Hi guys, halfway through your video, and when Jo you said you didn’t have the money to paint the boat. Thoughts came straight in my head. You’ve been on the canals a long time, loved by many. Start a go fund me page. Or crowd fund page. Whatever they are called over there. Worth a try. To paint the outside of your boat. ❤️❤️

crowd funding is the generic word

Thank you. We will try and do a full tour at some point.

Yes! I would contribute in a heartbeat! We owe Michael for giving us the great mooring space on the river Cam just next to The Bridge Pub at Clayhithe Bridge. ❤

So glad you to are boating once again and vlogging as I'd forgotten how dry Michael's humour is (the drier the better). Can't wait for The Wash vlog, keeping everything crossed that you get good weather for it. In the meantime, stay safe, dry and happy ball throwing George!

Another great video, I like the more 'personal' videos. I have learnt (from this video) that I could never live on a narrowboat, no way am I tidy enough. :-)

Ha, we are not particularly tidy, but we are somewhat forced to be.

Glad that the boat passed her test, well done getting all the jobs done. A pity that that new box's lid didn't fit the old one, it would have saved a lot of work. Take a picture of the inside of that new box's lid to keep the part numbers for future reference. You were lucky to moor at Whittlesey it's often full and the same goes for Ferry Meadows, that's what it is known as locally. Was looking out for my old house as you went through Stanground. A pity that your videos are all published retrospectively as I'd have tried to see you being so close, within 4 miles of me. Very brave crossing the wash, good job that you got the engine serviced.
@MinimalListАй бұрын
We are only a week behind at the moment and i hope to keep it that way. A few years ago we were months and months behind. Yep it was good to get all the jobs ticked off however there is always something that needs doing on a boat.

I find it interesting that you say Torx is more expensive in the UK. Here in the US Torx costs no more than other choices and is slowly becoming the standard choice for screws. I for one applaud this trend.
