NIGHT MOVES - On The Coventry Canal

THE GENTLE LIFE!
In my little world of boating, I like fun, I enjoy the simple things in life, i love the gentle life, where nothing ever really happens. Well, until i get to work that is. Work is work, boating is the experience.
My world view is that there is already too much nonsense going off, in my world I try to inject a little humour, because after all, we only get one shot at this, so why not make it a good one.
I film my videos with the iPhone 14 pro max in 4K HDR

Well, I finally turned 60 in January 2024, and while some may think being a gentleman of a certain age is to be dreaded, i embrace it, i always say, that life before 50 was just the warm up.
Talking about friends in the boating community, in this video, i put together a cashé of the night footage i shot, raw and edited to music, ‘Night Moves’ - on the Coventry Canal is another intresting video linking all the night footage into one video.
The subject of this video, an edit of the last three videos, culminating into one cool episode of ‘night moves’.
So, welcome to the edit, of this wintery odyssey, we hope you will hop on board for this night cruise. enjoy.
East Midlands and much of the country has been hit by weeks of heavy and torrential rain and winter is far from over. From the 15th of January, wind, rain,snow and subzero temperatures are expected to hit us hard, not that winter has already struck hard.
However, we have seen dryer conditions and an end to the rising water levels, so the decision was made to make the journey across three canals to establish a long term mooring at Barton marina, Barton-under-needwood.
But what next…
The channel as of this video is 18 months old, to celebrate that ( mostly for myself 🤣😉 ) i present a brand new title sequence for 2024, and brief intros giving you a ‘look ahead’ in my latest videos.
The algorithm ? I havent a clue, it is said that one should be consistent ?? I tried that and it didn’t seem to work, dropping them at random now, they’re now doing loads better.
Make sure any filming equipment or phones are fully insured, retrieving items dropped in the water is not fun… you can lose your devices even in the shallowest of waters…

What a great video. Looking to buy a narrowboat very soon and watched so many channels for inspiration over the last 6 months or so. This video is so unique filming in the dark. Thanks for sharing and a new sub! I'll be checking out the rest of your videos.

Hey Greg… what a wonderful comment, I really appreciate it, I have been on board my boat, ‘Ebee’ since 2015… selling our house being the easiest decision we ever made, and we have never looked back.i am currently moored at Barton Marina on the Trent and Mersey canal, it’s like living on a Spanish Riviera, I started vlogging in late Summer 2022, not to become a ‘youtube sensation’, but to get across what an Interesting and wonderful life the boating community is really about. Check out ‘welldeck diaries’ and the ‘country house gent’, brillant channels, but if you really want it ‘warts and all’, check out ‘narrowboat Will’, he’s an absolute hoot.
