cut but you have to go "with your gut"! Long range armchair gongoozlers like me are not there getting pelted!

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We after found out that boaters had used the water point and it was fine. Bettisfield does freeze easily though as we have found in previous years

[@Kat69nh]

P. S. Hi Andy

[@malinhead8468]

Take your hat off and I'll donate money

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Lol I've wore my hat before I was a boater
