NARROWBOAT I A day of mistakes makes for an unpleasant cruise

This week we conclude our cruise along the Macclesfield canal and take the unusual junction at Kidsgrove onto the Trent and Mersey canal but not everything was plain sailing.

great vlog on you cranking it on the cut wit frends than four the great vlog on travels with frends on the cut and liveing the dream thanks lee

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

Thanks so much!!

[@neildaly6787]

Well, you took all of that in your stride. Well done Steve. It's interesting for us to see some of the downside, and some of the problems, on the canal. It is obviously not all beer and skittles; but the upsides are really big. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers.

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

True Neil. One has to take the ups and downs with this lifestyle but generally there are far more ups than downs 😊

[@less5195]

Nice vlog it good to see some bits that we miss on the cruises that we watch.

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

We do try to include a lot of side shots in the vlogs for just that reason less. Thanks for watching both channels. Most appreciated

[@KarenSFrancis]

There are days that nothing goes right. And after one of those, a good beer or cuppa, a very gooey cake or a bag of crisps... and a good sulk... feel good. The next day should improve! Hope your evening was better than the day!

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

As luck would have it the evening was much better Karen. A good pint and a good meal cooked by my fav chef onboard all all was right with the world 😂👍

[@BrigidC]

Another great vlog. Watched the tape breaking when it happened. Not a big deal…they really should have placed some kind of flag stating it was closed. That tape was a little hard to see, blended into its surroundings. Take it easy Steve…. Feel better. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

I agree Brigid. Not very easy to see that tape and we did have a giggle afterward saying AmyJo won the race 😂

[@BrigidC]

@ haha! Amyjo sure did! 😊

[@lesleym6952]

Hope you are feeling better Steve. I managed to watch some of this one in real-time and saw the wrong lock bit 😂 That’s the sort of thing I would do 😁 Have a lovely evening both and big tummy rubs to young Smudge 🥰

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

Feeling much better Lesley. Chris checked her last two years diary’s and I had the same reaction each year. I’d happily suffer that for just a couple of days rather than go through what I did when I had Covid anyday

[@lesleym6952]

@ I bet! That vlog you did after you had covid still stays with me - you were so poorly and seeing you still on oxygen even once out of the hospital, it was just awful. So glad you are feeling better Steve ☺️

[@cotcottage2788]

Great Vlog Steve and Chris love the music accompanying your vlog great seeing ourselves with Chris! ❤ Dave and Ruth

[@davecook3138]

Re: the damaged lock. I think it is called "managed decline". Which is a shame as we bought a boat last year.

[@LifeonboardAmyJo]

I like that Dave. Fits perfectly and I’m going ti use that in my next vlog 😊

[@FrankC321]

Muddy bushwacking is ok on a hike, but not to clear the bow. Very nice countryside!
